Anyone else? ...share your really daft ideas that you think could work...

[MarniLou]

So, laughing at myself really....( and obviously too much time on my hands...no actually divergence tactics...should be waxing the new floor!)

I often wonder why we don't sleep upside down...(hear me out???) because that would help my ever increasing saggy, wrinkled face to be smooth.

My thinking is that by sleeping upside down or (maybe more practically in a sloping bed, feet higher than head)' gravity would pull my face the other way for 8 hours a day, combatting the sagging. I know I have creases on my face from sleeping on my side, squashing lines into my cheeks, these wouldn't be there.

Anyone else, share your daft ideas. ( or explain mine...perhaps I have unwittingly invented a new bed! )

I wanted Velcro baby grows and patches of it on the walls so I could just briefly stick a child there while I went to the loo it answered the front door (twins and a toddler - leaving them alone for even a short time could be a tad fraught...)

Self cleaning houses would be good too, I'm thinking suction machines along the length of the skirting board that once on, suck all the dirt and dust out of the room.

my sister had something like this installed in her house. basically every room has good a hoover socket where you just plug in a loooooong hose and switch on. the dust is compacted in the cellar and then can be put in the incinerator.

I too would like a device that would change my period into a five minute faff from a week long misery.
A screen that can tell me clearly how much I have eaten vs how much energy I have used. Part of a smart watch perhaps.

Ah, but I said 'self cleaning'

I know about the hose, but too much effort!!

I was thinking flick a switch and the house sucks the dirt out, no effort with a hose. yep I am that lazy

Whenever the fantasy prime minister thing comes up amongst friends ( “ what would be the first thing you would do if you were prime minister”) I always go for the “ make it legal that all new build houses should have solar panels installed”.

I’ve even over elaborated now, and introduced phase 2, which is to fit every roof in the uk with solar panels over the next 20 years, by setting up sponsored British factories and training workers to fit them. They would be fitted for free, and there would be no subsidies to the householder, just the cheap electricity. All surplus that are generated would pay for the factories and training required.

How about a self cleaning bathroom? You press a button, things like the storage cupboard, bin and bog brush holder retreat into the floor. Wall units would retreat into the wall and the room would become a water tight cube with only the fixtures still in. Press button 2 and rotating soft cleaning brushes would descend from the ceiling and clean the bath, toilet, sink and shower. Then large whirly brushes like a car wash would descend and clean the walls and floor. Then, when they had done their jobs, large, super-blowy hair dryers would descend, blow all the water down off the walls and then dry off the fixtures and floor in a gleaming, streak free shine. Then, finally, cabinets, bog brush holder and bin would ascend from the floor and be replaced in their rightful places.

Fake tan that you put in your bath water so you get an even colour all over. I’ve wanted someone to invent that for years.

pink but only once you have stripey's contraption installed.

I have twin toddlers. When they both want to get out of the buggy and walk I always end up running after them both and having to go back for the buggy. I would like a self-propelling buggy that would slowly trundle along behind me. It would follow a tracking device that I would wear.

@cigarsofthepharoahs a Fitbit does that!

Yes yes to sunscreen vaccine and period hoover.
My idea is a bit more practical. Put GPS trackers in pensioners’ bus passes, so that when they go wandering then they’re easy to find!

@Soola my children had fissure sealant to help prevent tooth decay.

Like this sort of thing? (Click her twitter pic for full glory!)

So why oh why don’t they just print more money?
Everything including the nhs needs money, just print more so that nurses wages can be increased, equipment can be bought, services don’t have to be cut.
We have a bloody factory making the stuff, just make more

Without wanting to bring down the lighthearted vibe of this thread, this is basic economics. The amount of money in circulation is very calculated, it has value. If you create more if it the money already in circulation is devalued. Printing more money will increase inflation, it's a endless cycle. Famous situations of more money being printed include Germany post WW1 which gave rise to the Nazis, and recent years in Zimbabwe

BuzzShitbagBobby poor lass!

Proves you get a good even colour though...

orangeshoebox yes - and I could use the ‘super blowy contraption’ to dry me off!

Unless the government use a few sleight of hand tricks and call it “quantative easing”...

Directly nicked from a futuristic book (Drinking Sapphire wine/Don’t bite the Sun). Handy self propelled handbag which keeps your purse/phone/spare nappies/babygro/keys/poo bags etc). It floats above you but out of reach of anyone else. I hate being encumbered with pockets full of stuff or a bag, drives me nuts.

I reckon this could be done if we could adapt drones so we don’t have to control them constantly.

@crosser62 I live on a new build estate and the majority of new houses have solar panels as standard.

I think they should sort out reproduction so we lay eggs. We could dress them up in cute wee egg outfits and take it around in a pram. Men could then do their share of caring for the egg and as it’s put less chance of complications etc.....cleaner overall.

Chocolate with zero calories but still tastes divine

I'd love a cure for floppy / stiff toddler syndrome, I'm thinking like an epi-pen, jab them in the thigh with it and hey presto you can put them in the pushchair or wherever they are supposed to be. DS2 does this all the frigging time and the temptation to jab him with pointy things is huge.

DuggeesWoggle - I think cars like that already exist

Looks like it

"I would like there to be a vaccine against sunburn." As a redhead with vampire level white skin I'm all for this!

As an endo sufferer I'm all for the removable uterus too. When I first started having periods and they were already horrific I remember saying to my mum "once I've had my kids I'm having it all taken out!" Not understanding the ramifications. I'm now on noriday permanently and it's auch a relief not having periods. Why so many medics in this country are averse to allowing women to do this I don't know, it's completely unnecessary.

I'm still annoyed solar roadways and paths haven't become reality - I'm certain it's machinations of big oil!

As an ocd sufferer self cleaning anything and everything I'd love but ESPECIALLY properly self cleaning toilets!

Soft play in shopping centres. Preferably with highly adept childminders supervising them included in the price.
Cloak rooms in shopping malls too.

I have twin toddlers. When they both want to get out of the buggy and walk I always end up running after them both and having to go back for the buggy.

^^At least you're getting your 10 squillion steps per day now

Ooh, on the theme of parks etc, self drying park equipment. None of this bullshit rain stopping the kids us from playing becauseiit's all wet

Sorry but
