Clean and shiny pots and pans

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: more expensive than other brands

...Fairy Dishwasher Tablets At the ripe old age of 49 I no longer have to wash the pots in the sink. I am so happy to have been bought a dishwasher by my family, to help ease the household chores. I was so keen to use the dishwasher the first day I got it that I rushed out to the shop and bought the shops own brand of dishwasher tablets, which did clean the dishes quite well, but I found that the pans and oven trays sometimes had to be done twice, especially after a Sunday dinner and the roast potatoes had been cooked in them. So I decided to pay a little extra and get a brand named dishwasher tablet. At Morrison?s there were Fairy dishwasher tablets on offer for a bag of 14 tablets, which does 14 washes for £1.49 which I thought was reasonable as all the other brands were quite a bit more. I was surprised to see how much...

A terracotta pot

Advantages: looks ok
Disadvantages: frost might smash it

...I have a couple of these terracotta pots from B&Q .They cost £1.50p each and I think this a reasonable price .fair price. I have had mine identical to the ones pictured for a few years now. I have some pelargonium in mine at the moment. In the spring I had some daffodils planted in one of them. I use these terracotta pots both outside on the patio and in the conservatory. I have been known to use them to hold a rustic garden display in the house too. Description ~~~~~~ I do love terracotta clay pots for my outdoor plants I think they are attractive. This 23cm terracotta pot from B &Q is a lovely natural slightly reddish brown tan colour. The inside is smooth. There is a rim of about 5 or 6 cm at the top of this clay port There is some design on the outside of the pot . The pot is smooth for a few cm then there are 3 raised...

* Go Pots over Noodles *

Advantages: Tasty , Quick , Filling
Disadvantages: Had a Couple of 'eww!' ones!

...I have always loved pot noodles , ever since my sister got me into them when I was about ten years old. I always went for the Chicken and Mushroom flavoured ones. Well , to be honest that's the only one I've tried really ; apart from when the Chicken and Mushroom flavour was out-of-stock at my local convenience shop and so had to go with the 'blue one' as I called it ( the sweet and sour flavoured one (I think anyway - I didn't like that one!). It wasn't until recently that I became hooked on pot noodles again. I had gone off them a couple of years ago after having a couple which weren't very tasty and tasted oddly compared to the usual taste. However when at the supermarket a couple of weeks back I noticed that the 'noodles' were on offer and so threw a couple into the trolley forgetting that I had gone off them! On the pot , it...

Terramundi Pots - Drive you potty with patience :)

Advantages: Helps ya save, Great unusual gift, All the money when you open it
Disadvantages: You have to break it

...These things are a great and unusual gift generally loved by all! I got my partner one of these for his birthday and he was well pleased. They come with a little card that you fill in stating what you are going to use the money on once the pot is full...the only thing is it HAS to be something fun like a holiday, so no bill paying allowed!! There is also a fortune coin in the pot which cannot be retreived until the pot is opened. The only way to open your pot is to smash it and well your not gonna want to do that until it's full...I have also heard its bad luck if you do and well if your superstitious like me you'll be very careful lol. Although you have to smash or break the pot to get your money out you dont technically have to smash it to pieces you can do it with a chisel or back of a hammer, thus keeping the bottom half...

I Won't Be Keeping A Stock Of Stock Pots In My Cupboard

Advantages: none at all
Disadvantages: overpriced, salty, artificial

...The secret to a good soup is starting with a good quality stock for the base. I make my own chicken stock by boiling down chicken bones with water and it makes an exceptionally tasty soup but when I make my lentil soup only knorr ham cubes will do. I had spotted the knorr stock pots on the shelves of the supermarkets several times and wondered if they were any good but the price of around £2 for a box of eight potions put me off. Luckily one day they were on half price offer so I chucked them into my trolley. Knorr claim that these stock pots are "a rich concentrated stock made from selected meats, herbs and spices that are gently simmered into a concentrated little pot" so I was expecting something better than a bog standard commercially prepared stock cube. I was not expecting it to be as good as my home made chicken stock but I was...

Review of Pot Noodle

A Pot Noodle without the pot - whatever next!?

Advantages: Tasty, quick and easy to make, vegetarian, cheap
Disadvantages: I still prefer Pot Noodles, not exactly healthy, not the most sophisticated of foods

...I am absolutely in love with chicken and mushroom Pot Noodles so when I saw NEW chicken and mushroom 'Wot? Not in a Pot Noodle' in the shops, I just had to try it. There are 3 other flavours to choose from (but which I have not tried) - beef and tomato, southern fried chicken and sweet and sour. PACKAGING The chicken and mushroom 'Not in a Pot Noodle' is packed in a green, foil packet. It has the same size and shape as Super Noodles. Each packet is 63g. There is a green, foil sachet inside the pack which holds the chicken and mushroom flavour. APPEARANCE Once the noodles have been removed from the packet they are ready to cook. The noodles are packed tightly and are stuck together to form a block. They appear a pale, beigy colour and are very dry. The chicken and mushroom flavour powder is a bright...

A Mexican fiesta in a pot

Advantages: filling, high in fibre, low in fat, tasty
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Variety is the spice of life especially when it comes to lunch time. I'm always on the look out for something quick, healthy and tasty for the most important hour of the working day. Yesterday i had something very different courtesy of Innocent the smoothie manufactures. Innocent have diversified from smoothies, thickeis and juices into the ready meal market with their veg pots. These are little pots full of fresh vegetables, herbs spices and grains for a guilt free lunch. I chose the Mexican sweet potato chilli .This was originnaly a seasonal limited edition but it proved so popular it became a permanent part of the range. I had little choice , as that was the only one lurking in Tescos reduced cabinet. I had seen them many a time before but i was unwilling to pay the full price of £3.49. Instead I got mine half price as it was on its...

Rediscover your inner child with Paint Pots!

Advantages: Works really well as a base, increases colour vibrancy and staying power
Disadvantages: Rediscover your inner child with Paint Pots!

...For a long time I've loved MAC's vast range of eyeshadows - any colour under the sun is pretty much guaranteed to be included in their collection and in variety of finishes to boot! My only real gripe with them is that I find that they tend to crease on my eyelids halfway through the day which is a real problem if you tend to be drawn towards the brighter colours. I was interested in purchasing a primer to help tackle this problem, and before heading into the MAC store I was all prepared to buy MAC's standard primer for eyes - Prep & Prime. But when I got chatting to one of the makeup girls she convinced me that their Paint Pots actually make a wonderful primer, as well as a cream based shadow so essentially you get two for the price of one! According to MAC the Paint Pots are 'highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to...

The Magic of Peter Pan

Advantages: Lots of special features and a great movie
Disadvantages: ....... None really

...Peter Pan 2-Disc Special Edition Adapted from the stage play of Sir James Barrie comes Walt Disney's masterpiece Peter Pan. This timeless classic is sprinkled with the magic of Disney, capturing the essence of Barrie's original screenplay. As a two-disc special edition, the film has been digitally restored with enhanced picture and sound. It is bursting with special features from the Disney archive. Peter Pan was a story that Walt Disney himself held close to his heart, so much so that it took almost two decades putting the finishing touches to the film. With so much effort put into it, there is no surprise that this Disney Classic has remained a prominent favourite for over 50 years. Peter Pan is full of adventure, interesting characters, music, laughs, faith, trust and of course pixie dust! The traditional story of Peter...
