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.

Reading these lists:
Hot tub (but I want one!)
Conservatory (same)
Spanish holiday apartment (want even more)
I didn’t think we were into gadgets but obviously we are

Don't even understand what an Alexa or Siri actually do? Confused There was a thread on here some time ago explaining what Alexa did but apart from playing music or 'writing' a shopping list I still don't understand .....

So I can't say if I miss having them or not Grin.

Tumble drier.

grapewine · 15/02/2021 17:54

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

This is me too 😂

I also don't own a car, a house (there's no second bathroom or toilet in my rented flat), no garden or bbq, also don't have a tablet. Or jeans or heels.

sleepyhead · 15/02/2021 17:55

A dishwasher
A tumble dryer
A second bathroom
A spare room

I'd like all of those things, but:

  • not willing to sacrifice cupboard space for the dishwasher (and really, the layout means it's probably not practical anywhere).
  • we had a tumble dryer, didn't replace it when it broke and I haven't missed it half as much as I thought I would
  • the other 2 would mean moving house, I love our area and we couldn't afford to live here in a bigger place.

@the80sweregreat

An extra bathroom. Or bedroom. Things people ' can't live without ' apparently
Your home doesn’t have a bedroom?

A husband. It was faulty so out it went Not intending on replacing it

FredtheCatsMum · 15/02/2021 17:57

A car (I live in inner London, and have a bicycle)
A TV (I watch on a good laptop)
An Alexa or anything like that

SirVixofVixHall · 15/02/2021 17:58

Same as you OP. No dishwasher, no tumble drier. One tv. Also I do not have a microwave, electric kettle or toaster.

the80sweregreat · 15/02/2021 17:59

I meant to write ' a spare room' , as in its 3 bedrooms all occupied! My sils who have two adults in their four beds ' couldn't live without a spare one'.
