Anyone who lives around Floreat, the bookshop at the forum is closing down and all books are at least 20% off. Some up to 50%.

They sound to be good Uni, and that has certainly cleaned up with only just water.  It would be good if they last that long as well.

Well it ended up being a tupperware, enjo & card party, so spent heaps, oops ;D

Yvette, they seem sturdy, cook, freeze & microwave.

But you know what I am going to say is a pc is better value ;D

Oh Hally what did you buy?

The main reason I like the look of the ultra pro was I usually like to cook up meals in advance, I will say cook butter chicken and then have it the next day as the flavours are always better. I though with the tupperware I could make up several dishes and freeze some, a lot of my casserole dishes are big and sturdy. I like to freeze the whole meal together and I always use 1 kilo of chicken or meat.

Great shopping Hally .........

DH and I are supposed to be trying to save money to pay off our renovations, so I have started to have parcels delivered to my work instead of to home ..... less questions that way  ;)  ;)  Mind you, I think the security guys on the front desk have noticed an increase in the couriers coming through the doors  ;D ;D

I have also bought some of Helenes scrubbers, some of the cute little measuring spoons mentioned previously on this thread, a yoghurt cheese strainer recommended by andisenji, an olive oil spray mister (to use instead of aerosol cans of oil) ....... now come to think of it, everything I have purchased has been seen on this thread before!
