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?

@gerbilfun - no not really. The lady I go to buys extra fine needles.

Iv been having it for a few years now and I wouldn’t go back. I am pretty young to be having it though.

Rucksack like this one It's cute and fashionable but doesn't absolutely murder my fucking shoulders/back because the weight's spread.

Yesterday I fitted in a bulky laptop, a rolled up hoody, a bottle of water, two lunchboxes and my everyday bag stuff.

Seriously life changing.

Another vote for Roomba and Botox.

A cordless floor cleaner and polisher. I am responsible for the clean floors in 3 houses and I’ve bought one for each property.

We have 3 Echos as adult DC were insistent that they were life changing. I use one for music occasionally but apart from that I find them unreliable and unhelpful.

Gerbilfun - Make sure you stock up though as they sell out really quick! I've got an "arrangement" now with our postmaster - he keeps them under the counter for me!:)

Timbertruck · 19/06/2019 16:42

Aveeno spray moisturiser... amazing.
Instant pot... my most used kitchen thing ever.

Quick question RE Instapots.
When you cook a chicken in it, does it crisp the skin?

Sorry, as you were.

SalemShadow · 19/06/2019 16:50

I love Epsom Salts. I have a hot bath with them and will drop a few pounds of water retention. Plus sleep so well after the bath.

Nunale 'Nail Strengthening Cream'. £3.99 in Boots.

Have been using it every night for about a month & my nails (not long or polished) have never looked so good or been so strong.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 19/06/2019 17:10

@AstroKate @AllyBamma @gerbilfun

I have this one - which is even cheaper than I remember, and in fact I only paid £9ish for mine! I got the "frequently bought together" spare pads for it as well as they were dirt cheap (pardon the pun).

No. It has a saute function so you brown meat before cooking but if you want it crispy you'd need to finish in the oven.

A coffee table and a scented candle. Changes the whole tone of the living space.

creakingknees · 19/06/2019 19:06

Thank you @Oysterbabe Smile

marcopront · 19/06/2019 19:18

Not life changing but life easier making - a wireless mouse. I hate track pads.

GreyCloud0 · 19/06/2019 19:19

I have an echo too and I think it’s crap

CatyaPurella · 19/06/2019 19:20
