Hello every one thanks very much for support.
I enjoy doing this. I do like cooking as you all know but this does save me standing for long periods.
Do get a lot of pain.
No need to be on the hob worrying about if this going to be cooked.
I am safe and clean this does help.
I do and have done forgotten had a pot on .
Senior moments. Doe happen unfortunately, even to me.
Easy straight in to a slow cooker this morning. Evening meal for tonight.
I will be putting some more on.
Thanks very much.
Take care.
