We absolutely love our La-Z-Boy lounger suite. And can't recommend them more highly.
We have the Bari 3 seater (with 2 recliners) and two single recliners. Excellent quality and as a bonus, they come apart fairly easily to get through doors etc when moving house -it's still a 2-3 person move though as they are heavy!!
I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/

Great chair Gert. Other items will not be so interesting. ,!
We bought a new Asko washing machine, an Eco model . Very exciting!! I would rather have a Cook book.
Bought a $5 square , 12  hole tin and cooked rolls in it. Now I am going to check out the thread with all those fab recipes.

Great chair Gert.
I'm looking forward to seeing the photos of your new place once you move in with all your new purchases.

We're fans of Lazy Boy too. We had a 3 seater lounge and two rockers, but eventually wore it out. Now we have a rocker each. Love them to bits. ( they're blue too)

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks for the details on the Mary Berry book,  CC, will keep an eye out for it. 

Chookie, any chance of a pic of the  tin.  I am looking out for a tin for bread rolls.

You just bought it all at once Astarra. Saved fuel by not going back again.  :D :D ;D

Chookie, thanks for your trouble. Really appreciate it.  Looks good.  Do you have a special tin for the other rolls in the photo?.

Yes, it was very expensive. Chicago Metallic, but worth every penny. I also bake Kimmyh fruit cake in it. I put the smallest of bread stick dough in the Center as it doesn't cook as well as the outside ones. 20 minutes at 200 ff.
