This looks pretty cool.

I should do that. My glasses have been missing the hinge screw for about a year. I stuck a toothpick through and broke it off and then sellotaped it. It's been remarkably durable and it's fully functioning.

Stick a couple of eggs in the kettle in the morning before making tea, then top up and boil again, then whenever you want your hard boiled egg, she'd be ready

I did this in work a few times with varying degrees of success. The different kettles I used were difficult to get the eggs out of. Also one of the eggs cracked, so I had to wash it out and start again for the tea. I can see frankfurters working better as you can stab them with a fork to get them out. If I was in that much hurry in the morning, then I would hardboil 10 eggs on a sunday evening, and have them ready in the fridge each morning.

If you really want to save that precious couple of minutes in the morning, assuming you get up the same time every morning, is before you go to bed, fill the kettle, press the button, and have a timeswitch on the kettle so it starts around the same time your getting out of bed. It should be boiled by the time you are dressed and in the kitchen. Maybe get a second kettle for your eggs and do the same thing? Im not sure i would recommend using the same water for the tea and the eggs.
