A dish

Advantages: good long lasting
Disadvantages: none

...Come into the kitchen I just have to wash my dishes, Well casserole dishes round Pyrex casserole dishes really. These dishes wash well; I just need some hot soapy water. I could use the dishwasher if I had one. I have a lot of Pyrex casserole dishes, this large 3.5 litre one was a wedding present. (33 years now you know.)They make an even bigger one at 4.5 litres; I do not own one of them. I have three 2.5 litre dishes .I think one was my old mums I rescued this from her kitchen when we cleared out the house after her death. I also have one 2 litre dish. Ohh look I have a smaller 1.5 lire casserole dish too, yes that's Pyrex the word Pyrex is in the glass at the bottom of the dish. Ahh hers a really small casserole dish0.5 litres. Think that came from mum too. Pyrex casserole dishes come in many sizes graded in ½ litres. These Pyrex...

Review of Pyrex Casserole Dish

Use your loaf ......... dish

Advantages: good dish
Disadvantages: none

...Good old Pyrex make a loaf dish this is a very useful loaf shaped dish The end walls have a small lip which makes it easy to lift in and out of the oven. This loaf dish comes in a variety of sizes mine is 30cm. I find this dish useful for making many loaf shaped dishes, I use it for tea bread, banana cake, ginger bread, meat loaf and a variety of other dishes too. I find Pyrex dishes good material l as it is non- porous, flavours and smells do not linger after washing. To wash it up either do it manually or use the dish washer. It cleans well. Pyrex dishes last ages and ages still looking in fair condition. If you drop this Pyrex loaf dish it probably will not break it wills if thrown with force against a stone floor, but I have dropped Pyrex several times and it has not broken. This glass dish is made of borosilicate...

An Amber Gem Full Of Nostalgia! (Pears Soap)

Advantages: Cleans beautifully and smells fresh and clean.
Disadvantages: None

...Memories are what make me buy this soap from time to time. Happy ones when I first met my husband in 1978; his mum always used this soap, and when I went to stay at his house I will always remember this sturdy chunk of nostalgia perched on the side of the bath in its little dish. My husband (boyfriend then) and I were separated for a while after that, while we did our relative university courses, but we each took some Pears Soap with us, -somehow the scent of this unusual soap transports me back to those days instantly. Every now and then I buy a box from Boots. It is cheap -only 69p and for this you get a relic from times gone by, in more ways that one, because it really has been on our shelves for centuries. In fact it was first made and sold by Andrew Pears in 1789 at a factory just off Oxford Street in London. It is the world...

Fruity Soap

Advantages: Sweet fragrance and creamy lather
Disadvantages: Fruity bits get everywhere

...Lush is an eco friendly company that does not test any of their ingredients or finished products on fluffy bunny rabbits or any other animals for that matter. All Lush products are suitable for vegetarians. Carnivores can also use them without any adverse side affects. It is good to know that Lush products are no longer made with palm oil. This has been replaced by an alternative oil base. The 'Sultana of Soap' is described on the website as "the creamy fruity Rococo one" and is pale yellow or white in appearance with dark bits. This Lush soap bulges with chopped apricots, dried cranberries, and currants. Like many Lush soaps it looks good enough to eat and as the manufacturers say this soap "looks like a big cake of tasty Italian nougat" (as such I always advise to keep them away from young kids). However, you might find the amount...

Simply Great Soap

Advantages: non drying, natural ingredient based soap
Disadvantages: not moisturising though non drying, stings if gets in eyes so careful use is advised

...basically inoculated against the germ killer, and breed more bugs that are too. So using the slippery method to simply remove the nasties is much safer over all anyway. They then go down the drain, on to the water treatment plant, and most are killed by sunlight along the way anyway in a natural cycle. ~~~Simple Soap~~~ Simple is a plain soap made with natural ingredients and is free of perfumes and dyes. This means there are no detergents added to make it foam or lather up, nor is it overly drying, nor does it contain things that may aggravate sensitive skin. It is one of the few soaps that my daughter with eczema can use, and so we have it on a soap dish by the sink for us all to wash our hands. This is actually the sort of gentle, old fashioned soap that soap flakes are made out of, so you can also cut it up, place in a blender, and have...

