Does anyone remember what the bicarb mixture for cleaning the oven door was yesterday on superscrimpers?

Sorry haven't watched it yet - hoping to watch it later - if no one has answered I will let you know when i have watched it

I forgot it's on 4OD, will go look now. I tried goggling but only came across a MSE thread of "frugal" people moaning and having a good b1tch about the show. If I was a new MSEer I'd have been really put off by them.

O...M...G ... QVC are currently showing the Kitchenaid on TSV with 3 easy payments. How can I factor this into my 2nd purse challenge being that the balance in my purse is currently £17??? Not fair.....:(

I think she just added a very small amount of water to some bicarb, so that the mixture did not run all over the place and was like a paste.

B1tch from the other thread, reporting for duty

Use an eggcup or so of bicarb and mix enough water to make it like mayonnaise so that it sticks to the vertical surface without running off too much. Leave on for 20 mins or so and then just wipe off.

Once that's failed, try using a cheap cream cleaner, scrub off with hot water, a washing up sponge and lenty of elbow grease.

And vow never to let it get that bad again, like wot I did. :whistle:

Ooh sorry I didn't mean to call anyone a b1tch
I'm going to go and give it a go, my HM normally does the cleaning and she's out until tomorrow afternoon. She'll be impressed if we can see inside our oven again, and I'll be impressed if I can do it with bicarb. I have citric acid too, maybe a mix of both might work.

Or.......just give it a wipe with a damp rag. Save the bicarb and citric acid, mix it with icing sugar and sit down with a bowl of yummy sherbert

Note to self: that is how your oven got into that state in the first place milady.....

Well done elizabuny - your 3rd purse is doing so well!! :T

What is your system for getting money into the 3rd purse?

I am happy with the way 1st and 2nd purses are going but I cannot see me getting anything into my 3rd!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thinking maybe I will tweak my system based on what some other people are doing......

Anyone like to share their system for 3rd purse???

This is what I do. If I buy something from my second purse, maybe a bulk buy of T rolls, I write down the price I should have paid for them. So maybe I paid £2.90 but they should have been £5.80. When I start to use the T Rolls I transfer money from Grocery Challenge (just as if I was buying from a normal shop) So £5.80 out of the Grocery Challenge =£2.90 back into the second purse and £2.90 straight into my third purse.

I don't know if this is right but it works for me:)

I have avoided looking as I am determined not to buy until I have saved for one - does it look good?

It looked good but they only did the white.......they never seem to have a choice on QVC.

Yesterday I read a couple of posts somewhere about people getting a good Kitchen Aid buy.....I'll go and see if I can find it again for you.
