If only someone would invent...........

When I was a girl I invented (in my head) the see through plastic umbrella. I was annoyed when many years later I saw people with these umbrellas. I later entered a competition to invent something and invented a double umbrella for 2 people walking side by side. Lo and behold that idea was pinched but it never caught on as it was too difficult to fold. I must have a thing about umbrellas. I would like a proper double umbrella to be invented.

A nice cute little robot that will do all the housework.

Indestructible rubber gloves - mine seem to develop a leak incredibly quickly.
Device that will open any kind of bottle. With arthritic hands and a poor grip the caps that have to be squeezed between two fingers whilst twisting the whole thing at the same time are a nightmare.
And I was given a mini bottle of Prosecco at Christmas which has this smooth plastic "cork", which I just cannot budge!
Think I own every opening aid known to man or woman . I live on my own so often get very frustrated when I can't open something and there's no one to help.

Come to think of it, I suppose the answer is to find another husband, but that is definitely a step too far!!

Thanks very much Elegran, they look good, I’m going to give it a try for my bedroom window. I’ve tried the stick on ones they sometimes have in Aldi, but they aren’t strong enough to stay stuck to the frames - these look so much better!

As mentioned by Ayse, the old stretchy ones on a reel were brilliant. Unfortunately, they changed the formula and now they don't work.

Something to wipe out all the plastic clogging up our world without leaving anything behind & also something to wipe out the rotten virus so that we can all stop living in fear, or in prison like so many of us old & alone please?

You can still get the old rolls of elastoplast that don't have a dressing on the inside. I guarantee they stick. So I find does micropore tape used over a gauze dressing.

Inventions:
doll sized pins for use when making dolls' clothes
bathroom cleaner that actually removes lime scale

So many things, but last night I wanted separate wireless headphones so that DH and I could watch the same programme on TV at different volume levels, he has it on so loud......

A full body hot air drier. Like the hands one. So that when I step out of the shower I can be dried by nice warm air rather than a scratchy towel. And they would be really great at swimming baths. I don't know if I get more wet when swimming, but I find it so hard to get properly dry afterwards.

Not beyond the scope of the car industry I'm sure, I would like someone to invent a sensor on the back of cars, which then links to a message flashing up 'Tailgater' in the rear view mirror, when some twonk is trying to drive in the boot of my car!

... a machine that straps to your jaw and moves your mouth up and down, enabling you to chew and swallow your food, when you are hungry, but too tired to eat!

A pill that will get rid of scabby warts, they are a plague slowly creeping all over me.

When I was little, about nine years old, I explained an invention that I had in mind to my Mum. I said: 'It's to clean the venetian blinds... it's like a glove with cleaning fingers on, so that you can clean them quicker than individually'. I had thought of it because it was my job to do them and I was sick of getting paper cuts from them. She said: ' Sick, they have been out for years!' I was gutted...

I would like someone to invent a chip for dogs which incorporates a tracker,so all the dogs who get lost or stolen could be tracked easily,
So many being stolen,and some not even chipped,even though it's the law now

I wish someone would invent a mirror that reflects how old
I feel on the inside, rather than the way I look on the outside ...

A ‘pill pusher out gadget’ please. I have arthritis in my hands and especially my thumbs. Very painful. Once a month I sort my many prescription pills into pill boxes. 15 each day. Some sort of gadget to push out these pills would be great.

A tablet that melts excess fat off your body

I wish there were plasters that were easier to get out of the wrappings. By the time I get one out I could have bled to death, well almost.

I'd go for that Lesley60

Luckygirl Try something called Mepore available on amazon, this is what I use on my splits in my hands and even though I wash my hands and they get wet they don't fall off.

Merlotgran.....use deorators masking tape instead of freezer labels. Does the job....and is cheaper.
What about a clothes line that automatically raises a cover if (or should I say when) it starts to rain.

Lucy127 I sort out my pills into one of those every two weeks. My thumbnails were breaking so now I use the handle of a teaspoon to push the pills out of the foil bubbles. The stubborn ones get the pointy tip of the spoon first to cut the foil.

A gadget to change my bedding weekly. I struggle with a king size duvet cover and it takes me ages doing a simple task of bed changing.

I wish someone would invent an anti-Boris vaccine.

I would like some sort of pill which calculated how many calories I actually needed and then somehow vapourised the excess I had consumed.
