Mine lasted longer than that, but it did need a new blade after a while. A pity they can't be sharpened.
I had a very useful long thin cutting board, very handy for cutting long strips. I leaned it against the back of a worktop to store it. The worktop was not sealed to the wall and the board vanished for ever down into a black hole.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
