Random Irritations

Our toaster has died this morning ?, it's tripping the house. It was a top toaster, 4 slice, wide fitting. I like to physically check them out before buying, I want one capable of taking wide slices, so it's replacement will have to wait ?. Old school grill for the immediate future.
Dualit every time (the original ones). Expensive, but totally repairable and old school.
 
LT have you tried throughly cleaning it out? Sometimes a lodged piece of carbon can short it out. Also does it trip when you use either side? (assuming the toaster has four slots with two separate lots of controls)
I only tried one side. I'll look in it and see, thanks for the tip ?

If only one side is working then I will still replace it. It is not unusual for us to all 4 slots toasting at once so I want it working at full capacity.

My 4 sllice Dualit can be adjusted so that it will do 1,2,3 or 4 slices thus saving on leccy:)
 
Next door's roofers. Bad enough that they turned up today, but then they clattered & banged their way through the 2 minute silence that the rest of the street came out to observe. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Spent the last few days building decking. Got the base installed on posts and levelled yesterday, started laying the boards today, got to board 16 and realised they supplied 120nm boards when I ordered and paid for 145mm ones, and its a bank holiday so they are closed today. Absolutely raging ??
 
Jealous are we?:LOL::LOL:

My wife was initially scpetical about getting it, but even she agrees now it's the best toaster we've had:)
I do, bizarrely, have certain appliance envy. Have you ever seen a Kitchen Aid kettle? ??. Ridiculous price but gorgeous design.

We are at the point now where my wife will pay more for certain things, we splashed on a kitchen aid mixer and food processor, two separate items, and they are really solid and should last. She is less keen on the likes of kettles and toasters so i have to craftily up the level each time ?.

"Appliance envy"... I've heard it all now... Shocking admission from a bloke! ;)
I am, however, OK with mancave and shed envy :p...

Start planning what you are going to spend the refund on.
Every cloud...........:)
 
Is it some sort of ritual I don’t know about that when it’s nice weather at weekends everybodies neighbours have to do some kind of diy outside?!
