I've been sorting a draw out in the kitchen, full of those must have, but never used gadgets.
I was thinking.......'Whats the most useless gadget you've ever owned'????..
As far as I can see, a 'thingy' that cuts cucumber into long 'swirly' bits.....

The pot to wee in that my OH so lovingly bought for me. I cant use it cos my flexibility is so bad . It makes more probs for me than without it!
You blokes wouldnt have a problem with it though.

Not really a gadget though....
What about Ipods! Promise so much and deliver so little. I managed to get one load of songs on and never been able to repeat how to load more tracks on.Thats a gadget i hardly ever use now.

I've got a juicer, and it works fine, but cleaning it out afterwards is such a nightmare that I hardly ever use it.0 -
useless piece of junk but can't throw it away.
I hope you mean the corer, not the M-I-L :!:0 -
The most useless thing in my house ERM does that include stepsons cause he is hopeless. we paid him to fencecare the fencing & he droppped a whole tin of fencecare over patio,his scooter,the brick wall & he was covered in head to foot with it. :roll: so along with his payment,it cost me.A new pair of slippers,new mop & bucket,bottle of white spirit,bottle of bleach & a new tub of fence care.
Anyone want any painting done?
He might as well have just chucked the fencecare at the fencing & be done with it. :roll:
Soda streams,ive got one hidden somewhere & it never did make a decent drink.
Steamer,got that somewhere but once used.
Ive got a jar/ bottle opener thinggy & you have to stretch it over the jar then turn it,well i cant use that as i havent got the strength in my hands.
Crinkle cut chip cutting, Need plenty of plasters if your brave enough to use it.
so i have plenty of useless things in our house.,

Swap.... not including my wee pot I hope! (not a present I am glad to say). Also got an alarm to attach to the kids so you dont lose them but cant work out how to use it... a waste of £100.

Yep got the cucumber slicer, never been out of the box.
Bread maker used about six times.
Strange baking tin that lets you make different coloured cake mix at the same time. Still boxed.
Steamer..waste of time as OH likes his veggies chopped so have to use extra bowls to chop them in. More washing up!!
Tupperware bacon holder...When has there ever been any bacon over to put into it?0 -
Off the top of your head Jan....?
was that the heated rollers/?
Breadmakers - and I wanted one!! will leave it....
Mmmm... still thinking that wee pot sounds best...mind you could you drink a yard of sherry out of it...???

Hi Elizabeth
Thinking I might make you an offer for the alarm - might be very handy for hubby when out shopping!!!! (come to think of it, so might the wee pot) :shock:
Name your price
Love, Lynn xxxx
Id give to you. I bought it for my son when OH takes him to London but despite instructions I cannot work out how to use it.It was bought the same time as the new cot which my daughter never slept in so a total of £400 down the drain (well the cots gone to a new home so not entirely wasted).
Lynn does your OH wander off too?????Past 2 weeks i have lost him out shopping.

I got a yoghurt maker as a wedding present. Far too much hassle for too little return. So I left it with my ex-husband.
Useless article.
Then there are the cheese and chocolate fondue sets... the salad shaker, the capuccino frother... car boot sale coming up!0 -

Toni, I love my breadmaker, use it at least twice a week, and had it for ten years now so I'd recommend it.
......and I have a portable urinal (wee pot) which is kept in the car for emergencies, trouble out on a walk, get desperate, where's wee pot .....yes you're right .........in the boot of the car :roll:
