Boxing day

On Boxing Day I went to the store where I bought the oven from as I had realised that part of the cooker was missing. When I set it up it felt like something wasn't quite right, but it was only when I went to light the gas that I realised what exactly was wrong. 

The little discs that fit on the hobs were missing, and without them you can't light the gas. Thankfully the cooker has an electric plate - which I wasn't that bothered about at first but my brother in law pointed out that if the gas runs out midway through cooking you can use it as back up. A very valid point, and I was glad I had listened to him. 

The staff gave me the discs I needed with no questions asked. The cooker is now fully functioning.

I am also very excited about the grill function (cue lots of toast) and I can't wait to use the oven. Simple pleasures! 

In an update to Christmas Day - my brother in law came over with some of his friends, with a huge grilled fish and some tins of beer. He is getting to know me well.
