I will have a root round and see what i can find.
Thank you all for the suggestions.
 

You will find a large selection at amazon.co.uk (search on the word 'timer').

Hi All
sorry for the late reply,after doing all the recommended suggestions.All I could see was small plastic digital timers,that for some reason i wasn't looking for.I was thinking bigger but as i haven't been well for a few weeks now i think I was a bit dozy at the time .
On seeing the timers I went out the next day and got one from the 1 pound shop on the kitchen stuff shelf.It is just what i wanted its great it has its own stand so i have it by the computer you can even clip it onto your clothing.Set it by minutes or seconds like the microwave timer.It did give me a fright though when i tested it  i was reading something of interest on the P.C and forgot about the timer   I was expecting a beep when it went off instead i got a phone ring that nearly gave me a heart attack

Bet you could probably leave that in the kitchen and still hear it!

I don't know why i never thought of getting a timer Long ago ::)I have burnt so many pizzas practising the time which to cook them.I don't like them, but one day i might I never did get the timing right  and they burnt to a cinder.They would have made good Frisbees though and my blackcurrant crumbles the currents were that burnt i had to wait till the went cold.Then lift it out in one piece
Hopfully i can now get my home cooking out of the oven just right

My sons bought my mum a fridge magnet which said " if you can't smell burning it must be salad tonight"

It was so true,as my mum could burn water- she always got sidetracked whilst cooking

It has to be remembered us Mum`s & Nan`s have SSSSOOOOOOOOOO much more important things to think about than cooking.

 

Love the idea of Fridge Magnet
