And the winners are....

thanks for entering

The votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal that the four winners of the sought after Russian doll measuring cups are....

Jill Louise D

"I like mine served by George Clooney, who is my naked butler (I`ll take the eggs any style...I dont think  I'd notice the eggs to be honest! ) haha"

We just loved Jill’s cheeky answer! It had has all giggling in the office, and to be honest, I wouldn’t mind my eggs served in exactly the same way ;)

Judie Ellis

"I sometimes like my eggs poached and on toast...I also like my egg fried with a sausage on the side.

An omelette in a bagel is really quite nice, but an omelette goes very well in Chinese Fried Rice.  

But a chocolate egg for Easter is a bit of a treat...especially 'my favourite' - one that contains lots of Quality Street!"

Judie’s poem caught our eye straight away. Read it aloud and you’ll see what we mean.

Katie Coldicott

"I like mine on a Fry-day."

Short and sweet, a cracking (get it?) pun from Katie

And our twitter winner is...

Miss Procrastination

"I like mine baked, in a pretty vintage teacup with crème fraîche, dill & gruyère & baguette slices for posh soldiers!" 

When we read Miss Procrastination’s entry, it made us all hungry. These are the poshest eggs I’ve ever heard of! Hats off to her. 

Thanks to everyone that entered and to findmeagift.com for the lovely prizes. Commiserations if you haven’t won but don’t worry because we’ve got plenty more goodies to give away. What’s that? There’s another competition coming soon with the biggest and best prize yet!

Jeepers! Make sure you don’t miss out and keep your peepers peeled on the 25th April.

Spot the famous outfit... week 2!

If you’re a regular Friday giveaway entrant or a Yossette, you’ll know exactly what the title of this blog’s alluding to. No idea what the Friday giveaway is? Don’t worry, I’m here to fill you in.

6MOTION

Last Friday, Appliances Online gave away a brand new LG washing machine. Yes, you heard right, they gave it away free of charge! One lucky winner told us which famous figure wore a certain famous outfit and took home the F1479FDS5 6 Motion™ TrueSteam™ washing machine. Not bad for 2 minutes work!

This week, we’re doing it all again... but BIGGER AND BETTER. Yossi’s dug out some more photographs of famous outfits and we want you to tell us who they belong to.

The prize – the LG F1443KDS. Not only does this washing machine have everything last week’s prize has – LG’s 6 Motion™ wash technology, Truesteam™ programmes, and Direct Drive™ motor – it also has a huge 11kg drum. You couldn’t ask for any more from a washing machine.

To be in with a chance of taking this beauty home, simply enter our competition via our Facebook page. Every day at lunch time, 12pm to be precise, Yossi will be uploading a new photograph of a well known outfit. Choose which celebrity that outfit belongs to from one of the multiple choice answers below the photo, and you’ll be entered into our draw. 

Each photo will remain on the Facebook page for 24 hours only, so make sure you don’t miss it. Enter every day to bump up the odds of a win.

The winner will be announced on Friday 9th March at 4pm. Get guessing, there’s no time to waste.

Dedicated followers of fashion... we need you!

LG 6 Motions

Are you guilty of a crime against fashion? Perhaps you’ve been papped in some faded jeans that were once black? How about bobbly woollens? Even worse, the cardinal sin of grey whites?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you need to enter our Friday giveaway competition. We’re giving away the washing machine of your dreams – one to make all those fashion mishaps a thing of the past. Never again will you be caught out in a threadbare t-shirt because this washing machine uses 6 unique drum motions and LG’s TrueSteam™ technology to keep clothes in perfect condition.

And for those style gurus whose clothes always look top notch, enter our competition anyway. It’s definitely worth a go. You could end up winning the F1479FDS5, LG’s brand new washing machine.

All you have to do is scour your fashion memory files and tell us which famous face wore which famous outfit. Each day the infamous Yossi will upload a new photograph onto the Appliances Online Facebook page, and we want you to tell us who the famous outfit belongs to. Are you following? So, let’s say there’s a picture of a redhead in a Union Jack dress... the answer would be Geri Halliwell, obviously.

Don’t worry if your fashion knowledge isn’t the best, we’re going to give you a little extra help. There’ll be a few answers to choose from so you can’t get it wrong – the correct answer will be right there on the screen in front of you. What’ve you got to lose? Go on, enter. You know you want to!


Don’t forget, Yossi will be changing the photo everyday at 12pm (lunch time) so you can enter every day if you want. The more you enter, the more chance you have of winning.

The big giveaway will take place HERE on Friday 2nd March. See you then.

Interview with an expert

If you don’t already know, the team at Appliances Online are experts in their field. Each category has a designated expert who’s on hand to answer any questions you might have. Intrigued? I know I am. 

lucy

This week we’re catching up with cleaning guru, Lucy. (Cleaning includes washing machines, washer dryers, tumble dryers and dishwashers, although you’ll soon see which Lucy’s favourite is).  She’s the product trainer at Appliances Online and what she doesn’t know about appliances isn’t worth knowing. Let’s see what she has to say about the cleaning products of 2012...

A: Hello Lucy. First things first, Appliances Online sell a lot of different types of appliances. What is it about cleaning that peaks your interest?

L: My favourite cleaning appliance is a dishwasher because it’s an appliance I truly appreciate. When you think about it, most people have never lived without a washing machine, oven or fridge freezer, but pretty much all of us have lived without a dishwasher at some point. Now I’ve got a dishwasher, I really value the benefits.

A: A lot of people think a dishwasher is expensive to run, in terms of it wasting a lot of water, but this is a common misconception. Tell us more.

L: Well Amy, that’s what so interesting about dishwashers. Dishwashers on average save between 30 and 40 litres per wash load compared to washing up by hand! 

siemens sn26t595gb

A: Not to mention, the lack of washing up by hand must keep your hands nice and soft?

L: Absolutely!Dishwashers are much more hygienic because they wash your dishes at around 70°C, killing bacteria – a much higher temperature than your hands could stand. Just think how much bacteria builds up on your sponge if you wash up by hand.

A: So, which dishwashers would you recommend for a first timer like me?

L: Well Amy, that completely depends on your budget. The best models out there have to be Siemens. They’re packed full of features and functions and they’re soo energy efficient, so cheap to run. The IQ-700 SN26T595GB is a favourite, it’s A+++ energy rated and has a HydroSensor to utilise every drop of water. If you want something a little bit more affordable, I’d go for the Hotpoint Aquarius FDL570G. It can hold 12 place settings so it’s suitable for cleaning up after a family of 4 and it even has a 25 minute quick wash for when you’re in a rush.

A: A quick wash is a feature that would definitely come in handy at my house. Thanks for your time Lucy.

Well, I’ve certainly learnt something new. I hope you have too. Keep your eyes peeled for the next expert interview. Who will it be?
