Silly little things to make life better...

Mine already happened - train tickets becoming scannable QR codes. An under-appreciated highly functional upgrade on paper tickets or Southeastern's glitchy "the key".

Do away with multipacks all together. Keep multipack pricing, but have single bags of crisps where you can pick any 6 bags of crisps but pay the multipack price. Same for anything, drinks, canned food, etc. Let people buy the number of items they want and offer discounts for quantity, but less packaging.

What this boils down to is everyone wanting the world to do things how they personally like them.

This is genius. We need the origin story to this feud, because it’s been going on too damn long for sure.

The ‘issue’ about being paid early in December and it having to last longer into January always makes me eyeroll.

People think November salary only has to last three weeks then whine about January.

But if you stick to your normal budget schedule, your November salary should last until one week after you have been paid early . Then your December salary would be used from the usual date until January’s salary is paid. So it’s no different from any other month.

I would vote for this one. I keep meaning to sew them in but that would mean trying to find my sewing kit…

Also, my DCs hate cheese and onion crisps and even the “meaty” multi-packs of crisps have them in - an option without cheese and onion would suit us perfectly.

I think websites should be simple and functional. And not constantly 'upgraded'.

There's too much flashy whizzy bollocks going on that do nothing except provide an outlet for designers to show off and increase the computing power required/likelihood that it won't work properly.

I was always on the look-out for the flex-free, silent hoover.
I've not got a rechargeable one so no bloody flex to struggle with. I'm just waiting for the silent version.

I feel you. Mine is still scrumptious to look at but my god…I would not have another!!!

Friendly dogs* anywhere! Which is very un-Mumsnetty of me, I know.

*or Wagglies, as dds and I call them. A dd who recently ate at Jeremy Clarkson’s pub reported back that there were lots of lovely Wagglies!

I use that and it works

@Bedroomdilemmas113 I agree. Our elderly Pomeranian has alopecia so now no longer in possession of his one redeeming feature. He looks like something from a horror movie, but is now also deaf with failing eyesight so thankfully can’t hear/see his yapping triggers. Would never have another (in our defence we were given him, with no mention of his rather angry disposition)

mine doesn't - we get paid on the 24th Dec as apposed to 25th December now - it still feels like ages till 25th Jan
I would change monthly pay to every 2 weeks pay - so you get paid every two weeks regardless if a 5 week month or not. Plus you get a pay shortly after xmas mid Jan .

I've heard that in Spain, people get paid 14 times a year. A monthly payment and then an extra payment just before Christmas and the summer.

Of course, people probably receive the same amount of money overall and if they want to use their money in a way that is different to conventional 12 monthly splits, they could probably set it up to work that way themselves although it's likely going to need a certain amount of slack in the budget at the beginning to get going with it and to have the excess at Chiristmas, you're going to have less during regular months. Plus 13 x 4 weekly could be difficult to manage if you're paying bills like mortgage and utilities monthly.

This would be great when coming home with a muddy child. But how will the bath get rinsed? Unless I’m the only person who rinses the bath before running it 😂

Carnage at junctions if four people used their button at the same time 😂

What standard would that be? Do you mean for security or should all websites offer the same user experience?

Is this 1970? This tired phrase was before my time.

I've not tried this myself, so I have no idea if it would work, but could you use WhatThreeWords to identify where your car is, and then follow the directions back to it?

I work for a big multinational & we were intrigued to discover our colleagues in various markets have their salary split into 13 and get an early payment in mid December to pay for Christmas as well as their usual pay. I quite like the idea.

also bring back the "laugh" reaction. 🙄I found this one in the emoji list though.

Small city near me does this. Free parking for up to 2 hours. Means I can pop in for lunch and a quick shop/gallery visit when I probably wouldn't bother if I had to pay for parking, which I know doesn't make much sense.

One car parking app, and one style of car park pay machine.

To build on this.

I will register my details with 1 (one) car parking app, and find the G Spot of 1 (one) in person car park pay machine, and that is all my perimenopause can deal with.

I often ask for one, and have never been refused.

I buy a petite and they can still be 3 or 4 inches too long in places like mint velvet or reiss. Ridiculous.

5 foot 4 is not petite!
