Too ask what you've bought/tried recently that you can not live without?

[gerbilfun]

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

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 I'm 35. Is this a semi midlife crisis?

Philips Lumea
Memory foam mattress topper and pillows
Custom made ear plugs
Dyson cordless with all attachments

My friend has a huge kitchen with 2 dishwashers. Genius- one can be on and the other loading up. You would need extra crockery I guess but her worktops are always clear of clutter.

L'ORÉAL Steampod hair straighteners. An absolute game changer. Have gone from a frizzy mess to smooth silky shiny hair that stays until next wash! I own all the Dyson hair gadgets and can honestly say that for coarse frizzy hair this is far the best product you can buy.

Sleeping without pillows. I tried so many over the years but was never really comfortable or woke up with a headache. The last few nights have been life changing.

FitFlop Rally sneakers. So comfortable.
Cleaning products and cloths for each bathroom. Now I don’t have to carry one set round I do clean them every couple of days.
Papier mid-year diary. Beautiful and does just what I need.

My singer sewing machine, bought it from Lidl. So easy to use, I love it.💕

A nutri magic. Best gadget I've ever had.

@iamsuchagrump could you post a link to the steam mop? Tia.

@Popc0rn oh that sounds amazing. I'll have to put it on my Xmas list 😊

Elemis neroli pro collagen face balm, just beautiful and really helps me relax. Can be used as an everyday cleanser or a mask

Not recently, had it a year but my Dyson V10, brilliant thing.

A furminator for the dog. Game changer.

Instant pot, I can pressure cook and walk away whilst it's on.

A proper hand held fan that you open, really helpful for those hot flushes and only £3 on e-bay.

Heated Airer from Lakeland. Life changing. Seriously.

Merrell walking boots. I walk a lot and boots either don't last or they rub/hurt. These feel like walking on air, no blisters, no sweaty feet, cold wet feet.

Botox

I got a £15 spray mop off Amazon and it's been a revelation. I have cleaned my kitchen more times in the last 2 months than I have in 15 years of living here (seriously - although for part of that I had a cleaner so she did it, but still...)

It just sits behind the door, ready filled and I can whip it out for a minute, then put it back.

Oh @BuzzShitbagBobbly link please! We have a dog and I love a good mop x

@Anarchyshake what brand of mattress topper did you get?

My must haves:
Closer to nature perfect prep machine - saved my sanity especially in the early days of all night feeding
Go-To Face Hero Oil - I always get comments about my skin when I’ve used it
Sabco super swish spray mop - no more lugging the mop and bucket out, can mop the whole house in one go with the built in reservoir

@BuzzShitbagBobbly I wonder if we have the same mop

Ooh love these threads there was a fashion and beauty one a while ago. Great to hear real experiences.

@Spidey that's the only one from this thread that I'm now wanting!

Shark liftaway
Lumea - early days though but looking good so far
Koh cleaner. That stuff kept popping up on Facebook and I succumbed. Have a sparkling oven door now

Could we please have links to some of the products when you post about them?
I'm always interested in new stuff and sometimes it's a better and more honest review from you lot than the ones on the websites

I've just brought a pair of Vans trainers - the first pair of trainers I've brought myself since high school 15+ years ago. I can't believe how comfy and versatile they are!

A shark cordless stick with two batteries and all the attachments.
Best £350 I've ever spent.

A dishwasher changed our life

A fridge with plumbed in filtered water and ice setting. Genius.

A cordless iron. Perfect.

@BuzzShitbagBobbly oh I've got a spray mop too. It's bloody brilliant!

@GreyCloud0 I'm seriously considering Botox. Does it hurt?

So many people say dishwasher. I hated ours so got rid and much prefer to just wash up.
