Let me explain. I need a new measuring jug. The measures have been washed off my glass ones and my plastic one is not easy to read. They're cheap yet I have been struggling for about 2 years and never really sure I've measured correctly meaning some failed bread and the odd annoyance most days. Why haven't o bought one? I fear it's symptomatic of other flaws
Tell me yours and make me feel less of a weirdo

Ironing board covers. Mine is ancient and hideous but I really resent the price of them.

@Etinox and anyone else faffing with garlic presses, look into getting a GarlicTwist - they're about £20 from the proper site and are my favourite kitchen gadget, easy to clean too and you can grate sliced ginger in them as well :)
I bought a few of my friends one during lockdown as a random present!

My ipod is held together with tape rather than paying to stream music via my phone.
iPods are still cool, keep it!

Ive just made a pie which reminded me Ive been wanting one of those old tin pie dishes(like a plate really) what granny used to use and also an old fashioned bristle pastry brush instead of my rubbish silicone one which I can't get away with at all.

A phone charger, and small adhesive hook thing for the tea towels. So bored of buying faffy stuff that keeps breaking.

A new ironing board cover.
Had been ironing on an old sheet and blanket for years.

New kitchen hand towels.

Had been managing with some that were 16 odd years old.

This thread inspired me to buy TWO new ones. It's a delight .!

My two year old commented on the fact the peg carrier was broken today so I finally went onto Amazon and bought one.

stillsleeptraining when you do decide to buy a new bowl (took me about 4 years...) I really recommend Lakeland's deep metal one -totally brilliant
