Dee, I have one of those too! Mine is on a shelf in my wardrobe full of odd bits of old toys and games so that when I might one day find the original, I've got the missing bits! LOL I also had the round one with a plastic spike to push in the bottom of the lettuce to keep it crisp. Did they ever really work? Sue xx |

About 12 years ago my neighbour had a TP party. I bought a jug with lid...think it was part of their microwave range and I can honestly say I have used it everyday since! Was expensive but worth every penny, so much so that I bought another. In Paris there is adepartment store called BHV and you can buy Tupperware there. Jen |

Babs Is that the spikey bowl or the 'box'? My most used items I think are loads of 'square rounds'..... really useful for storing different sugars, dried fruit etc. One of the sugar containers is in daily use too.... the sort with a central push-in button to make a good seal....Again very good because I can't abide gritty sugar getting tipped in the cupboard.

I have a variety of sizes of the boxes with the hinged lids. Very handy and I use them all the time. Also the green plastic beakers and the coloured beakers with the handles. About 10 years old I think. The plastic beakers are used non stop and they are just like new. |

Ruth That sounds very superior and 'upmarket' to my old items. Gwyn |

Lynda, you can see it all online, poss go into the .fr site. Last party ,we all helped to make a choccy cake and and onion tart, when cooked we all tucked in :)))) Do use and buy their storage stackers for flour, sugar and the rest . The good thing is I know someone who does it so wait until the free pressie is a good one then place an order. Please dont think I am sad:))) but living in the country I like to keep stuff safe incase of mice, touch wood not a problem, but you never know; XX Jill |

Jill I quite understand....... My collection increased no end when I lived in Cyprus. The chance of a cockroach getting in with the cornflakes was not going to happen in MY kitchen. Gwyn |

I've also got the green salad crisper + spike - in fact I think I've got two. Use mine all the time - brilliant! Their UK headquarters offices were nearby here, and I used to do quite a lot of freelance work for their annual seminars which were held all over Europe and America. |

tupperware, even the queen has it on her breakfast table, don't you know. I have a tray which holds a water feeder, dry food feeder and bowl, for feeding cats. I have used it every day (the cat is now sixteen) paid quite a bit for it at the time. It has been well used. Joy |
