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.

We've never got around to it. Wish we had had it for lockdown learning though

A hottub according to friends Hmm
I'd say a toilet seperate from my bathroom and a dishwasher

Conservatory, had one in last house, mainly used as a playroom/laundry

Okokokbear · 15/02/2021 17:13

I'm now wondering if our washer has a dryer in it or if that was the old one. Wither way I've never used it (if it exists)

Garden
More than one tv- also apperently our TV is fairly small by lots of people's standards.
A slow cooker
Anything like a kitchen aid or even the electric wisks!
A second car
Downstairs loo
Ensuite
Garage
Shed
BBQ
Second sofa we have 1 and then a rocking chair and a kind of reading chair.

People who don't own an ironing board. I'd really recommend a garment streamer. Like 25 quid or so on amazon lazy non ironing persons dream! We do still have an ironing board for some things but day to day I love the steamer!

@AdventureCode A colleague told me that I was 'letting my family down' by not having a hot tub. 😂

I can't imagine anything worse tbh.

I don't have an en suite but I really want one!

I do not have a TV in my bedroom or Alexa

Okokokbear · 15/02/2021 17:15

Is Alexa or dot or whatever common enough for it to be standard? Jesus I'm out of touch then!

BigWholeBean · 15/02/2021 17:15

Microwave. It would take up too much counter space

kerkyra · 15/02/2021 17:16

A 'proper' phone.
I still call and txt on my old Nokia.

LegendDairy · 15/02/2021 17:17

I think hot tubs are fine I don't get the hate. But honestly letting your family down by not having one is a touch dramatic ?! 🤣 What do you say to that?

AgeLikeWine · 15/02/2021 17:18

TVs in bedrooms. We own one TV, and it lives in the sitting room. There are radios in every room, though, all tuned to R4.

MacDuffsMuff · 15/02/2021 17:19

@Okokokbear I didn't really know what to say I think I just kind of went 'um .. ok'. 😁

Hair dryer
Hot tub

A second home! ( I am so lucky to have one home I know)

MrsDThomas · 15/02/2021 17:22

A separate tv room. Id love one! So i tend to go to bed to watch tv then fall asleep

TitInATrance · 15/02/2021 17:23

Toaster, food mixer, slow cooker, fryer ... I don’t like gadgets in the kitchen.
Freezer.
Dishwasher.
Car / motorbike.
Nothing outside computing & entertainment tech has wireless capability.

I don’t have linen cupboard or blanket box, that’s what I actually miss.

Dilbertian · 15/02/2021 17:24

Sky, or any other subscription/streaming service.
Playstation/Xbox
Wireless earpods

Hmmm, bit of a theme here! Grin

Dilbertian · 15/02/2021 17:24

No Alexa, either.

LST · 15/02/2021 17:24

Just got rid of the dishwasher that was here when we moved in so we could have another freezer in its space.

I don't have a second bathroom but I do have a downstairs loo
