One thing you recently discovered that has changed your life

[rosemole]

For the better, obviously.

Can be a thing, person, activity, place...anything really.

Mine is trig bagging. It's so much fun and gets you out there, to unexpected and unknown places.

What's yours?

My full length (fake copies but OK) oodies, which I am wearing over my clothes in the house.
Great for economising on heating.

Better than the onesies, which involve a lot of undressing every time you want a pee;
better than the fleece dressing gowns, which come open and have wider sleeves, up which the icy draught blows;
better than the backwards gown/blanket with sleeves, where you get a cold back when you stand up;
and better than the heated throw, which you can't actually wear round the house.

I am completely sold on this all enveloping, unglamorous garment, and I am WARM.

Can I ask where in southern Spain? Very interested in doing this myself but only know other areas of Spain.

Boiling water tap. No more waiting for the kettle to boil. Game changer 😀

This is lovely 😍

Please post the link and where you get the popcorn salt!

Same. Sports physio told me that one hip is higher than the other (I had hip dysplasia as a baby) and my hips are always clicking and achy. Went for a scan on NHS and they said all is OK. It seems to be whoever shouts the loudest (most pain) is listened to.

I've finally given in to the convenience of shop bought garlic puree. Not as nice as slow roasted in olive oil but saves me an hour, no more stinky hands and smelly house.

I don't know where I've been.

Not everyday things but … travel folding hangers (so many hotels don’t have enough/any), reusable soup freezer bags (stand up properly so you can pour in v easily) and my ninja foodie who I’ve had since Covid and got me into pressure and slow cooking.

Amazing - is this tablets? Any brand?

The NHS Pilates videos on YouTube are the only things to touch my back pain, so glad to hear they've helped you too @Vroomfondleswaistcoat

Another instant pot lover here - I can do a stew (that tastes like it’s been slow oven cooking all day) in less than an hour plus it has a keep warm function. Perfect for bunging on and walking away.

Another vote for audiobooks. I travel a lot for work and am away from home for half the month. My audio books keep me entertained when I’m on my own in the evenings, on planes and at the gym.

Reformer Pilates. Don’t know why it took so long to try it. Nearly 40 and feeling the best I’ve ever felt.

Spill Stopper Lid Cover,2Pcs Silicone Pan Lid 10"&11.5" Splatter Guard Pots Boil Over Safeguard Multi-Function Kitchen Tool Kitchen Gadgets (Green,Red) https://amzn.eu/d/3o7Bilc these are great when cooking rice, pasta, potatoes etc. They stop the water boiling over. Mine are a different make from QVC, but functionally they look the same. Should help those with rice issues!
This video stopped my back pain which was around my shoulders. I do it once a day

Audio books

I also put my shoes on the radiator while I’m getting ready. Makes me feel all Victorian and everything, warming my shoes “on the fire”. 😂

Magnesium supplements daily and Vitamin D.
After suffering debilitating, daily headaches for years, they are MUCH reduced. Also my sleep is so much better. Amazing!
The magnesium took a couple of months to work, but honestly, seems like a game changer.
I take a supplement with all three types of magnesium … which is pricey but was recommended as being high quality.

I have a victorian style airing rack (one that winches up to the ceiling) and ours are the fastest drying clothes in ireland (without the need for a tumble drier).

New non stick pans. Oh my life, I had forgotten how good a new non stick is.

A magnetic strip on the wall for storing sharp knives and scissors etc. Great space saver in our tiny kitchen and safer for the kids.

Saving recipes on the BBC good foods app and actually planning meals ahead of food shopping.

Lifting! Then powerlifting. Best. Thing. Ever.

Sunrise alarm clock combined with putting my coffee maker in the bedroom and setting it so it's ready by the time the alarm goes off.

Souper Cubes Silicone Freezer Trays - I freeze soup, casseroles, sauces in them. Once frozen, I take the individual portions out, bag them up in pairs for me and DH and stand them in a drawer in the freezer. Saves tonnes of space.

Sincere thanks for this one.
Every time I open my freezer an avalanche of tupperware comes out and inevitably cracks when it hits the floor rendering it useless.

Looking into that one!

You must not get out much.

What????? Googling our microwave oven manual immediately!!
