I mainly bought it for rolling savoury biscuits but my oven is still waiting to be fixed so that's on hold for the moment.  Will eventually give pasta making a go so thanks for the tips girls.  I could just use my clothes airer couldn't I?

DH and I paid a visit to the Miele showroom this afternoon - the latest addition to the appliance list for the new kitchen:  built-in coffee machine.

It's certainly different to normal coffee machines Karen - is it easy to clean?  You might as well go the whole hog and finish your kitchen with everything that opens and shuts - you've waited so long for it you deserve the works.

It is very easy to clean JD - that was one of the first things I got them to show me in the store!  Apart from us both getting free coffees made for us, and the kids getting free bikkies and dropping crumbs all over the showroom floor and leaving fingerprints on the shiny appliances ;)

It is built in to the wall, above the oven, so saves bench space.

The Ezibuy online Christmas catalogue was too much temptation, for a weak willed girl such as myself  :P







and 3 sets each of these for the Christmas tree





and a fitted quilt valance in Lilac for DD (only $20!)



oh, and 2 personalized prints for Hubby & son for under the tree.





.........EAT CAKE!

Maddy you are a shocker. :D :D :D I love all your purchases.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Maddy, I wish you lived closer.  
I have a pink cake and pie carrier that would fit nicely in your kitchen.



It will hold two pies and one fairly tall cake.
