Oh No!!!

[kati]

I was just making myself some vanilla coffee (yum) and my blender fell apart (literally)

how am I going to make my yummy lump free meals now? i can't afford to buy another blender, I have literally £20 to feed my kids for the next 2 weeks I can't use any of that money for a blender instead

 

[kati]

ew and now I have bits of plastic in my coffee.

Whats plastic like for its carb content? lol

I need a sieve!

Oh honey sorry to hear that. My blender was only £5 from tesco and it's brill.....

Understand that's a quarter of your money though!!!! Can't you borrow a fiver or a blender from a friend or relative?

 

[kazz]

oh no!! do you have one of those icky hand whisks you can use? Can you borrow one from your mum?

 

[kati]

thanks ladies. I might just have to plead poverty and ask my mam to lend me more money for food and sneak a cheap blender in the trolley too.

The one I had was only a fiver from asda, was rubbish though

 

[kati]

oh and yes I have a hand whisk but they dont get the lumps out properly.

Maybe I'll get to like the chewy bits

 

[Karen1972]

The tesco one is good!!!! i bought a more expensive one after my first few months but ended up going back to the tesco one....

 

[kati]

Ooooh actually I only bought it in september. I wonder if I might be able to find the receipt and they might replace it for me

 

[kazz]

Yes, bring it back.....even if you havent got a receipt they may still change it, depending on the shop

 

[kati]

I could try it. Dont have the box any more though I dont think. I'm useless at keeping things like receipts and boxes

If all else fails hun, those little latte hand whisks in tescos are not all that bad and only a couple of quid.

I use one at work as it's discreet and fits in my bag

Hope you get sorted out tommorow....

 

[kazz]

Did you buy it from a big chain store? If you paid on a card you could use your statement as proof of purchase...

 

[kati]

Thanks Isis. I have one of those actually, I've never tried using it yet though.

 

[kati]

I bought it from asda. I can't remember if I used cash or my debit card (dont have credit cards)

Hi ya,

I love the lumpy bits in the shakes. I dont use a blender anymore as I dont want to lose the lumps.

Nick

 

[kati]

lol well maybe I'll grow to love them too Nick

 

[kazz]

No!! lumpy bits are minging!!

Kati... have you tried Freecycle... I bet you'd get one very quickly there!!

The Freecycle Network(tm) - Changing the world, one gift at a time.

I have given away probably about 40-50 items (including two enormous bags of clothes today) and received many too (including a magimix blender), it's great.

another idea...when I cant be arsed to use the blender (the noise annoys me!)
I tend to get a small amount of cold water and probably half a pack and keep stirring with a spoon. Then add some more water and rest of pack. I get it slightly pasty. Then I add hot water (I have my shakes hot) to top it up and keep stirring. This generally works!
