    I've stopped keeping things for best tweets......well apart from knickers:D

    I use my best glasses all the time and crockery and stuff. I burn candles rather than storing them too. I used to store away perfumes and body lotions but just slap them on now.
    Sometimes life is too short:o:)

    So when is best for your knickers :D

I am very very tempted so would be really interested to hear what you think of it. Do you mind saying where you have bought it from? It seems to be approx £99ish most places, but some places it comes with some free accessories. I think I would have to buy from Selfridges, as I have vouchers I could use, unless it was a lot cheaper elsewhere. TIA


    EDIT: OMG have just seen on HUKD it is reduced to £79. I need it!!!






    Hinari Genie 8 in 1, Asda £20

    I bought this for my DD a few months ago after she raved about it when at friends house and they made fruit smoothies.

    She said I had to get one as it would be well used and so 'worth the money', of course the one she was referring to was the bullet.

    I saw this 1 and thought I'll get this in-case it's another gadget to sit in a cupboard and get forgot about.

    Her friend asked me last week where she could get one after both she and my dd had spent the afternoon with fruit and veg experimenting with new ideas for smoothies and juice drinks. When I answered Asda £20 my DD said 'tell her the truth, how expensive it was':rotfl::rotfl:
    no, that is the correct price...£20:D

    Now,:rotfl: all her friend are buying them

    You could buy this and give it a try. If you don't think it's good enough...return it!!!

    Have just checked on A's groceries and it's now 29.96

    The Hinari is only 230W & the Nutribullet is 600W. According to reviews on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hinari-MB280-Genie-Multi-Attachment-Blender/dp/B000GG4MCU it doesn't do anything 'hard' well at all. It's the veggies I want to liquidize more than the fruit - which every blender should do easily. That's why I've been debating with myself (& hubby of course :)) on whether to buy. I'm sure we'll use & now some others have bought we can swap recipes too.
    I'm fancying carrot, kale, apple and beetroot with flax (or exactly the same cheaper version, good old linseed)- have NO idea why?

    One of the friends I was out with last night, English isn't her first language, and though she speaks excellent English, she sometimes writes down English words phonetically; she wrote this one down, and I had to get her to explain it to me...

    I bought it for £79.99 AND it comes complete with the expensive book AND £30 worth of superfood - suggested retail of £159.99.
    As I hadn't seen it cheaper anywhere, especially not with the 'superfoods' (Maca, Spirulana & Wheatgrass) & have been looking for a while I jumped. Heck I didn't put it on HUKD & it wasn't on there before I purchased. I was saving it for you lot until I tested.
    Here's a linky - NOTE you won't get 8% from Quidco as they specifically exclude the Nutribullet.

    Thanks, looks like it is another version of High Street Shop, even most of the Amazon ones come from the same source.
    Looking forward to trying it out, thanks for jogging my memory about them, I have been monitoring prices too. :)
    Now all I have to do is tell DH what I have ordered :rotfl:
    I resisted the half price maxi dresses at Debenhams, so it has already almost paid for itself :A:A:A

    Edit: I agree, I want it for the hard veggies too :)
