I couldn't live without . . .

When we installed a new shower room we ordered a 'riser' for the loo. It's only a few centimetres higher but makes getting off much easier when my dodgy knee is playing up.

My chromecast which was a Christmas present. It's a little gadget that plugs into the back of our ailing television so I can watch anything on the BBC I player via my iPad and I can look at the lovely photos my daughter sends of the grandchildren, who live quite a long way away, on the tv

Technology of any sort, my house, my car my life would not function without it all.
My good health.....so far.
My daughter, if she would ever speak to me again, and with that my grandchildren.
my sense of humour, had to dig deap for that today, by 12noon I had managed to put petrol in my diesel car, use the wrong PIN with the credit card, and because I was so fed up, when the car had been fixed, have the BIGGEST choc muffin you have ever seen and I am on a diet!!!!

I am now home and feel like going to bed, right now this is what I can't live without.

Nonna I have sent you a PM with the link to the one I use.

Imp

Argon oil shampoo, any particular brand? I googled it and there are so many different brands.

I couldn't live without my camera or laptop.

In readiness for retirement, I was keen to have a machine or gadget for all eventualities. We are almost self sufficient in fruit and veg produce, make our own bread, preserves etc so still making regular use of most of the equipment.

My pride and joy are the recent acquisitions: iPad and Kitchenaid, sometimes used simultaneously if working from a recipe on the Internet.

Mr. L is happy with his new steam cleaner as he is in charge of floor cleaning which is mostly tiled.

Now I am seriously tempted by one of those soup maker thingys.........could be the next must have.

I'm definitely going to try some of the things posters have mentioned. I really like the sound of the toastabags, and I'm wondering if I can coax my husband into getting a Bosch lightweight cleaner. I'm also going to dig out the breadmaker I was given for a present and have never used. Thanks for mentioning them!

I have 2 g-techs - one is brilliant the other newer model is not so good. I also have a heavy Dyson which I've not had out since I got the other one. Ana I debated long and hard about spending that much but finally decided that having wasted money on several ones over the last few years which haven't done the job I would go for it. I seem to have rather a collection at the moment

My Bosch cordless vacuum cleaner - I badgered DH til he agreed that despite having a big heavy efficient ordinary vacuum cleaner, for the twice daily cleaning of downstairs floors necessitated by his hairy dog, we needed something quick,light and manoeuvrable. No, I am not at all houseproud, but his dog is ridiculously hairy and the DGCs are small and mobile and pick up everything.

My Gtech cordless sweeper. The smallest and cheapest they do.
We had one in a holiday cottage last year and couldn't believe how efficient it was.

My breadmaker. I haven't bought bread in years. I love my bread because I know exactly what's in it. I make it with all organic ingredients: Wholemeal flour, rye flour, rapeseed oil, malt, molasses, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and two eggs. It tastes delicious, has a wonderful texture and is so much more satisfying than any bought bread. When baked (overnight), I leave it to cool completely then slice it and freeze it. That way my bread is always fresh and I never run out. I do different types of bread to suit all occasions - it's there in the freezer and it's so easy just to take one slice at a time. Oh, I forgot to mention it costs less than 40 pence for a 940g loaf - beat that!!

My hand held stick blender. No need for soup makers, I gave mine to my Sis-i-L. Oh, and my ipad that I swore I'd never use....

I know I'll sound like I work for the company and I truly don't but I am evangelical about my nutribullet! It is AMAZING!! Before I succumbed to the advertising and bought one I was a) very sceptical - it's just an overpriced blender right? - and b) becoming slightly crazed/obsessed with my lack of 5 a day intake as I'm always on the go and let myself down by not getting enough. Well...4 weeks on and all boxes are ticked. Its mad but you can actually feel the smoothies/drinks doing you good. Definitely would sorely miss it!

Just bought a steam cleaner. Hopefully, I will be able to say that is something I couldn't live without, if it lives up to all the hype!

I hate my Dyson! Heavy, un intuitive, expensive. Much prefer my daughter's cheap Henry.

baNANAGran3 yep, Fairy Liquid will do the trick.

Had to Google a Dyson Absolute to see how much it cost and now I want one. Won't get one, but would like one. We got a Dyson when they first came out (it was expensive) and I think we hoovered up two new dogs out of our carpets.

My laptop.I am another computer addict.

Chromebook laptop.

Love my iPhone and MacBook Pro, don't seem to use the iPad so much after getting them.

I know this isn't what the thread is about but following Wilma's post above, a hairdresser one told me that it's a good idea to use Fairy Liquid instead of shampoo once every few months.

My Samsung tablet. When it was given to me as a Christmas present, I was a bit . 2 months later. ... wouldn't be without it.

Blimey, just googled Dyson Absolute....how can anyone justify spending that much on a vacuum cleaner?

Recent purchase my Dyson Absolute which replaced my other handheld one - house has never been so clean!
iPad - has my life in it
my cats - well my other half too I suppose but he knows his place

My Kindle and iPad ( could live without them, but they make life better.)

I want an kindle ......just saying
