You shouldn't clean chicken.

It would never even cross my mind to review a £1.89 washing up bowl....Maybe I've been living under a rock, but isn't it just a plastic bowl? What would you even find to say about it? "It's concave, which is handy for holding water." :/

why would you want to put your washing up bowl that you use for washing your dishes in the dishwasher ?

And then where does it end?? Before you know it, bowls of increasing sizes have taken over your house, and you're living in the shed. At least you'll have plenty of containers for when the tin roof leaks, but still.

What, like plucking a chicken?

the 3yr guarantee struck me...firstly, I thought I'd be too embarrassed to take back a bowl for replacement and then secondly wondered for what reason...but after reading comments....then, Erm...?? Lol

never ​do any of the other chicken things mentioned here in the loo either...

Looks like the kind of bowl you'd buy with the best intentions, but ends up being relegated to the humble sick bowl :smiley:

Never do your washing up in the Loo!
Or clean chicken in there :stuck_out_tongue:

These are good to use as a foot bath.

You really shouldn't have a your loo full of washing up. that's just silly..:confused:

Good, I don't think this is designed as a bed pan

I use the loo

£2.49 in "The Range" stores if you happen to have one of those near you, but as has been posted great VFM @£1.89 and all BS asside they really are a great quality bowl, using a soft plastic bowl can protect your dishes etc, as well as the sink, depending on material, from cracks and scratches, as well as quietening down the washing process of clattering plates in sink directly.

No We don't have all of these 'issues' but just pointing them out for people who don't get why others like a Bowl...
and ref the quality, it lasts, and lasts, can be lifted and carried whilst full of water (cheap ones start to misshapen and squash when fully laden)

I must say the 9.5L capacity is an impressive feature.

Also works well as a small boat.

I've genuinely never got the point of having a washing bowl in the sink, couldn't you just use a sink plug and use the actual sink bowl instead? Genuinely curious.

Looks like we're going to need a bigger sink.

Washing up bowls can also leave scratch marks on some types of sink

And then where does it end?? Before you know it, bowls of increasing sizes have taken over your house, and you're living in the shed. At least you'll have plenty of containers for when the tin roof leaks, but still.

they have decent reviews as well.. But buy them in store as one reviewer said hers come cracked and
they had to bin it.

Ah ok. Are the wilko ones not as good?

Sure this is £1 in ASDA

Thanks op.
Are these cheaper in wilkos?

Maybe they don't have a sink to wash it in?

I'm not sure but I feel dirty myself now

Is that a euphemism?

I read that but have been cleaning chicken most of my life.

Cleaning chicken increases the chances of salmonella poisoning.

You shouldn't clean chicken.

copied off Wiki so the majority should be near the truth!

"Homebase was founded by the supermarket chain Sainsbury's and Belgian retailer GB-Inno-BM in 1979, as Sainsbury's Homebase. This was to bring a supermarket-style layout to the British Do It Yourself (DIY) market. The first store was in Croydon, opening on 3 March 1981, located on the Purley Way.

In May 1995, Homebase tripled in size, when J Sainsbury plc bought rival store group Texas Homecare, from the Ladbroke Group plc. These stores were rebranded, and converted to the Homebase format, beginning in February 1996, with the store in Longwell Green, Bristol, with the process being completed by 1999. In October 1999, Sainsbury's bought Hampden Group plc, the franchisee of 10 Homebase stores across Ireland.

On 22 December 2000, Sainsbury's sold the Homebase chain, in a two-fold deal worth £969 million. In March 2001, the sale of the chain of 283 stores to venture capitalist Schroder Ventures[1] generated £750 million, and the sale of 28 development sites to rival B&Q's parent company, Kingfisher plc generated £219 million. At the time, the chain had 13% of the United Kingdom market, with 283 stores and 17,000 employees, behind B&Q and Focus Do It All.[2]



In November 2002, Homebase was sold again, this time to GUS plc (formerly Great Universal Stores plc) for £900 million, where it became part of Argos Retail Group (ARG).[3] On 10 October 2006, GUS completed a demerger of its remaining two businesses, Experian and ARG. ARG was renamed Home Retail Group, within which Homebase operated until 27 February 2016.

In October 2007, it was announced that Home Retail Group had signed a contract for the purchase of 27 leasehold properties from Focus DIY. The purchase price paid was £40 million in cash. The properties were transferred over the period up to 31 December 2007, and were then refitted to the Homebase fascia over the course of several months. No other infrastructure, and no merchandise stock were acquired as part of the transaction, although staff in these Focus stores transferred across to Homebase.

In May 2014, Homebase launched the Homebase Design Centres. The new-look stores have a Decorating Ideas and Advice Centre, offering touch screen technology, to help customers transform the look of rooms in their homes. In October 2014, Home Retail Group announced that it would close around a quarter of Homebase stores by 2019, following a review of the business. It was also confirmed that it would increase the number of Argos and Habitat concessions within Homebase stores.[4]

In April 2015, former Tesco executive Echo Lu succeeded Paul Loft as Managing Director.[5]

On 18 January 2016 it was announced that Australian retailer Wesfarmers would acquire Homebase for £340 million, subject to shareholder approval.[6] The transfer of ownership to Wesfarmers took place on 27 February 2016.[7] Following the transfer of sale, Peter Davis was appointment Managing Director, succeeding Echo Lu."

Thanks, needed a new bowl and this will do perfectly.

This is plastic, or metal?

I had noticed the Habitat stuff in Argos.... mainly because they often have nice fairy lights :smile:

Argos/Homebase and Habitat used to be the same company. And so in my local Homebase, they have small sections for Argos and Habitat. Homebase is now owned by some Australian DIY store.
Ouch at the cost. Im in London but mainly pound shops around here. If I don't fancy the £3 bus cost, I can walk for 45 minutes to the Big stores. But not happening :smiley:. Hope you get a similar deal elsewhere.

I didn't know that Homebase had new owners :neutral_face: ... they don't deliver to my area so I don't tend to pay much attention to them ...lol
I wouldn't even venture to an Argos store unless I was in the area for something else as it's £80 alone just for Taxi's to the train station :confused:
I'm in a bad mood anyway with Argos at the minute, I ordered a lovely garden arbour that I had my eye on since last year, BUT 10 days after I placed the order they called me to say their suppliers don't deliver to my area :smirk:
Now my clematis has nothing to clamber on :disappointed:

ouch.. looks like me as I need to pay £3 for the bus if I want to get most things on here.
But Argos is the exception as they have a small section in Homebase about 20 minutes away from me.

Who knows how long that will continue as Homebase has new owners now. :disappointed:

Yeah.... lol
I knew that I was paying a bit over the odds when I bought it to be honest, but Addis are a good brand and I didn't have that many options on places I could get one from.
The Argos one is a really good deal.... but it would still cost me £6 (well £5.84) because I would have to add postage; because I'm 100 miles from my nearest Argos...... lol.

Thanks Princess JellyBean. I saw the prices there and still charging £6 :confused:

I paid over £6 from Amazon :confused:
Addis do make good quality plasticwares though...... Great find :smiley:

There will be sexiest comments below ..... hopefully.
