urgently needed inventions

[greenacrylicpaint]

• a toaster that can be washed in the dishwasher

• drawers with inbuilt vacuum to suck out the crumbs

yes, I've been cleaning the kitchen

A toaster that is completely crumb free including the area where the toast is prepared. I cannot stand crumbs!

A chute that goes from the bedroom to the washing machine to save lugging laundry downstairs.

A special ability to tune out irritating sound but which still enables you to hear everything else normally.

Multi using lamp posts as a means of holding EV charging points.

Underfloor wine vats with a filling point on the kitchen counter.

The crumb catcher is already available as are laundry chutes.

You guys don’t have laundry chutes? It’s not rocket science to build one, it’s a hole in the wall (between the wall studs) with a metal sheath inserted to help the laundry slide. I have one in my house (US)

@Vitriolinsanity I had a laundry/utility room made upstairs. No lugging laundry anywhere, as even with a chute you’ve got to take it back up again!

Dc with an on/off button or at least a volume switch..
Ddogs that absolutely don't shed..
Dcats that never puke up a fur ball when you +guests are eating birthday cake..

In fairness laundry chutes have fallen out of fashion in new builds. I think the hay day was for houses built between the ‘40s and ‘70s

drawer vac

the crumb catcher is rubbish.
crumbs stick to it. ditto the crumbs on the 'elevator'.
maybe I should clean more often

Multi using lamp posts as a means of holding EV charging points.

Ooh clever! You should invent this.

These exist; my friend has one near her house in twickenham.

I used to live in a house with a laundry chute. Freaked me out at first, but it was really handy.

@greenacrylicpaint i've got a central vac system and have several floor access points for sweeping and i don't have any issues. the wide crumb tray looks easy enough to wipe down every now and then.

I have a laundry chute and it’s amazing.

I want a whisk that flattens for easy washing.

my current house just has the laundry room next to the bedrooms.

the collapsible whisk sounds awsome.
would stop drawers jamming.

Telepathic backscratcher.

Already exists. I'm sure they have some in Oxford

Easier for licking off the batter, too. 🤣

A hoover or magnetic device that removes lego from the floor and deposits it on a box

The collapsable whisk exists!

ALREADY A thing in London and Brighton

GPS trackable microchips.

A special ability to tune out irritating sound but which still enables you to hear everything else normally.

@Vitriolinsanity try Loop or Flare earplugs.

There was a post a while ago about re-designing bras. So I have been giving it some thought.

The cantilever shelf bra. Picture this: some lead weight on the back of your bum, like a bustle, held by a waist or hip belt. Then two rods going up the side of your torso, with a shelf at the front on which your boobs can rest, the weight of boobs being balanced by the weights at the rear.

I know, call me a genius. I hereby now freely give up the patent so that the good women of Mumsnet can benefit in perpetuity.
