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?

A full-sized dishwasher. Admittedly it's not plumbed in yet but it's loaded and ready to go! New kitchen nearly done so it'll be done when worktops are fitted.

Shark cordless hoover! It's frickin amazing. Use it 5/6x every day. Love it x

Nothing to add - I'm just making a list!

A jade roller. It's so nice when I'm hot because it gets really cold in the fridge. My face looks less puffy after too.

Googling all these to see if i need them in my life 

@Popc0rn omg I've just googled this and I need it. How does it work. I have to shave everyday in the summer 

@Rarfy I ordered them from silkfred. I've ordered a couple of sets from femme luxe tonight too.

Tried diets for years to no avail before I recently realised I’m happy as long as I can eat prawns every single day. And I’ve lost three stone.

@Cherrysoup we're a family of seven so the amount of washing I do is hideous Confused the cat infested the house last week with fleas and I've had to wash literally everything. If I'd of had one machine I think I may of had a nervous breakdown.

Hey Troy’s where did you buy your insoles from as I suffer from that.

3brightstars3 · 18/06/2019 21:12

Eyebrow mascara, only got one 3 months ago after a makeover and love it !

AnnaNimmity · 18/06/2019 21:15

I think our alexa's are the most used things in the house (we have them in most rooms).

alohadaisy · 18/06/2019 21:15

Zoflora

MaMaMaMySharona · 18/06/2019 21:17

@AnnaNimmity what do you use it for? We got a free Google Home with Spotify and I have no idea what to do with it!

AragonsGirl · 18/06/2019 21:22

I treated myself to an Instant Pot last week and I love it! A whole chicken cooked in 40 minutes

AnnaNimmity · 18/06/2019 21:25

Probably don't use it for much at all really - music and radio mostly. Alarms, shopping lists, asking random questions, getting kids from other rooms. We always have music on.

ferretygubbins · 18/06/2019 21:39

A two wheel bandsaw to replace my old three wheel one. It cuts straight and using the fence I can rip down flooring samples to use a knife handle scales.

@foxfox
It’s Dior Forever Glow. They say you need a brush , but I forgot this morning and it still looks great, and you don’t lose half of it. It’s pretty much invisible, and soooooo flattering.

Zacjosh · 18/06/2019 21:48

Couldn’t live without Zoflora!

Just bought 35metres of Everedge, for my lawn, don’t know how I’ve managed without it for most of my life

LadyVox · 18/06/2019 22:00

I love this sleep mask, from the Alex Steinherr range at Primark. It’s just amazing. I’ve tried tons of expensive skincare and this is the only thing that’s made an immediate visible - and touchable - difference to my face. Soft and poreless!

A'kin unfragranced conditioner. It's so hard to find an SLS free conditioner which doesn't make me claw my hair out! This is amazing- my hair looks brilliant and no scratching due to allergies. I am so delighted.
