    I just said stains remained on my clothes after washing and I thought the old one left my clothes cleaner. I've only just sent it off though, so I don't know if they will accept what I've said!

    That's all I said too - it didn't remove a stain I thought it should have.

    Venus razor TMF still not received. I did write the reply on a piece of paper as I didn't have any ink. :/ surely that can't have made a difference? It was £11.99 which is too much to not get my money back (even though I did get a T PP for it ;) )
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I'm still struggling to claim my Eukanuba 15kg. I've tried in both IE and Chrome but it says my barcode is invalid. Has anyone had any luck inputting their claim?

    :o

    Call me stupid (please don't :o) but I'm not sure what to do with the Douwe Egberts coffee. The coffee, not the MBG! I don't drink coffee but my OH does and he's not fussy, he has the cheapest instant coffee available, so that's all I've ever dealt with. So, if I bought the ground coffee, can I just use it like instant coffee or do I need a cafetiere?

    Yours sheepishly...

    You need a cafetiere as it is coarser than instant. Or you could grind it down to make it finer although I have never tried this & not sure whether instant coffee is actually produced in a different way so that it dissolves. Perhaps someone on here is involved in the trade and knows the definitive answer.


    If you start making "proper" coffee you might find your OH prefers it and then your food bill will rise!!

    Put the ground coffee in a jug and add boiling water. After five minutes, stir well and pour through tea strainer into cup. Can warm the jug first with hot water. Add boiling water to cup if its not hot enough.

    Alternatively, use a piece of kitchen paper to make filter coffee. Line a clean funnel with a piece of kitchen paper folded diagonally and rest over a jug or cup. Put the ground coffee into the paper (the triangle part that's now a bit like a bag,) and pour boiling water in to cover the coffee only. After a minute, add more boiling water.
