My washing machine was packing up so I panicked ( no washing machine here would be carnage) and ordered a new one. In the time the new one came out current one seemed to have sorted itself out. Thankfully we had a space for it to go in the kitchen and dh plumbed it in. So now I have two washing machines and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. When the old washing does finally pack up I shall be replacing it sharpish. It's literally made my life so much easier. Sad I know Confused

Olives. I tried olives about 4 months ago and am hooked on them. But only green ones in lemon and herbs.

Loungewear. Bought a couple of sets online a few weeks ago and I love them! So so comfy.
Also got my first ever trainers last month Grin I'm 35. Is this a semi midlife crisis?

My glamglow products (moisturiser and setting spray) Grin

Tesco scent boosters as you shouldn’t put conditioner in with a towel wash

Baby video monitor (admittedly this is over 3 years old now but it’s so useful)

gerbilfun · 18/06/2019 20:11

@TheTrollFairy have to agree with the video monitor. Best thing ever. Can't believe I did have one with my 1st.

Our Roomba! Can’t believe how much of a difference it’s made, and we’ve only had it a week!

Philips Lumea IPL machine, amazing only having to shave once a month! And hopefully only once every 6 months by this time next year Grin

Huggies wipes. Actually come out of the packet one by one.

Formula storage pots make preparing a feed so much easier too especially combined with the perfect prep.

Ooh where is your lounge wear from @gerbilfun I love lounge wear.

A car that parks itself. I consider myself a good driver but I'm crap at parking.

Loose tea tea-pot.
One with a basket to put the leaves in.

I used to think it was poncey nonsence, and tea bags were perfectly fine.

No more. Loose tea for life on a weekend morning. (Sadly still tea bags at work)

Benefit Porefessional primer - bloody brilliant.

ThinkWittyThoughts · 18/06/2019 20:26

Elbow Grease (the cleaning product)

Cherrysoup · 18/06/2019 20:27

God, I love threads like this. 2 washing machines?? What do yo7 do with them both (I mean, duh question, but I can’t imagine needing two!)

TroysMammy · 18/06/2019 20:30

Orthopaedic insoles. After a few weeks of plantar fasciitis the pain went within a few days. I'm too scared not to use them as I don't want to experience excruciating pain like that again.

Abibranning · 18/06/2019 20:30

Modibodi knickers omg, game changer no leaks no worries and so comfortable

A bread maker that I bought when my favourite loaf stopped being produced at the local Tesco.

Salicylic Acid.

SamBaileys · 18/06/2019 20:36

Body shop shea hand cream. Love it.

Beclaboo · 18/06/2019 20:36

@Abibranning I was looking at these! Are they comfortable to wear as in did you find them more absorbing than wearing a pad?

Processedpea · 18/06/2019 20:37

A small teapot for 2. So useful and makes lovely t

TheTrollFairy · 18/06/2019 20:37

@DifficultSituation19 I wanted to like that primer but I hate it. I have like 3 of the buggers too 🙄

Ohyesiam · 18/06/2019 20:38

Dior foundation. Ive had the word radiant used a lot about “ my”skin.

I know this sounds v superficial, but I’m getting married next month and suddenly these these have become more important than usual,

Abibranning · 18/06/2019 20:41

@Beclaboo very, very comfortable, really soft. I don't notice the extra padding and not 'drying' like pads. But no leaks even all day on day 1.

foxfox · 18/06/2019 20:43

@Ohyesiam which Dior foundation are you using? I need some radiance in my life!

FrontRowSeat · 18/06/2019 20:49

Someone on here recommended W7 Porefection primer - about £3 on Amazon and it’s brilliant!!! About to order my 2nd tube.
