I go first

Today mine was a zimmer frame.....

34 with my first Zimmer, I broke my ankle and 2days post-op. absolutely not confident with crutches!

Oh poor you.

Talcum powder

Sorry about your ankle

I had a hostess trolley for while. A proper 1970’s one, I never imagined that. It was inherited and quite good but I only used it at Christmas so I got rid. Kept the Pyrex dishes though.

in all fairness @copper, talc is a good alternative to shampoo apparently

Haemorrhoid cream. Thanks pregnancy.

Just don’t put talc on your privates.

Litter picker upper because of fatigue due to rare condition I probable always had but never knew I had until I was 36. That is life. I'm glad I never knew before as I got to be completely free and irresponsible and travel.

An alchohol measurer

@BrownEyedGirl80 thats actually really sensible!

@SymphonyofShadows aww thanks, it is what it is now, as long as i have some Moby-aids i'll be able to get around

@Borisjohnsonshairbrush it came today.Lets see if the single vodka I think I have really is a single..

a 9-seater car

A shopping trolly with wheels.

@BrownEyedGirl80 really good idea though.

good way to monitor drinking.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba sounds like a fun bus you have there!
and it actually didn't hurt that much? adrenaline is an amazing thing? just a very bad ache which i just had to channel out. The op has made it much better xx

@AmandaHoldensLips as in like one that you often see OAP'S pulling along or a tesco trolly?

Cinnamon.

When I moved out of university halls at the end of my degree, I went through the cupboards in the shared kitchen and took all the spices that other people had left behind. I ended up with a LOT of cinnamon. It lasted a very long time, but a year or two ago (so about a decade later) I actually ran out and had to buy some

Bladder leak underwear

Dammit

Ooh sorry about your leg 💐
I’ve seen these gadgets recommended on MN for leg injuries. This is one example of many on a Google search:

Going back years, a mobile! I used to think why would anyone want to carry a phone in their handbag. 😂

OK l was wrong. But the first people to have them were so much “look what I’ve got”. It was very Fastshow!

It won't be 😬

face masks 😬

Crocs. I recently bought a white pair (never to be worn away from home) but I like them, especially gardening. (Oh the shame)

I was seriously eyeing up a pair of crocs online only last night... a shoe I’ve been staunchly opposed to owning since the naughties/their release! 😱😱😱

Hay

A double buggy. Every weekend I catch sight of myself in the mirror in the hall as we head out and think wtf.
