...Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
The Spider and the Fly
Mary Howitt
Now, I'm not scared of spiders, but my boyfriend is, especially since my home has recently become home to a colony of wolf spiders, due to some maternal female spider coming in with her young.
You can guarantee that when we sit down at night for a meal, a spider will come scuttling across the living room rug, missing his feet by inches, and leading to exclamations of 'Ruddy Hell' - or words roughly to that effect but not printable in a review...

...The Morphy Richards Bread maker 48220 series is a welcome addition to our household. For all of those of you looking for the ultimate gift I guarantee the recipients of this little beauty will be eternally grateful.
Imagine the scene, you come home from a hard day at the office and the first thing to greet you is the delicious aroma of freshly baked bread. You cannot resist but to grab a slice and wolf it down. Well all this is possible with this fully automatic bread maker. As you leave for work you put in the ingredients switch it on and everything will be mixed, kneaded and cooked on your return.

This unit has 8 bread settings to combine...

...I had wanted a breadmaker for a while but didn't know if I wanted to spend £30+ on something that I would use a couple of times and then forget about it. luckily a guy I worked with heard me mention to another colleague that Iwas after one and said I could have his - he had been given it last xmas and neither him nor his wife had ever used it. since then I have never looked back! fair enough, the loafs are small but they taste so good!! have also roped in my stepson to help with making pizza from scratch - 3 weeks ago he would only eat cheese and tomato pizza but now wolfs down pepperoni, salami, garlic sausage etc. we also make our own pizza sauce which is messy but fun! admittedly I still buy bread from the shop but only use it for sandwiches at work (I would have to make 4 loaves a day otherwise the amount of bread we go through...
