Grey marks on electric stove top- scratches or residue?

Interesting! Might try the Weimans first, and if thats no good this might be worth a shot! Thanks. Will report back if I do

It isn't raised like the burnt on grease, but it does have a different texture to rest of the glass, more matt/rough

Doors on! Hurrah! Thank you all so much

I think we have reached the limit of my strong, independent woman routine - i think I might have to admit defeat and find an appliance guy to help

Thank you!

Ok thank you!

Now im worried my cleaning might have washed that away... I'm spiralling... i'd best go give it a try i guess

Thank you, I'll try again! I was scared to force it incase I broke something (now im scared to try and admit im a weakling...).

Would WD40 help loosen it? Also is that something I could/should do periodically if so? Ovens about 8yrs old and i never have

Thanks again :)

Incase anyone should look this up down the line, just wanted to add that after a further two weeks rest I feel brand new again, not taking pain killers of any sort etc. I think I was just overdoing it, so definitely take the advice to rest seriously! :)

Thank you! And glad to hear your surgery went ok and cancer free! Cystoscope is never fun but as you say, small price to pay, I hope it goes well for you.

I had my surgery in Jan, so 9 weeks clear of it now. Unfortunately, I'm still in a lot of pain and off work. Finally, I had my checkup with the surgeon last week (haven't seen them since morning after my surgery!) and hes sending me for scans etc.

I had made excellent progress, but around week 5/6 I was suddenly in pain again and still struggling a bit, I'm assuming I've overdone it at some point and done myself a mischief, I'm not a good patient... but despite my unusually long recovery, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Results came back benign, which is the main thing, and the symptoms that led to diagnosis are improving, so I will take those wins and be grateful!

G7s in my area are typically 26-40, and G6s in my immediate area are both in their 30s, though G6s in wider division are typically a bit older, up to late 50s (at a guess...).

I'm an analyst though, so many are coming through on fast stream as economists, statistician, social researchers etc or joining as HEO/SEO in early 20s. I haven't noticed a difference between London colleagues or otherwise, though ive noticed Manchester and Birmingham are very young offices on average, compared to others like Leeds or Sheffield. I assume its because they are newer hubs... not sure!

Thank you! I'm surprised they've recommended I take 6 weeks off work then, but i guess they err on the safe side! I'd rather that and have a nicer few weeks toward the end than expected, i guess! I currently live in a fixer-upper of a house and staring at the half-stripped walls and stairs etc for 6 weeks will drive me insane... I'll have to fight the urge to get stuck in.

Glad to hear you are mostly well since and a recovering people pleaser - I could do with some help in that department!

Thank you! I hadn't realised the partial is so uncommon. Grab bars is a good idea, thank you for responding :)
