What don't you own ?

[RuthTopp]

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.

We only got sky tv 3 years ago as we needed to change broadband and they had the best option locally, and the upgrade to include tv was very little. We had managed on free to air satellite channels and Netflix for years.

A slow cooker, even though all my friends rave about them.

This is hilarious - really cheered up my morning!

A slow cooker.

No dish washer. No Alexa!

I didn’t have a microwave until I moved in with my DH and he insisted we got one. I just never saw the need for one at all but now can’t imagine life without it.

Don’t own an ironing board, we never need to iron.

We have one 32 inch TV in the living room and don’t plan on having any others. We all have laptops so if we really need to watch something in bed we do that.

We don’t have sky TV or similar, we watch everything on Netflix/catch up.
Never bothered with a slow cooker because we don’t eat meat.

No Sky - just terrestrial.
No tumble drier.
No PlayStation or equivalent.
No Alexa.
No doorbell (just a knocker).

I was like this but the newer slow cookers are much faster than the older ones and you can cook root vegetables in about 5 hours in my new one. It's got a metal liner in it as well so you can sauté off the spices and the onions before dumping it all in the machine.

It makes the most amazing dahls. I'm now a complete convert. I have a vegetable hot pot complete with dumplings planned for tonight - all from the slowcooker

We don’t have a microwave.

Electric kettle. We have an old school one!

Tumble drier but I don’t want one.

Due to lockdown - no car!

No dishwasher just because there's no room for one otherwise I'd buy one

I have a combined washer/tumble dryer which is great, as I don't have room for a separate dryer. Would love a utility room!

A garden
An iron!

No dishwasher
No stairs
Tiny ground floor flat, live alone
And yes, a husband.. no need for a replacement I have a dog instead!

I’m not sure what other people class as essential, but I do know I have everything that is essential to my own family. If a tumble drier or a dishwasher isn’t essential to your family, why is it important that you don’t have one?

Only one telly

No dishwasher or tumble drier - kitchen too tiny

No garage or conservatory - would love these

No hosepipe for the back garden - have to use watering cans which is a bit of a faff

No Alexa or similar

microwave, alexa, coffee machine, bath, gamesy stuff like psp and a wii

I would very much like a dishwasher and a tumble dryer it would make my life very much easier. But tiny flat social housing so no hope of moving to anything bigger. It’s not a life style choice

That is totally different from someone who doesn’t have one because like to go wash dishes in stream at the end of garden to save water.
