Did anyone buy the Age UK insoles, 4 pairs of which are sold along with a dressing stick? I have been reading reviews of various insoles on Amazon's site and some mention that some makes go flat quickly or that they curl up so that it is difficult to get shoes or slippers on. I am wondering if...

Thanks for your replies Themroc and Mommabear. When I read yours Themroc I thought that I would go ahead with buying one. Then I read your reply Mommabear and changed my mind yet again. What has put me off is the mention of the noise when the bulb went. I thought that when it went it might just...

I have been debating about the halogen oven for about a year now. Yesterday I thought I heard Paul say that the one they were demonstrating had a 2 year guarantee. They seem to sell the same ones under a lot of different item numbers so is it just that particular item number that has the long...

I actually agree with some of the above comments but I did do a lot of research on the food safety angle which reassured me as did the fact that so many reputable shops sell it. I bought it mainly because of the storage angle and also because several of the shapes let me use them in the...

Thanks for your reply Shopping is Fun. It is not actually staining from cooking or baking, it is like a white film. I thought it was just the ones from Ideal World which went like that. I stored them in a Lock & Lock box. I started buying some Technique ones and have had them for a few months...

I have silicone bakeware that I have bought from both QVC and Ideal World. All have turned white even though I am really careful about washing (by hand) and drying them. Does anyone else have this problem or have a suggestion about how to remove it and stop it happening again?

Return by courier Our Hermes lady usually comes to collect the day after we have phoned to arrange the return even though they quote 5-7 working days. In fact the first time I had phoned early morning and she came in the afternoon and it wasn't ready for her.

My CE rotisserie oven blew up when it was out of its year's guarantee and we really miss it. Got nowhere with QVC and no spares available + it would have cost more to repair than what it was worth. Apparently QVC are no longer selling that oven. I looked on QVC.com and they have a new model...

The reviews on QVC.com might be helpful if you haven't already read them.

Thank you very much for that advice. Now that I have read it it sounds familiar (from the Sale of Goods Act?) but I would never have thought of following that angle without you pointing me in that direction. I'll have a look into it tomorrow.

Thanks Loujareth. I'll try phoning CS on Monday but I am not sure they will be able to help as it is well out of guarantee and they have not had them in stock recently. I have had it for over a year and used it constantly so I will really miss it but don't know if it is worth the effort of...

Has anyone had problems with their CE rotisserie oven? I was cooking a large meal yesterday using both my ovens and the CE one went bang - great timing. If this has happened to anyone else was it just an element going and if so are replacements available to buy?

Thanks for that information. Although it is not the same machine it makes interesting reading.

Anyone got any views on today's TSV? The technical specifications say it has resolution: 600 dpi and 300 dpi. The description of the Toshiba Journe scanner that was a previous TSV said it enhances print images to a resolution of 1800 x 1200. I am not sure if these two sets of figures are...

I had a look at the site mentioned by Kathy this morning - czechcooker.com. What is the quality of Total Chef products? They don't sell the cooker on Amazon.com but there are reviews there on other items that are not particularly good. I am tempted by the TSV because of the lid holder.

Did anyone buy this? I have been on the Waitlist for ages but am beginning to wonder if it is not as good as it looked in the demo. Ebay used to have a few of the old Breville or Sunbeam ones but now more and more of the Prolectrix ones are appearing. QVC are apparently the only supplier of...

I do full backups to an external hard drive using Acronis which gives an image of C drive. This means that if I get a virus in the computer I can restore from a date prior to the virus. If the Clickfree automatically does a backup just after the computer has been infected with a virus presumably...

I listened to them saying you can watch movies and TV programmes on it. Presumably these would be transferred from your computer. I need someone to explain to me how and from where you would get these from in the first place and, if you have to buy movies from a site, is it expensive to do that?

I think it was £60 odd plus P&P

Thanks Clemenzina. I had never heard of Open Office but I have looked it up now and it sounds really impressive. The fact that you managed to cut & paste the bit that I couldn't with MS Word shows that it has advantages. Have you been using it for long and have you had any problems with it...
