I turned off the boiler last night and put the immersion heater on this afternoon. Also, washed the dog's blankets and towels and they dried quickly in the wind.
Next up, I found the slow cooker and put some dried peas to cook. They'd been soaking since last night.
Also filled 2 flasks with boiling water.
Tomorrow, the hours are 1-3pm which at least covers lunchtime. It'll be interesting to see how much, if anything, they credit my account with!

Just finished my time slot! Have washed a load of bedding, Heated the water with the immersion, filled 2 flasks with boiling water and cooked some bulghur wheat (use by 2022) in the microwave. It was the first thing I grabbed but the cooking instructions were for cooking on the hob. Maybe microwaves hadn't been invented when this bulghur wheat was packaged!
