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.

No:

Dishwasher: not fussed
Tumble dryer: live abroad, clothes dry outside in ten minutes
Microwave: broke, never got another
Tv: one main family one only

But..3 bathrooms, two en-suite 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Oh and I’ve never owned a bread bin..I just think I’m rubbish domestically

DinosApple · 15/02/2021 18:34

An iPhone, Alexa, pay TV or pets.

Fish, in a pond, are my type of pet.
I have enough to do with looking after home and hearth (doesn't come naturally to me) and working.

No dishwasher (tiny kitchen), no tumble dryer, no garage, no utility room or conservatory, only 1 bathroom between the 4 of us. 1 tv in the living room, no games consoles. I only miss the dishwasher , loo and the utility. I grew up in a massive detached house with 3 loos, bath and separate shower room, bidet, washroom, storage etc...
