You have up to £1000 to make your day to day life better. What do you buy?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I'm in the very fortunate position of being able to invest a bit in some useful things.

I'm wondering about an air fryer. Would that be a good choice, would you say?

What else might be good?

So far I've got:
A really good new mixing bowl!!!!!
Possibly an air fryer
Possibly a new waterproof coat

Taking your friends out to dinner is “buying something”. It’s about memories and friendship and making other people happy as well as yourself. So, yeah, I am a charmer as it goes, if you actually read into the words.

Depending on where you live - membership to art fund or national trust or your local museums, parks etc. It'll mean you can do something nice every single week , so not quite the day to day you requested but I'd still recommend. Hire a skip to massively declutter and be more organised and minimal going forward. Really good coffee machine, set of decent knives, lights for inside your wardrobes and cupboards, print & frame some photos of loved ones and places and put them up in the rooms you spend the most time.

A mulberry handbag. It won't make my life easier but it will bring me joy.

The thread isn’t about making other people happy- but feel free to work yourself up about it if you want to.

A halogen heater and an air fryer.

This is a brilliant idea, or saving £25 per month in a ‘make my life admin easier’ fund for when there’s a good sale.

This reminds me...! A Simple Human waste bin. It closes automatically without clanging, seals in all smells and the branded bags are brilliant and good value because even our modest slim line bin holds masses. Can't believe such a mundane item has improved kitchen life so much.

Oooh.

Motion sensors for certain lights and extractor fans.

Quiet extractor with a motion sensor, comes on and runs for ten minutes more after the motion stops. Game changer.

Lumi motion sensor night lights on key skirting boards if you’re ever up in the night.

Robot lawnmower and an extra vacuum to keep upstairs so I have one each up and down.

Passports for DS and I , so the dream of taking him abroad some day would be in theory achievable, not an every day thing but it would make me happy every day knowing we had them.
A new washing machine ( installed and old one taken away ) current one is very aged and sounds like a jet engine
A new bed for DH, so I don't have to try and fix the old one again, a decent second hand one would be fine.
A new to me sofa, so I don't have to sleep on the rodent chewed one any longer, although this is possibly one of the reasons for my superb immune system !
A skip, possibly a couple. This should probably be the number one thing.

Pay for a cleaner. Once a week!

Get a Nest thermostat fitted.

Replace a knackered window or door.

New blanket and run for living room.

Handy man to fix any annoying things in the house.

Cleaner.

Robot Vacuum definitely

@Dymaxion Passports are a lovely thing to aim for and I hope that you can make it happen.

If I didn’t already have one I’d get a boiling water tap fitted

A Roberts petite radio, comes in lots of lovely colours and under £100 at John Lewis

a tape dispenser

Yorkshire Terrier.

Came here to say robot vacuum but see several others have!

Cleaner.

Dyson airwrap , silk pillowcase , silk pyjamas , facial.

Which one did you get? Does it have good enough suction? I got a yellow shark and it’s feeble

A new cooker.

Teasmade!

Let me know when you find the 3/4 sleeve ones. My DSis has short arms and the long sleeve ones are too long. I searched on eBay this weekend and found none. Thank you xx
