What don't you own ?

So what don't you have at home that others would find essential ?
I don't have a dishwasher or a tumble dryer. We also only have 1 tv in the family room.

Things people ' can't live without ' apparently

A laptop or computer make do with an iPad and phone
No dishwasher or tumble drier as the kitchen is too small for them

No second loo and a tumble dryer. A large tv, I have them.

happysunr1se · 15/02/2021 17:04

Same as you OP and the single TV is not tuned in, only used as a computer monitor.

PaperMonster · 15/02/2021 17:06

Don’t own a house! Or a dishwasher or tumble dryer.

icelollycraving · 15/02/2021 17:07

I can’t drive (not quite the same but unusual)

BarbaraofSeville · 15/02/2021 17:07

Hair dryer
Ironing board

A Quooker tap. I can't imagine it's that much better than a kettle to justify the cost and I need the 'waiting for the kettle to boil' time to do all the little jobs that always need doing in a kitchen. If I never had to wait for a kettle, nothing would get done.
Alexa things or any Apple products

We also only have one TV and one bathroom/toilet. The way people talk on here about needing multiple toilets and toilets on every floor is bizarre.

SorryStateOfAffairs · 15/02/2021 17:07

Tumble dryer
Electric kettle
Microwave
Dishwasher
Toaster

I have owned them in the past but never used them/didn't like them.
