Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

What I really loved was condensed milk in a tin mmmmm.

Note' loved' don't have it anymore

Tinned Rice Pudding...love it hot or cold!
Corned Beef for Hash and sandwiches withBranston!
Pilchards for toast!

If only you knew

No Gracie, you are a Laydee!

Sudden thought - am I an undesirable?

Various tins, tomatoes, lentils, kidney beans, other assorted beans, sweet corn, mushy peas (I love mushy peas).

A Dyson rechargeable and a Miele cat and dog

My MIL's idea of a special meal was tinned ham with tinned new potatoes and tinned peas - yuk!

Oh yes nanabilly, every Christmas my mother had to have a tin of "Ye Olde Oak Ham". I never remember it being anything special though.

We have loads of cans in our cupboard. Tomatoes, soup, sardines, beans (baked and other types) chick peas, green lentils, coconut milk. I could go on. I wouldn't get by without them.

As for vacuum cleaners, mine is a Bosch cylinder cleaner.

I don't use tins much except for baked beans to keep one of my GC particularly happy. I do have some tins eg custard 'just in case' but I keep forgetting they're there!!!

Oh, I forgot small tins of sweetcorn, which go in my version of smoked haddock chowder.

Tins of beans, baked and kidney (for chilli), tuna, salmon (both for easy meals with pasta), an occasional Fray Bentos pie, for when I CBA to cook, small tin of corned beef, for a hash with fried onions, potatoes and cabbage, tins of Campbell's condensed mushroom soup, for the tuna/pasta dish. Little else. I don't buy tins of soup since 'dustbin soup' (my mother's expression for using up whatever you have) is a regular in this house in autumn/winter - always with lots of veggies.

As for vacuums, I have a big Dyson and a cordless ditto, and like a previous poster have hardly used the big one since I got the cordless. Though I do also have an old fashioned carpet sweeper, which is brilliant for just a few bits on the carpet.

I am so glad this isn't yet another discussion on vaccuum cleaners.

Just saying.

Now we are only 2 of us I like the mini-tins of peas or sweet corn which are useful in anything really - tonight I used a tiny tin of sweet corn to augment the shrimp curry I was making. A small tin of peas might go in a stew or even a potato salad. Otherwise, I don't have many tins in the cupboard. They're not quite as popular here in Germany.

How could I have forgotten the big ish tins of ham! Always bought one at Christmas, just in case. The cats loved the jelly round the ham.

By the way, I thought my small Dyson was the bees knees until we bought our Gtech a couple of months ago, that wins hands down.

(Good idea having an unrelated thread title, keeps out any undesirables!)

I love my Miele vacuum.

In the good old days I can remember my parents pantry having tinned ham. A fruit cake with whisky .spam. Condensed milk .carnations milk. must have been the leftovers of a Christmas hamper.

That's it I think.

I have 2 Dyson's. One full sized that's too bloomin' heavy and one lightweight cordless that I love.

I have a store cupboard full of tins.

PS. I use a Henry

Tinned tomatoes, spaghetti, beans, red kidney beans, butter beans. Tuna, salmon and crabmeat. Couple different fruits and always a can of pineapple for sweet and sour sauce. Coconut milk for curries.
OH likes creamed rice and I keep a tin of custard just in case I don't have milk to make some.

tins of tuna,tomatoes,sweetcorn,cornedbeef tinned salmon , tins of beans kidney cannelini,black eyed,etc all great and quick.My OH used to like tinned potatoes for potato salad ,how his mother made it I usually have a fair selection of tins

Think GNHQ will be able to change your thread title for you blackmint but not sure how you ask them.

We use tinned toms and sweet corn and DH likes baked beans. Also keep a couple of tins of curry in the cupboard for a quick meal with microwave rice when stuck. I had no idea you can buy tinned chopped onions, are they a similar price to the frozen ones?
