some of the towns have credit unions , loaning money at a very cheap rate of interest ie.£300 over a year = £6.31 a week paying back just £329.28. The nearest one to me is Rawtenstall tel.01706 212759 , they would be able to tell you if one nearer yourself .

i thought you had to save with them before they would loan you money?

Try the shop on Union Road in Ossy that does hoovers & washing machines aswell. Its on the same block as the gym, across from the town hall. My friend got a brand new one from there fully fitted for £75.

I was without an oven door for about 12 months Emzy after the glass had blown (whilst I was on holiday !). Took door off completely and worked a treat if I put a large piece of foil across the doorway. Was electric. Might be a temporary measure.

Sorry, I can't help you ... but some good suggestions on here. x

It cant still be used but dangerous if the boys go near it (they are still very young and often 1 provides a distraction for the other to be naughty) I nearly burnt myself using it yesterday

Am holding out some hope that someone somewhere has one going very cheap so i can replace it lol

Its ok, if it was just me i would just use it as it is for a while (although things are taking longer to cook lol) but its just the safety thing for the twins thats bothering me the most
