I think Brig recommended how to do this with the aid of a kettle and a dustbin. Could you go through this again for me please?

Sol I did it last year in a dustbin. Put your haynet in then pour over two kettles of boiling water replacing the lid immediately after each one. Then just leave it until you need it. I used to do mine in the morning then take them out in the evening. Smells yummy!
I did find a standard dustbin to be quite tricky to fit the haynets in so had to get a bigger one - though I did think this year about trying a wheelie bin.

They can take the future that we'll never know, they can take the places that we said we would go, all the broken dreams, take everything, just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

I do as Scatty says but I don't always steep it for as long - perhaps 2/3hrs and its damp through and Murphy loves it.
