What's 1 ' boring' thing you'd be able to have?

Just a bit of fun! I love to hear other people being ' boring' adults too! 😂

Mine is a dishwasher! Kitchen is too small so until we move, it's the only fashioned way for me!

A pantry would be wonderful, and a laundry chute sounds fun too! I used to live in flats with communal rubbish chutes, and I must admit I lived dropping stuff down them - as long as no idiots had blocked then chucking a scooter or a clothes airer down them.

To of my list, though - I'd love a rotary dryer in the garden. At the moment I don't have space. I really, really miss having one.

Two loos. A dealbreaker for me

I'd love a utility room.

I also would love a coat stand but have no room for it in my hallway.

Just last week I became the proud owner of a car roof box!

Utility room. With the soap powder in a big glass jar on the side 😊

I'd like a driveway or allocated parking. The rage I feel when someone has parked outside my house (on a public road with no restrictions) is really quite unreasonable.

A lift. I have a 3 storey house and chronic pain 🤦🏽‍♀️

I'm fine without a utility room which I didn't think I would be (had an area in the porch in previous house) but a boot room would be amazing. Why are there so many shoes?!

I would also stick with a small kitchen as it's easier to clean but I'd love less bathrooms, we have 4 including the downstairs toilet. Obviously thought that was amazing when we bought the house but ffs the cleaning!!

richardhammondsgoatee · 25/05/2022 21:32

I realise it's all back to front meant to wish for MORE not less!

I really want one of those airers you hang from the ceiling, lower it and hang clothes on and the pull it back up.

I had one of them over the stairs in my old house , I loved it and miss it so much !

TerryChoc · 25/05/2022 21:36

We have a 3 story but the kitchen is by far the smallest room in the house! And I mean small. So my boring thing would be an extra cabinet or at least another inch of counter space.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/05/2022 21:37

All of the above!

OooohAhhhh · 25/05/2022 21:37

We really want one of those instant hot water taps!

Has anyone got one? Make me jealous & tell me how good they are! 😆

A cast iron frying pan with ridges

Have a look on the Auction site Simon Charles, I got a cast iron Dutch oven from there made by Lodge , it was only £12 , I love it .

( I don't need to go to the gym though after lifting a few times in one day ! )

I would like a gas fire instead of the absolutely useless hot air blower electric fire installed a few years ago because it's safer it couldn't melt a block of butter if you put it in front of it for an hour.

Playroom for the kids and all their shit (toys.) :D

Anjo2011 · 25/05/2022 21:47

Id love a porch.

They’re pretty hideous IMO unless you want a free facial with every cup of tea and the risk of third degree burns. Or maybe my friend just has a crap one??

ivfbabymomma1 · 25/05/2022 21:55

A utility room!!

lurchermummy · 25/05/2022 22:06

A big posh camper van

theMedicinalPorpoise · 25/05/2022 22:08

A greenhouse

CheshireCats · 25/05/2022 22:09

A field.

romany4 · 25/05/2022 22:14

A walk in closet for all my boots..
Like Carries in SATC...

IncyWincyGrownUp · 25/05/2022 22:42

A dining room. We have so little space, and that extra bit of family space would be a massive help.

abblie · 25/05/2022 23:01

She shed so I can be on my own

FindingMeno · 25/05/2022 23:04

A porch for coats and shoes.
A dry cellar.

LondonQueen · 25/05/2022 23:39

A wine cellar, my house has pretty much all the above suggestions already.
