  • I'm totally new to this site so a little unsure how to ask questions but as the xbox 360 wireless adaptor ranges between £35-50 is there any cheaper solution you can use like a belkin wireless adaptor £17 or a wireless adaptor dongle that costs around £10 or aren't they compatible ???

    Hi all,

    I saw an advert on the box recently that was for a chip fryer which is not a deep-fat-fryer.

    Instead you put your chips in it, poured a small amount of oil over them and left it to cook you some perfect chips.

    I can't remember for the life of me what it was actually called, nor who made it - and I haven't seen the advert since.

    Does anybody know the one I mean, please?

    it's a Tefal - actifry.

    Currys are advertising it at the moment - but i would still shop round it may be cheaper else where.

    a woman in the office has one, and thinks it's great...

    That's the one! Thanks :)

    Ye gods - the price! I hadn't really thought they'd be more than around thirty to forty quid! Oh well, time to talk to the Christmas fairies :)

    given that I have a £10 Argos voucher nets out at my best price found so far. (£117 to me... £127 listed)

    also i think that of you spend over £100 there at the moment they give you another £10 voucher...

    Yes, at least they don't seem to say anywhere that there's a limit on how many you can earn.

    But that's a heck of a lot of money just to fry chips. OK, I'm not in the market for a deep fat fryer - but if I was, Argos do their own model for a mere £13.99; and with my voucher that nets out at not a lot!

    :D I need help/tips on 2 things.

    I left a tablecloth in the washing machine for too long and when I remembered to wash it, some mould grew on it (:o). Whats the best way of removing them? It has to come off because it's an expensive proper one. :o

    Bought a load of chestnuts, boiled them and tried peeling them but it's taking ages and they keep breaking up. Anyone got any tips?

    Thanks all :cool:
