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?

Oh gawd, this thread is sending me down an Lakeland rabbit hole, I can feel it coming on...

What does it do? Sounds brill.

An instant pot! It's fantastic and saves me so much time and effort after a long day.

yes x 1000 but don't use them when you make soup and then blend it with a stick blender unless you want shredded plastic with your leek and potato or indeed any other sort of soup! I did this and it was a disaster. However I love the liners for all the other stuff I make in my slow cooker

my children becoming adults so i never ever have to speak to my dickhead of an ex again.

Gardening - I find it very theraputic and satisfiying

I’ve been using these for just over a year and they’re so great! The food actually tastes nicer too as it’s not getting stuck to the side of the slow cooker. I found slow cooked food was always tasting the same but now I can taste the flavours! Plus the fact the slow cooker doesn’t have to soak for days now is a bonus!!!

Oh and walking. Im the laziest bugger in the world and hate exercise. I always thought walking did nowt, but I just discovered that its quite the workout and I can do it without dying every day. Score.

Omg no! 🤣

My little plot of seeds turning into veg indoors been meaning to do it for ages and now have

A weighted blanket. I’ve never had such uninterrupted sleep!

Mounjaro
AliExpress!!

This. So much quicker and easier then a shredder

@secondsoutthere what does the extra spin do? I'm going to try it!

Mine's similar to yours - geocaching. Started in lockdown when there was bugger all else to do and we have kept it up, more March - October than this time of year to be honest but it has taken us on so many interesting walks that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

Mounjaro found on AliExpress?

so obvious that this was a stealth post to draw attention to the OP’s own website 😆

Genius!

I only watched the first Bridget Jones film recently (yes, yes I know). This made me think of the blue soup incident.

I want a heated throw but Argos are sold out. Any good contenders? I think they will help me and DS go to sleep quicker.

My favourite thing over the last year has been sleep masks. I have one with a gel insert, which is comfy and a bit like a weighted blanket for the eyes, and building a collection via TK Maxx of these which are lightweight and rather lovely.

Also got DH a Panda pillow for Christmas and he really rates it.

Aircraft Powerglide mop. No more dragging the mop and bucket in from the outside store and filling it up.
Just switch on, and glide...

Try geocaching too.

Temu and Shein

I love them but seemed to be cursed with buying rubbish ones, have had throw after throw fail and it is such a disappointment as in theory they are a wonderous thing. This winter i splashed out in one from Lakeland and it lasted all of a week. I got my money back and bought one from Amazon, it heats up in a patchy way and is disappointing. I have had one from Johm Lewis, packed in after a month, the replacement lasted a year which I wasn;t impressed with. Conversely my budget electric blanket has been a godsend for longer than I can remember.

Heated throw. Absolute bliss.

Noe you're just showing off 😂
