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

Bearzen28 - I put disposable clinical gloves on my hands at night after putting on the steroid cream - it allows it to absorb and stops me washing it off when washing my hands after getting up for a pee!

Grannyjacq - clothes airer on wheels - now that IS a good idea! I have a wonderful German clothes airer - a bit like this one, only bigger: www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Vida-Winged-Folding-Clothes/dp/B01DDCOLKG/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=Clothing+Airer&tag=gransnetforum-21&qid=1611494730&sr=8-26

It is great - I use it instead of a washing line outside - you can peg things on if it is windy. But I do have to drag it around into the sun - not hard here, as lots of smooth decking - but I can see that wheels would be great.

The good thing about that style of clothes airer is that it means that clothes have their own space, rather than getting tangled up with the layer below.

JackyB I renew my 'fly nets' every spring on every window and my husband made a 'fly screen' for the porch door.

Please do not put sticking plaster on eczema. "Fill" the scratch with your local honey - do one as a patch test first. See how it goes.

I wish someone would invent a counter top mini wringer just big enough to wring out a flannel or the dishcloth. My very arthritic hands just can’t do it.
As I wrote that an image flashed into my mind of my daughter’s pasta maker. I wonder if that would work.

Just don't cook the flannel by mistake!

They don’t make plasters that stay stuck so that you have to keep buying them. Just as the paper used for crisp packets is so designed not to stay twisted closed at the neck so that the crisps go soggy. Profit is more important than utility to manufacturers bug—r the poor consumer.

Plasters that stick really well are hell to rip off, so the less sticky ones sell better.

Luckygirl Try Tesco's own ( Green box, i think) they are really good.

I'd like to go back in time and buy a bread slicer with 3 settings - thin,medium and thick - like we used to have, please. Now that would make me happy.

I don't know if you could manage this but I've seen people with your condition use a mini rolling pin.

Can't help but think that a lot of these wishes/suggestions are already available from Lakeland. They seem to have an amazing knack of pre guessing what people want!

Dmxwg and 00mam00 Have you tried the alcohol free website? I don’t like sweet wines either but, found some quite acceptable ones on there. It seems the wines are made in the normal way and then the alcohol removed (no idea how - I am no chemist)

Our bread slicer goes from 0 - 20.I assume that means mm. Most German households have one.

A food processor that washes itself. Much as I love my Magimix, sticky dough clings to the bowl and attachments and has to be scraped out before they can be washed.

@JackyB - does it have a name? Looks like just the thing I want and, who knows?, Amazon and all that...
I live in hope

My clothes airer has wheels! Mind you, I brought it back from Italy years ago, when we re-located to the UK, so pretty vintage now. Didn't know that UK airers don't have wheels - wonder why?

I want a dryer for humans. You’d step out of shower or bath and blasts of warm air would dry you all over. I hate drying myself with a towel.
