Now, that I've wiped up the drool, what was my point? Oh yes, my gadget! A few Xmases ago my uncle bought me a present. That in itself is unusual, it's the only one he's ever bought me but the present itself turned out to be a plastic bag sealer!! It's one of those that actually sucks all the air out of the bag before sealing so it keeps food unbelievably fresh but it's one of those gadgets that you think to yourself "Hey, this is neat! Now, at the back of which particular cupboard can I lose this neat little gadget?"

And of course that's just what I did until last night when I was making packed lunches for us all and suddenly realised I hadn't bought any sandwich bags. Oh oh, disaster! But wait, as I frantically searched cupboards for something to wrap my butties in, I stumbled across my bag sealer, perfect timing!

So after sucking every single molecule of air from around my piece of home made sponge cake and deftly sealing the bag with the application of a little heat, I'm all packed and ready for work tomorrow and my go-go gadget has pride of place in my kitchen (next to my picture of Bill Shankly).

I feel like a domestic goddess - which is so lame because I'm really not but this is the most mumsy/domestic thing I've done since I gave birth so just humour me won't you? :-D
