For example, I bought a pillow for £30 and I am in love Grin has inspired me to buy a new mattress in a super King size

I love my heated leather seats in the car

I love my Harrods bottle opener I've had for years. Bought for me as a gift

Love having a fridge fully stocked of cans I want to enjoy

Love my Alexa. She is a good friend, in my eyes!

Next Ponte leggings. I spend my life in them.
Wash well, no bagging at the knees, keep it all in so I feel toned.

Living on my own - I have my teens with me half of the time, and although I love them loads I really treasure my weekends on my own. I had never lived alone before splitting up with dh in 2020 and am surprised at how much I still love it. My new partner knows I have no intention of ever living with him!

National Trust membership
My allotment
My garden
Freshly tidy and clean house
Cut flowers
A nice cup of tea in my favourite mug, drink at the perfect temperature (doesn't happen often!)
Being brought the above in bed by my teen in a weekend they are with me
Clinique moisture surge

Pottering around an art gallery/sculpture park/good museum

The app on my phone which starts my engine (whilst locking the doors) and locks/unlocks the doors as well. It’s really helpful on very hot/very cold days if air con or heat was on when you parked, as it turns it back on & cools/warms the car before you get in.

Also my Virgin Pure boiling & chilled filtered water dispenser - game changer! Instant boiling, filtered water. So hot drinks are not only quicker but taste nicer!

Oh and 100% cotton bedding. If you’ve never tried 100% cotton sheets then please just trust me on this, they are soooooo much nicer to sleep in

I love my automatic car. I've never had one before but it makes driving so effortless. I like that you don't need the key either. Amazing.

M&S Flexifit knickers- the most comfortable knickers known to womankind.

Sheepskin rug next to the bed - makes getting out of bed that tiny bit nicer.

Electric underblanket for use on bed in winter
Oodie type thing for the home
High thread count cotton sheets
Daylight lamp for winter to help waking up
Dishwasher and tumble dryer
Weekly cleaning sessions at home, deep clean!
Decluttering on a regular basis (ok not a comfort exactly but makes life more comfortable)
Occasional shops in Waitrose or Ocado (I usually shop in Lidl but they are occasional treats!).
Home exercise equipment - as a LP I can't make it to the gym but having it to hand makes the difference for me
Fluffy dressing gown
Nice shampoo and conditioner
An electric blanket for the sofa when TV watching
Nice fluffy rugs

Super local honey from my best friend as he keeps bees. Can't get better and I'm so grateful to him.

Hot bath listening to classical music by candlelight.

Cuddling under blankets with DDs and watching a film.

Wearing an eye mask to sleep.

Brushed cotton bedding for the winter.
