I was really disappointed after all the glowing reports I'd read on here

Have to agree on this one as well - I now either plain roast it or pot roast in a le Creuset casserole - there's well done and there's totally overdone!

Slow cooker too. Don't think it's much use if you're veggie...and I realised that it doesn't really suit my lifestyle either...

Did anyone try the Soap Nuts. I did and my washing never looked clean no matter how many of the things I used.

I tried them and found them to be useless. We tried them with lightly soiled clothes and heavily soiled cycling kit and they didn't clean them very well at all. I didn't actually find them to be cheaper than shop-bought detergents either, but at least I gave them a go :rolleyes:

I didn't like the soap nuts either. Mr L said he kept finding 'bits of wood' in his socks!

Another vote for the slow cooker from me. Isn't great for veggie food and my husband who's a big meat eater doesn't much like it either.

I can't get on with the slow cooker either. I bought mine before I joined this sight though so I don't blame anyone here

I also couldn't get on with my breadmaker -I find it quicker and more convenient to handbake 4 loaves at a time. Again, I bought and ditched the BM long before discovering this site.

Menu planning doesn't really work for me either because I constantly change my mind.

My yogurt maker is brill though

Love my MF cloths and my SC

cant get on with vinegar in my kettle just does not do anything but love it in my washing machine.

Stardrops i use far more than it says not the fab product i was expecting though is ok for some things

soap nuts here, too. I don't mind wash balls for very light washing but had to go back to my normal soap powder.
I did try the washing powder, soda crystals and dear washing powder mix but it wasn't giving me a thorough wash. Really wanted that one to work, too.
