[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?

Mine took.. changed my life. Wouldn't be without.

A mattress hoover
a steamer
Philips Lumea laser
decent skin care la Roche posay game changer

A pressure cooker/air fryer. Don’t understand by everyone doesn’t use one

Festival tickets!
And on a more humble note - I love buying really fancy toilet paper & kitchen roll.
For some reason this really cheers me up !

I have just bought a starter kit from Tru Wash

Its amazing

We are clearing mums rooms out , and there is a lot of cleaning to be done, and its leaving the place sparkling and the smell of the disinfectant makes we want to eat it

Sage Barista - I refuse to buy coffee outside the home

Laura Geller - made up enough in 2 mins without looking dried out and haggard

OMG jumping on to say these absolutely work!

We had bats, frogs, pigeons, sparrows, mice, fuck-off huge rats that I don’t even know how she dragged them in .. and now… several months in the little bastard appears to have given up trying to bring prey in. Hurrah! It was disgustingly messy 🤮 as she mainly
liked to see how far she could smear her prey over the carpet.

As a side bonus.. You also get to see how often neighbouring cats try to come in AND it gives you peace of mind if you are away because you know when your lil treasure is coming in and out( if it gets their belly leaving the cat flap on camera). You just need a chip cat flap, a socket and a phone 👌🏻

A trip to Italy at half-term with my teenager
Over 700£ but so amazing spending time bonding.
Priceless really.

What do you mean about between drying? And what are the baskets like?

My goodness can you please post the details! My cat has brought all sorts in (dead & alive) .normally left as a gift outside my bedroom door🙈

My Snoozeband Silk sleep mask.

Ooh I'd like to add silk bonnets for my daughter's hair.
I can't believe I didn't think of them sooner. Mornings are so much smoother without all the tangles and fuss!!

It’s called Zero Mouse

ScrollingLeaves

What do you mean about between drying? And what are the baskets like?

Just where I previously had overflowing baskets of clothes in from the line that need to go into the dryer, I now have more baskets, and in bright colours😉

Crocs (and I have charms too), I know, I know 🙈 the style and beauty crew will come for me. But damn, they are so bloody comfy.

Are you not concerned about the amount of wildlife your animal, with it's hugely unnatural advantage, is killing, and how much it's disrupting the local ecosystem?
So many bat species are endangered and birds species are under threat because of cats.
Could you keep your cat contained or put a bell on its collar or something for the sake of the wildlife as well as your carpets??!!

Which ones do you have please?

@Fruitbatdancer
Sorry not to be much help but the solar lights have been from TKMaxx - clusters of balls, butterflies and bees and some fancy copper metal style stake lights
The tennis bracelet was second hand from
local jewellers

Martin Jones wooden tulips

Oh dear, I think you might have just enabled me. 😆That sounds amazing and I'm forever trying out new makeup...

Ooh tell me more about this please! Could it be used on a patio?

Logitech keyboard that switches between 3 devices. I have two work laptops so it is very useful.
Keplin two drawer air fryer for £45.
ninja bean2cup.
robot hoover just for daily 5 cats 2 dogs maintenance.
3D printer for weird little things
A narrow table thing that goes between sofa and wall along the back. Has a plug socket.
sally Beauty version of Dyson hair dryer
tymo curler

@Fruitbatdancer they are very pretty

Which LED mask did you go for? Thanks 🙏

A few of mine:

• My Bluetooth earbuds. As I have a sleep disorder and DH is a snorer, night times were frequently a misery till I discovered them. Being a collector by nature, though, I've now amassed more pairs than I really need - oops.
• My Filofax that I use as a notebook/diary and also to journal in if I'm ever feeling a bit ruminative. There's something about its analogue-ness that helps slow my ADHD brain down.
• Also on an analogue-ish note, my books. (I have a Kindle but always have a real book on the go too.)
• And again with the analogue stuff (seriously, not just trying to jump on the analogue trend here 😄 – these are things I find genuinely helpful), I keep a little pouch in my bag that has mini aromatherapy balms and a piece of rose quartz in. I'm going through a very stressful time in my life and the balms definitely help. As for the rose quartz, I'm not particularly woo but the coldness of the stone is oddly calming sometimes.
• And my cats, definitely! (most calming things ever, except when they throw up or bring things in. 😸)

Heated blanket. I have a neurological illness that affects my muscles, my heated blanket is amazing.
I got argos own brand which is perfect, better than dreamland, but its out of stock now so waiting for it to come back in autumn to have a spare.

Microplane- game changer in the kitchen. I've been adding lemon zest to everything and makes light work of garlic and ginger.
