Dragons Den

Recommended Posts

Is anyone else enjoying the new series?

I loved the sweet (but tough) girl last week who got her investment :P

 

Over the years,on the back of Dragons Den I have bought many things.................

 

Reggae Reggae Sauce (of course!)

Rap Strap (Brilliant!)

Bra Angel (Again,an amazing idea & it really works)

Tangle Teezer

Itza (that beach towel with the annoying man who kept telling the Dragons how to run a business)

Water Buoy (Hubby uses it for his keys when boating)

 

What have you all bought - I know Lesley is a big fan of She Wee - was that a Dragons Den item??? :think:

I bought some 'Mummy Mitts'. They are these lovely warm mittens that velcro on to the handle of your push chair. They are are godsend in the winter enabling you to keep your hands warm when pushing but without the hassle of taking gloves on and off when dealing with the kids. And of course Reggae reggae sauce! 8)

Well, as far as I know I've never bought anything off Dragons Den, because I rarely watch it (although I did by chance see the amazing young woman of 24 last week, who'd built up her business whilst working at three different jobs).

 

However, I've just Googled Bra Angel out of curiosity, and I want (need!) one of those. I threw away a favourite bra last week because of exactly that problem, and because I believed that once the underwire has come out, they are unrepairable. Thank you SO much for bringing it to my attention!

Wow! I'm going to send for one of those!

 

I once had to have my washing machine repaired because some underwiring worked its way out during the wash cycle, managed to get into one of the holes in the drum and jigmatised the machine.

 

I bought some reusable cable tie type thingies that had been pitched on Dragon's Den once. They weren't much cop if I'm honest.

I've always just stitched over the hole made by the underwires if they've started to poke through the fabric :? Is it really worth buying something to do the job?

 

YES - they are brilliant & are designed in such a way that it CANNOT poke out again,which is what always happens to me if I stitch it :roll:

 

I have managed to fix 2 bras now, & always have an Angel spare in case I need one again - I cannot recommend them enough :P

:lol::lol::lol: No, cable ties wouldn't be as effective as a bra angel.

Sorry, after re-reading I realised the 2 items weren't connected. :lol:

 

Yes, I bought a couple of Tangle Teezers directly because of the programme and think they're good. Thought Deb Meaden totally missed the point when she said it looked like something she'd use for her horses, she should have tried one, it works!

Nothing beats a Mason Pearson, but for a handy, cheaper brush I like them.

I have had dealings with 3 people that pitched and they were awful to deal with - very amateurish and had no business acumen . No surprise that they failed to succeed. It is lovely though to see some people get a leg up. I still feel sad about the man who made the child seatbelt attachment thingy that died. It was in one of the 'where are they now' type updates that they did :(

I really liked the safety light/torch that came on if you had a power cut - none of them liked it but I think they still went into production - I want one but haven't found them yet..................does anyone else remember?

Googled it - Safe T Light ? :D

 

I've met Casey Jones, the man that had the machine that looked like a microwave + got rid of smell from shoes :lol: ... and then the machine that can make any wine vintage 8)

Really need something to get the smell out of shoes. I have a really smelly shoe cupboard and I don't know which shoes are the culprites. I need to find the time to spray all the shoes but there are so many in there. I'd like to point out that I'm sure it's not my shoes that smell but more likely the OHs. :)

 

We bought a tangle teezer and I'm getting my new car from Ling -remember that crazy chinese woman? Hadn't seen the bra one but I really need those too.

Thank you Lewis!! I haven't googled it for some time and couldn't find anything about it before. They're much nicer looking than the two emergancy lights we have. I didn't think there had been any investment secured from Dragons but the site says they did. I know Peter Jones was very rude about it - he's obviously not scared of the dark and is able bodied enough to walk to the other side of his room (in the dark :anxious: ) to pick up a torch :roll:
