Megan sounds like the devil baby is going around - your symptoms are a lot like mine. Then they just suddenly left so don't give up hope yet! Hope you get to lose your grumpy face soon. I think ours is Breville too and we have a recipe book called, funnily enough, 'the slow cooker recipe book'. You can do stews, soups, casseroles, terrines, steamed puddings, cakes (never tried those), pot roasts, lasagne, preserves - list is endless. And you have to love one pot dishes that don't leave you with a mountain of washing up!
While we're on the topic of cooking and being busy, I'll put plug in for the dolmio's pasta bakes - you don't even have to cook the pasta first, just chuck it all in and bung it in the oven. I like to substitute some sort of meat for part of the pasta and cook it at a lower temp so the flavour goes through everything and you can forget it about it for a couple of hours. Oh, and whack some pesto on top of chicken, add some vegies on top and wrap it all in a foil parcel to throw in the oven, that's one of my favourites for saving time and energy. I'm really going on aren't I? LOL I do love food.

Off to have the Magnum my loverly hubby bought home.