Inside Soap Magazine

Advantages: All the plots in advance, must read!
Disadvantages: Some people don't like the spoilers, too many adverts

...Inside Soap Magazine is an absolute must for any soap fan! It gives you all the information you could need on upcoming plots that you just can't wait till it's aired to find out about. It's also great if you're going away or unable to watch the shows, so you can still catch up on everything that has happened. Inside Soap has all the plots and a 7 day TV guide a week in advance, which can be annoying that you have to keep the previous weeks magazine for the TV guide. The magazine is quite pricey at £1.30 and is a weekly magazine, which comes out every Tuesday. It can be purchased at most newsagents. The magazine always contains a letter from the editor, currently Steven Murphy; soap star style, which contains a picture of a soap star on an event wearing a great outfit, and providing a cheaper version and where you can buy it...

Soap..Soap..Soap!!!

Advantages: 20% Shea Butter, beautifully moisturising
Disadvantages: er...errr...maybe a little expensive

...There I was on one lazy Sunday afternoon flicking through the channels. Carefully not over doing it or straining my finger..I paused on that lovely tackorama channel QVC. Well there were these two grown women..literally orgasming over this small tablet of soap. I was'nt really taking much notice until they stated that it was made with 20% Shea Butter. Now I have used the Body Shops' Shea Butter moisturiser, and really liked it. And having really dry skin, I am constantly looking for something that will put a bit of moisture back into it and get rid of that tight feeling. They were selling them in packs..but I did'nt want a pack of them..I just wanted to try one.So Off I popped to good old Ebay, and found about seven hundred L'Occitane products. It was'nt long before my soap plopped through the door and onto my door mat. And I could...

A soap full of surprises

Advantages: Smells nice, good on sensitive skin
Disadvantages: looks boring

...I didn't actually buy Milky Bar soap, I received a small piece as a sample absolutely ages ago when having a bit of a splurge in Lush. This is not a soap I would have chosen for myself, nor is it one that I was particularly eager to try - hence why it has sat in a drawer for months on end! For me, if I'm going to pay the sort of prices Lush charge for a soap, then I want something special from it. Ideally I'd like it to smell amazing, and if it looks good or has some sort of quirkiness about it as many of the Lush soaps do, all the better. When looking at this soap in the shop, I felt it had neither of these things. The smell seemed subtle to non-existent (something it seems was probably due to all the other heady scents floating around the Lush shop, but more on the scent later) and the appearance was very dull. I think the best way...

Soap Me Up!

Advantages: Cleans and is Very Cheap
Disadvantages: Not great smelling

...Tesco Value Soap.......... This is not a product that I would usually buy but with things being to tight at the moment I thought I might as well give it a try. I am not too sure what my partner does with the soap as it seems to go down rather rapidly and we go through tons of the stuff. Up until now I have been buying Dove gentle soap but because I have all my lotions and potions for my face I never use soap on my face which is why I wasn't too fussed about trying this stuff. For three bars of large soap, you pay a meagre 17 pence! This is a total bargain compared to the price of a bar of Dove soap, which is nearer to a pound for just one bar! Of course you are not paying for the packaging as the three bars comes in a clear cellophane wrapper with the usual Tesco Value stripe across it and not much else. It gives ingredients list...

Inside Soap

Advantages: Full of soap gossip
Disadvantages: Quite a few adverts

...In my opinion this is the best soap magazine currently available. The cover is enough to draw you into the world of soap as it is covered with great little snippets of stories from the soaps and just asks to be read from cover to cover. Upon opening the cover we have a great contents page which tells you all you need to know to find the stories. The magazine is full of inside scoop about the current weeks adventures in each and every soap and gives a great view to the plot lines with interviews and words from the cast members included in each story. We have a very handy glance at each soap and what happens in each episode, so if you unfortunately miss an episode you can easily catch up. There is usually a great feature to be found each week giving information and an interview with a soap character and the actor behind it. This is...
