to ask what little things make your life easier?!

[goingloombandcrazy]

Some random things I've just realised make my life easier.

Book people (and prob other sites I've not found) put age range of books. I noticed it on the back of fiction books on a book shop the other day. Great when buying gifts!

Websites that accept PayPal.

Just realised I can use the click and collect drive through at asda for direct orders as its not just for groceries. Means I don't have to queue to get into ASDA which I avoid for the summer tourist season as its carnage!

Air conditioning window units. I am useless if too hot. I want central air more than anything but we have no ducts so it would be soooo expensive.

Paypal.

Sales at Old Navy.

my job, its ace! makes it a lot easier to go to work
my best friend - cheesy but after 10 years she is the best
mumsnet - stops life being quite so mundane

SweetSummerSweetPea ASDA easy cook long grain, rinse then cover with water in a pan, bring to the boil, turn heat off and put lid on, leave alone for an hour.... technically not the correct way to cook rice but the hot water absorbs leaving rice fluffy and nice, i then rinse in hot water from a kettle and serve. result every time.

[LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance]

The NHS
antibiotics
hot water on tap

I was not cut out to live in pre 1900s and I'm grateful every day for living in the here and now.

Frozen sliced peppers,saves me having to slice them,they don't go off if not used quickly enough(unlike the fresh one's)and once defrosted they taste great in salads.

Online shopping especially for clothes for me, I hate clothes shopping.
Washing machine.
Tumble dryer.
Sky plus or I'd be forever missing everything I like.
Frozen pastry.
My meds I wouldn't be here without them.
My DH(but he's not really a little thing)he does loads for me and our 5DC

[SlightlyNerdyPianist]

I'm not good with balance, Chanel ;-) and weirdly I don't have any draggable chairs, only some really wobbly stools, which just makes the whole thing even scarier!

I had to buy a toddler step for the top cupboards in the kitchen when I moved to this (normal sized) house from my tiny little cottage style shithole. But sshhhhh.

So maybe toddler steps should be on my list!

[ChanelCristalle]

you must have very high ceilings nerdy pianist! I'm not as tall as you and I just drag a chair over.

[ChanelCristalle]

online shopping, and when I change the sheets I take all the sheets to the launderette and pick them up dry and folded.

[lucyintheskywithdinos]

Yes, the coil.
Ebooks.
Real beer being sold in the newsagents.
My housemates.

[Koothrapanties]

Shadows, can I be really nosy and ask something I wouldn't in rl? How much does it cost to send all your laundry to the cleaners? I hate laundry with a burning passion and would love to do that. How many of you are there and how much is it roughly per month?

[ICanSeeTheSun]

My ipad.

I can change the channel on the Sky+ app, change what I watching on Netflix. Read, watch film, Facebook, MN and shop.

[wobblyweebles]

Depo provera

[SlightlyNerdyPianist]

I forgot one:

Tall friends (I'm 5'3". Lightbulbs are a REAL problem for me!)

[SlightlyNerdyPianist]

Grated cheese
My satnav
Internet banking
Pizza oven trays (the round ones with holes in. I use mine for practically everything as I'm a lazy cow and this means I don't have to turn anything half way through)
Frozen yorkshires
Moleskin diaries
John Lewis (I know, I know, terribly MC, but they really don't quibble when I take stuff back; saves me a fortune in rebuying crap that breaks from other shops who get shirty and refuse)

[ShadowsCollideCantLogInToMN]

Sending all of our laundry to the dry cleaners
Grated cheese (have arthritis so grating cheese hurts my hands something shocking)
Google maps
Regina kitchen paper
Using Aldi Mediterranean flat breads as pizza bases
Renting our house (landlord fixes anything that goes wrong)
Iron supplements
Lovely extended family

[AngusAndElspethsThistleWhistle]

Gin.

[YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar]

Online banking app. Haven't been near my branch in months thanks to it.
Amazon. Never failed to find what I need on there for the best price. Even when a seller wouldn't replace, repair or refund a pair of boots that developed a hole with 2 months of purchase they stepped in and refunded in full.
My iPhone. It's more than just a phone to me. I programmed it to tell me I did a great job today when I leave work and get home. :o
