Hi ladies.

Yet another thing which would be so easy to get at home, yet so hard to find here.

I need a kitchen timer. I want it to be digital and able to count down for several hours. Would prefer if it has a magnet so I can mount it on my fridge but beggars can't be choosers.

I've seen 2 only which would be adequate, in 2 different high end stores in City Center. But they wanted 250QR for them or more and that's just silly. Back home they wouldn't be more than US$20.

Has anyone seen something similar?

Success! I popped by Daiso today and picked it up. It's not exactly what i had in mind but hey, it was 7 riyals. And it's magnetic! Thanks ladies. And MK - thanks for your tip too, I might pop by and see if the one in Dasman centre is better.

Got one in the Japanese section of Dasman centre,(same pricing strategy as Daiso - 7 or 10 riyals for most things) counts down for several hours and is magnetic. The alarm isn't very loud but then it doesn't scare the life out of me when it goes off either.
