Soup is made in the pressure cooker which cuts the cooking time by at least half and so saves on the gas. Since I cook only small quantities of potatoes and other veg, it's cost-effective to use the microwave - 5 minutes instead of 25 on the hob. I buy a kilo of carrots, use half for carrot and coriander soup and freeze the rest.

I said at work today 'I doff my hat to you' and my colleague looked at me blankly. I also recently said 'photo-stat machine' till a young colleague said 'Why do you say that, instead of photocopier?' (blush). I wondered why myself, and then remembered about roneo-stat machines, but decided against trying to explain to a 23 year old. No wonder DD sometimes says to me "How do you still fool them at work, woman?"
