What purchases make your life a bit better recently?

[Fruitbatdancer]

i don’t want some paid influencer to tell me, i want real people to!

• cyberjammies- the best most comfy pj’s I’ve ever had I now have 3 pairs
• snag tights. I’ll never wear other tights again
• Laura gelled face powder makeup- specifically bronzer to go which has a poof and a mirror built in

yours?

Robot hoover and I've just bought a hydrovac so I can mop the floors whilst also picking up any dog hair the robot may have missed. Might sound OTT but I have two dogs and one is a GSD who leaves tumbleweeds every day in the summer.

Could you share which JL dryer please?

Silk pillowcases! I thought it was an old wives tale, but they do actually stop my hair going into a crumpled frizz. You can get cheap ones on Amazon that are perfectly fine.

My house (first time buyers at 40)

A muslin blanket - warm with a blanket on the winter and cool on its own in the summer

A Cool Crutches Walking stick

An electric bed. I spend a lot of time in bed with chronic illnesses so being able to sit up is sooooo good

I’m not sure if this will work

it on Amazon and called Hozelock dual tap connector - currently £10

Thanks - I need to investigate. Sounds like a great gadget.

@hitothewellhole which setting spray please?

Link please!

Thin bath towels. Really hard to find nowadays. Went to a local market recently and was delighted to find some as I didn't think they were manufacted anymore.

Dry your body and hair in a fraction of the time fluffy thick towels do. Dry on the line in no time at all. Great for the environment too.
Might not be luxurious to look at but I cannot recommend them enough.

@midnights92 do you have the Oxo vegetable chopper with the grid/box or the one where you have to push a plunger kind of handle up and down? If it's the first type... is it strong enough to do root veg like carrots and swede? Thanks ❤️

8 new M & S T-shirts one size bigger than normal so they don't stick to me during heatwaves and are nice and cool.

A snoreeze mouthgard. I suspect my snoring was due to sleep apnea. I sleep so much better since using the mouthgard and no longer wake up feeling like I haven't slept.

Eufy robovac and mop. Amazing.

The rice cookers - can you cook in other ingredients or just rice? So for example Chau Sui dishes?

Aveeno clarify shampoo and the matching conditioner have made my hair lovely .

A pink jumper from Sainsbury’s get lots of compliments.

Candles. Just discovered how they calm and regulate me.

while you are buying consider getting one with multiple connections https://www.amazon.co.uk/HOZELOCK-Multi-Tap-Connector-Independent-2150R0000/dp/B000TAR072/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1802LUKEGEEP7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F6FB5pG1-8nxlXqaq6z9HtUy9tli97gMfDW_61g6zGnOl6VTsBi7xLTMHeVg6gWBaTDjmBRo3J-hseUnCieNPpu4SkJxfKlX9vLC_X-Ai5FsDCubLH3Y89b3gkEbJnZtOij8qt8dKjDR96wU9V_Bm6b1rWUQdaBaQbwlw4VopqXwcFRInb4xV6eCmInZogvihDytwpb7i8GpmrGQqcKodEQmIK7VCKzTQU4PPsbczejt0pZHA-fa-Zd_nHYw5yC_roJeT3a9k1H-5c7QjbDEpe_rf6gznaPGvHpGDM0taOg.ehXStDrDE-qVn8kloE8GeimANd6ClOZnS5BER1hu-AQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=hose%2Bmanifold&qid=1780850565&sprefix=hose%2Bmanifold%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.95fd378e-6299-4723-b1f1-3952ffba15af&th=1

Can I recommend Frenchic Al Fresco paint for your front door? It’s so easy to use and looks fabulous.

I got a bicycle for Christmas after almost three decades of not riding one. It arrived in March and although I'm not going far (out for 20 minutes to half an hour) it's brilliant and helping my arthritis.

I don’t mean to hijack but if anyone can recommends a portable air conditioning unit, I would be so grateful!

@Notellinganyone - please tell me where? Thanks

Table top dishwasher for my tiny kitchen (life saver, as I am disabled, and standing to wash up used to be difficult), chopped, frozen onions and garlic (for the same reason) and a silent night heat genie self-heating blanket.

I agree with pp who aren't snag fans, especially for their chub rub shorts - I have recently found some 'bands' which do the job well, without all the extra material making you too warm!

Oooh which one please. Have been through about 5 of the damn things recently trying to find one which actually works.

Ryobi cordless pressure washer. De-webs the soffits/fascias/gutters, garage doors and window frames in my bungalow so quickly. Then I just need to dry the windows with a microfibre cloth. (I do get a bit wet myself while doing it though).

I second the Suri toothbrush. Absolutely bloody awesome 👌

Oooo, what kind ?!!
