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.

Actually we don't have much.
How can I carry on now? lol

A car and lockdown has made me realise even more how difficult life is without one when there's no shopping slots and little public transport and I can no longer rely on family members to take me anywhere which they would usually happily do .

An iPad or iPhone. (We have notebook, Amazon fires and Nokia phones)

No microwave, freezer or dishwasher.
Only have Freeview channels, I don't pay for any channels or streaming services.

The only thing I really want is a freezer.

I don’t have a dishwasher.
Don’t have a hair dryer which shocks people - I need to let my hair dry naturally or I look like Helena bonham Carter in the Harry Potter films it’s not good.
A pair of high heels. I just hate them.

SittinOnTheDockOfTheBay · 15/02/2021 17:31

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

Ours was £17 on Black Friday. Glad we didn't pay any more for it, as it only does what Siri does.

I haven't got a robo vac but I really want one.

Bargebill19 · 15/02/2021 17:32

A bath, dishwasher or freezer. A bricks and mortar abode.

emmathedilemma · 15/02/2021 17:32

A coffee pod machine e.g. Nespresso

Peanutbuttercupisyum · 15/02/2021 17:32

I’m very surprised at people with no dishwasher. When ours broke, washing up kind of became my life! I mean every single meal tome there was this whole rigmarole to go through. I lost weight though as did not have any snacks at all and tried to make do with 2 meals a day!

And with 3 children I couldn’t be without a tumble dryer, I do 3 loads a day - my house would be damp with drying laundry.

Laila747 · 15/02/2021 17:33

No microwave. Had one for 4 years and used it twice....
They take up too much space and I really don’t miss it one bit.

Our house is mid terrace and we have no access to the back garden without going through our living room.

Love everything else about it!

A proper airing cupboard. I had one in my very old house but we live in a old/new converting thing now and now we don’t have one. Sad face

We do have a hot tub so at least I’m not a total failure. Grin
