Myrna's here
so its her first day and we decide that shopping is in order- whole new wardrobe needed and cash in hand we hit the shops
trawled around all the shops and she spent the sum total of £9.99 on a pair of shoes
wonder how long thats going to last
off to tesco for a food shop - this time £108 later and with the essential slow cooker (wait till later ) we hit boots where she gets a hair dryer and an iron for her hair- to you and me thats ceramic straighteners
anyway we gets home and she is complaining that her rice cooker ( the slow cooker ) doesnt have a cup in it i produce a cup from the cupboard but no this isnt the cup that comes with the cooker. so we have a converstaion for about 30 mins on why the slow cooker and the rice cooker are the same thing
we are due out tonight but at the moment shes crashed out so dunno whether we will make it
to be continued

Cheers to both of you!
Can't believe Sparky that you don't know what a rice cooker is
Rice cooker and slow cooker are definitely, in my book, not the same thing Myrna is right!
Slow cooker does meat and veg over a period of 8 hours or so, rice cooker makes rice in 15 minutes, it's an absolute essential, I never had one before I went to the Phils but I could not live without it now.

If you get one, make sure it has a separate steamer tray...
All the best from us.

She can always cook rice in a pan.. i do cook rice that way and it only takes 15-20 mins and wallah! it's done! no fuss going about
And also, I was wondering if there's any charity shops where you live? She can get a lot of shopping for pennies in the second hand shops.
Be reasonable hehe! i'll consider myself KURIPOT!Taka care now & Bye!.... Venus

I go to carboot sales to buy much cheaper clothes or any other things that i can send at home by boxes.
You're right! There are a lot of discounted prices during sales. I like Primark for coats, shoes, etc.
I do buy some other things on ebay uk, too!
... you have to be more practical these days..Taka care now & Bye!.... Venus

i will admit defeat and go get her a rice cooker later
i will just have to make sure its got a cup in it
shes a bit reluctant to go outside at the moment and i am balancing work now and trying to get her out and about
thanks to all for your welcome- any tips on making it easier for her to settle would be welcomed
