If it got lost, stolen or broken?!
I don't mean the really practical things, such as the kettle or your bed.
But a non-essential item that you would struggle to be without.
Mine would have to be my Oodie. I got an actual branded one from Vinted and couldn't be more in love with it.
Even in summer, it comes in handy in a Scottish basement flat!
So what's yours?

My iPad. I use it all the time. Although frizz-ease is a close second!

I lost my phone last month and had to wait a while to get it replaced, and I was surprised at how little I missed it.

Whoatealltheminieggs · 16/06/2022 23:37

My phone, the hoover, the washing machine, my hairdryer, and my makeup

Non essential?
Maybe noise canceling headphones.

2 flasks which I use every weekday. One has coffee in and the other soup. Both leak-proof and survive a bumpy bike ride to/from work each day.

The DAB radio in the kitchen.

Under-eye concealer

My key holder. It’s small and perfectly formed and so useful and I love it.

Haven’t misplaced my keys in 6 years.

Oh and my Dior lipstick. I would go to jail if needed.

I genuinely can't think of anything that important to me.

Phone, hairdryer, straighteners, under eye colour corrector, concealer and mascara, prescription sunglasses. Over winter the hotel Chocolat velvetiser and a warm dressing gown.

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2022 00:45

Phone and toothbrush and books.

Hawkins001 · 17/06/2022 00:47

My tablet, it's my connection to the www, and all that information, back in the day it was library and bits of information here, bits there, etc now with e.g. Wikipedia etc,and other wikias, it's gold.

Hawkins001 · 17/06/2022 00:48

And to learn any topic, we have YouTube ect, back in day, it was night classes etc

lisavanderpumpscloset · 17/06/2022 00:48

Hair straighteners - I'd be a walking bird's nest

My phone - my life is on it, would struggle to stay organised without it

BrylcreamBeret · 17/06/2022 00:53

Ooh sleep mask, not even 100% for the blackout but because he gentle pressure is soothing and helps me feel less tense at bed time 🙈 weighted blanket is also amazing for unfuddling my brain but too hot atm.

Laptop and phone

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 17/06/2022 01:24

My Alexa. With just me and 2 teens in the house she's my faithful companion

My hiking boots

InMySpareTime · 17/06/2022 06:44

My teapot.
A few years ago my previous teapot developed a massive crack from top to bottom one time I filled it.
I went straight online and bought a replacement that minute.
I did a little skippy clap as I thanked the postman who delivered it the next day.
I love my teapot.

DeadButDelicious · 17/06/2022 06:47

My phone/iPad
My hair crimpers
My handheld fan.

KangarooKenny · 17/06/2022 07:20

Sunglasses. I have such sensitive eyes that I can’t be without them.

11Hawkins · 17/06/2022 07:28

My phone. It's my camera, kindle, music player and mumsnet all in one. Grin
