This is very sad....I was washing up after dinner and realised that my best buy was a set of pans...how sad is that ???? Over 15 years ago I invested in a set of Prestige 'Lifetime' pans (I bought them from a friend's catalogue and she couldn't believe I was paying almost 100.00 pounds for them) and so far they are living up to their name...not a mark...still shiny...my pride and joy....does anyone else have a 'best buy....anyone as sad as me???? |

ive thought about it and i have had to replace everything over last 18 years , ive had 6 cookers 4 hoovers, 3 washing machines, 3 fridge freezers and those were only over 12 years as army gave us fridges, in fact they had to replace 2 cookers as one fell apart it was so old and the other just gave up, and the third they decided to change from gas to electric |

When me and my first hubby first set up home together, in 1975. A chap came to the door selling his wares. I could not afford much of his stuff so paid £5 for a carving knife. He promised it would last ten years. One side for carving meat and one for cutting frozen foods. I never believed it would work. Twenty nine years on I am still using it. It still cuts through a medium sized piece of frozen meat. You have just made me think of a new thread to put up. Keep em peeled. Jenny |
