I'm having to sit indoors all day, even though I wanted to go to town, because my Mum ordered a new kettle from Next. Ours works fine but it short-circuits itself (I'm guessing) and cuts out the boiling process mere seconds before it really should. So it's a bit faulty. Let me see if I can find the kettle we're getting: http://www.next.co.uk/x513342s1#134258x51 or http://www.next.co.uk/x511322s1#778454x51
Basically, we've got a ceramic kettle. Something I'm a bit hesitant about as I'm quite clumsy. I've dropped our sugar jar before and one of our bowls that had just been washed up. I don't think she'd be impressed if this got dropped. xD
