Oldstylers: Could I be your greatest ever challenge?

kitschy

Hey

I got my cutlery from Matalan. And before you roll your eyes at having to venture into a shop - it is a Viners set and cost me £18 for 6 place settings. I am really fussy about the weight of cutlery (like a hefty knife) and it's lovely. I've had some plasticky handled ones before but they either broke or went funny in the wash.

I'm sure I'm waaaaay too late to this thread but hello SS! When I moved out of home (aged 19, back in 1995) I had all borrowed/given stuff - and it was fine!

I had:
one big saucepan
one small one
a frying pan
a wooden spoon
a spatula
cutlery
some mismatched plates
two big old knives
a carving fork a chopping board
a baking tray

and that was it! And to be honest, I don;t have much more now!

Don;t buy loads of stuff yet. Get a few basics and see how it goes, You will soon work out what YOu need for the things you cook.

And for honewares, please don;t spend on expensive TVs and stuff when you owe 8k and still have two years to go to be debt-free. It is better to scrimp now and bring that date forward than have to push it back cos you got carried away.

Freecycle is great, as is seeing what friends and family want to offload. I was given all kinds of things like a coffee perculator and a deep fat fryer - just ask of people have anything they don;t want.

Nets aren't very 'bachelor' though are they? :undecided

Oh I think they are (and that isn't the wife in me).

I am sure the laydeez would be very impressed with you having nets!

Just think when they get down to their bikinis it will be all for you and not the blokes perving through the windows as well...:p

Just a thought.....

I have been with my OH for 2 yrs and I always thought he was a bit odd for having nets (not helped by the fact they were a bit flowery).

I am still with him but I found the fact that he was a twentysomething man living on his own with nets strange - it felt a little bit too much like his mum might have told him to do it (and she had but then she is something of a force to be reckoned with - I think he is a masochist, stuck between me and her - lol).

He still has nets in the front now but they are plain ones - although he doesn't understand that:

lights on + nets = might as well not have nets

but then he never did.
