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!

My lovely cleaner.

Not 100% convinced about the internet, having been a functioning adult for 25 years before it really became available via home broadband.

Mum doing our ironing - this started months ago when I'd had C section and was constantly breastfeeding but she still collects it and drops it off every week! I know, I'm spoiled!!

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

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)
