Most useful item purchased in lockdown

[CoRhona]

...or items?

Mine have been:

1. A large transparent command hook that I put on the side of a chest of drawers to hang my hairdryer on (I tried lots of other sticky hooks before but that was the only one that actually worked)

1. Buying all the same clothes hangers so DD's clothes look tidier

1. A large kitchen sink tidier which has instantly made the kitchen side less messy

I am on a constant mission to improve our living spaces, so AIBU to ask what yours have been?

2 pairs of warm tracksuit bottoms, a few t-shirts and an oversized warm hoodie. It’s my daily work uniform, so comfy and warm.

[quote CoRhona]@kolo our robot hoover arrived yesterday. Straight out of the box and set to work; then set for a 4am hoover; then again this afternoon. It's like our new very useful toy [/quote]
We've spent the last 24 hours watching it move round our downstairs 😂

Happy to help. I’m 17 weeks post surgery. Very happy. If you want to know anything specific, feel free to PM me.

@Kolo

My DH bought me an OS map of our area for Mother's Day last year, just before we went into lockdown. I made it my aim to try out all the local footpaths I'd never been down. Definitely not done all of them, but have done lots! Ive really enjoyed discovering bits of my local area that I may otherwise have missed.

I have just given myself an OS map subscription - about £25 for the year. I have already wasted hours of my life looking at it!

Folks the robot vacuum does it clean in the corners

@Namechangedididittoo my Eufy - Alfie - does do corners and edges he has a special function to do so if you need it. I have tiled floors and use it for that. HTH

With regards to the robot vacuums, does anyone have one that mops and is it really worth it. TIA

Electric heated airer and a dehumidifier

Can these robot vacuums cope with dog hair? I want one but fear I’d kill it on day 1 here (2 big hairy dogs).

My Eufy robot vaccum cleaner !

I've got two cats (one is long haired) and I seem to shed as much as them
It does a good job picking up the hair but I make sure I clean the brush every day as it's pretty small and would just get clogged up with hair otherwise

@YouAintKingDingALing I have a Rooba iRobot Braava highly recommend.

@KSeason

Bean to cup coffee machine Hotel Chocolat velvetiser 180 piece colouring pencil set Board games - especially Pandemic! Silk pillow covers

We loved pandemic in 2019 but can’t face it now!

Mine - warm waterproof trousers that look & feel like normal trousers from Acai.

Fire pit

Have also worn my Celtic & co sheepskin slippers all day every day and would be miserable without them. Had no idea heated throws existed though - I need one!

Velvetiser - OMG
Is it as amazing as it looks?

Oh also disco lights for home disco parties and some new pretty cereal bowls that make me happy every morning.

@mommybear1 thank you

Velvetiser - OMG Is it as amazing as it looks?

Yes!!! We love ours. It makes the best hot chocolate.

@blametheparents

Only milk or would it froth up water if I was to make an Americano for instance

Velvetiser is great!
