It was only ever a tip to use up leftover cola/coke so that you didn't throw it away <--- that was the moneysaving bit, not wasting your cola/coke :rolleyes:

Quasar ... :rotfl: no self control

Thats what I did and it left it lovely and stained. I ended up with my hand down the loo. That was a pleasant morning. :rotfl:

Tish, it's the colourants used in the drink - awful stuff! Don't even buy it in our house

Slow cooker & breadmaker - cannot get on with either of them. However, having a breadmaker set me on the path of making my own by hand so I musn't complain too much....:D

I do most of the old style stuff as I have the time now I am at home! Love my breadmaker, slowcooker, sprouting seeds etc but cannot get on with using vinegar in the washing machine, much prefer the lovely smell of fabric conditioner. I use the vinegar to clean out the gunky draw though!

I bought a yoghurt maker after reading a big thread on it, the easy yo one, made a couple of yoghurts, everyone hated it! why do i even bother, never used it again!

Oh Queenie please don't tell me you buy ready made pastry..:eek:

I started a thread like this a while ago and I made a bet with myself which I would now have to follow through.

I have tried with Flylady but am the world's laziest person and simply can't get myself organised to do a single babystep every day. I take a big giant monster step about once every four or five weeks instead...

I must admit I like the vinegar in the washing machine thingy, though the soapnuts I bought don't really appeal to me. They have done quite a few washes, but for some reason I don't think they are washing anything even though things aren't dirty after coming out of the machine - think it must be a psychological block of some sort there.

Quasar, like you I'm not good at making my own lunches and making them last until lunchtime. It's not so bad now as I work on a supermarket till so can't whip out my sandwiches when I feel like it, but invariably I'll have a nibble during my morning teabreak.

HariboJunkie, hope you enjoy your meal....

"It's funny how for a lot of us life is just to short to make pastry. Well that and the fact that when I make it it's inedible.:o

"However..... If Queenie comes on here and tells me she buys ready made pastry I'll eat my microfibre cloths. "

Quoted from HariboJunkie's other thread cos I'd hate to think anybody would miss it...

i don't like buying cheap jam, coffee or bread. i've tried cheaper versions but really don't like them so i don't buy them. i'd save money but would be miserable drinking my yukky coffee and jammy toast.
