    I have tefal ones and I like them, I got a set years ago and put it under my bed when they were on sale, which included a roaster, two pots and two frying pans. This looks like a pretty good set to me https://shop.tefal.co.uk/tefal-essential-5pc-set-b372s544-black but I haven't looked around too much.

    They look fab!! I'll add them to my list. Asked the BF to check his work today for any bargain sets . He works in Dunelm. We'll see if he remembers  :D 

    Thanks very much!

    Wow a bf working in dunelm! I’d be on his staff discount every week lol! 

    I’ve just got a mix of cheap and hand me downs I’ve collected over the years. I can’t wait to get a new kitchen and then my dream has always been to get the posh stuff from John Lewis lol! Sad dreams I have 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 xx

    I know! That's where I met him  :D 

    Went in for curtains and came out with a BF. 

    Oh John Lewis is amazing! I'd love a kitchen full of Le Creuset stuff but that will probably never happen!

    Hang on, woah woah woah. You went into a shop and came out with a boyfriend? 

    .. I need to go shopping more. 

    I also wonder around John Lewis (in pre-covid times) imagining all the pretty things in my flat. So if you guys are sad for it, so am I!

    Well yes and no. 

    We didn't seal the deal right there and then but it sparked a wee fire and all went from there. 

    Haha Dunelm is the new Tinder.

    Le Creuset is very heavy.
    I had a lovely blue set & got rid as it they so heavy when they had water in.

    Chuckling at all you JL fans. I never shopped there but hubby started working for the other part of the partnership, so now we get discount and I love all their stuff! Some is still out of my reach, but curtains, pans, towels and bedding, I am all over it 😂
