I do love my instant pot tbf, I guess we'll see how much use I get!

Yes I think I'd like one of those eventually but plenty of time to play with these!

Ooh don't, they're so heavy!

Oh my goodness, I nipped into Waitrose for a few bits last week and saw a woman zapping her shopping into a full trolley full of their brother orange bags. What a flex 😂

No I know what you mean, part of why I wanted them - I am using very old things that needed replacing anyway and any good quality bits are pricy. Not this pricy, but when you think you'd spend £70 on say John Lewis own brand and likely never have to replace these 🤷

I do love a lovely thing and I had had some money saved up for them but I also love not paying out money I don't have to (you can take the girl out of Lancashire, etc etc)

Yes! It's the teal - i love the cerise but you kind of had to get what they had and I have always fancied having a colourful collection.

I am so pleased with it, especially as it was 60 percent off. My sister went to this show thing to help her very pregnant friend and took a list for me and managed to find these bits - I've wanted some for years but it's so expensive at full price. But obviously she couldn't post it from Harrogate!

Skillet what I did the spices in!

Tagine!

*By which I mean my parents are visiting and have brought it to me after my sister got it at that fancy event they had in the Yorkshire Showground for not full price but still a lot of money.

It was not great, though slightly hilarious watching his determined little crawl. Luckily I twigged and moved her before he really chomped down.

He tried to go hard but I managed to move her at the last second. He's got new teeth coming I think because he's gone very bitey, she was not the first victim today, but he was really cross about not getting the attention.

@samanthalf.bsky.social do make sure they have a safety clasp that will break open under pressure though (much like with a cat's collar).

Oh yes!! This one does, I suppose I assumed all of them do because my work ones do as well. Definitely definitely a toy for supervising.

SUPERSTAR!!!

I probably will come before Christmas, likely a Thursday - the baby likes trains and I like doing Stuff!

I actually think my niece would love that - she's going to the moon. I'm extremely sure that it will happen, she's the same age and very determined, she might climb there if left unattended.

I was just thinking that. Excellent advertising that man!
