have you looked on freecycle in your area someone might be giving one away free!
Ebay - they may have something local
Local supermarkets have 4 sale boards
local paper
If you ae on certain benefits you can get grants - mighht be worth looking at?
I did search on the net for you but could only come up with companies thast covered small areas nothing national so mich be best if you search on it with your location.
Good luck

Even better there are "freecycle" groups where these might be available. If you "cannot afford" a new one what HP company would finance it? Consider second hand.
If - as you put it - yours has "packed up" it might be very simple to fix. It is unusual for everything to go. Usually just a ring or element goes. It might be as simple as the fuse at the main distribution board. Do you know of anyone who could check although if you call someone out that would cost you!

Dont buy one - Register with the nearest 'www.freecycle.com' and put a 'wanted' ad on. There will be plenty of people wanting to get rid of an old cooker if they're updating.

Hi, don't know know where you live but in Hull East Yorkshire (UK) there is a web site called hullfreecycle.co.uk and this site is used for people who have stuff to offer and people who need stuff i.e. cookers, furniture, bikes, laptops etc. and no one pays for anything because everything is being recycled.
You may have a similar site in your area and it will save you having to go into debt.
good luck Morsel
