What purchases make your life a bit better recently?

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?

I was the first rice cooker commenter - we have rice 3-4 times a week, hence why it's so important to me!

We eat rice daily. Some of us do.
I have a Russell Hobbs rice cooker.

We eat rice or pulses about 3 times a week and use the rice cooker for making other types of food as well.

Rice is normal food and cooking it (or lentils, or barley) about 3 times a week for various dishes is not ‘obsessed’ with it. A large proportion of the world’s population eat it at every meal.

I don’t have an airfryer as I’d never use it, but I don’t think its a mystery why so many people love theirs.

@hitothewellhole What’s a cupboard drying rack please ?

Ooh do you have a link?? Need a destress

@Rm2018 linked above

New bras and throwing out my ancient raggedy ones

Ethiopian Airlines! So only helpful if you're heading (via its hub) to Sub-Saharan Africa, I'm afraid. But definitely a great deal.

Do you have a link?

Love my rice cooker...has one now for 30 years..used three times a week...won't ever be without one now although they last less time than they used too...

I live on a farm I have no neighbours.

Mine has been my heated blanket how on earth I've survived without one I'll never know

Winbot, window cleaning robot.

Game changer if you have large windows.

Wow, so interesting, thanks. I’m very impressed that you go to such lengths! But I agree fully on the value of having things organised!

Ooh? Please can you tell me more? We have large windows and really need help with them since I damaged my shoulder!

It is amazing, I have large windows and a few glass balconies, came across this and bought it, it’s not cheap, but I was finding it hard to find a window cleaning company, and when I did it was costing me a fortune anyway.

It has a rechargeable battery that lasts for 3 hours or you can run it off the mains, it is a bit heavy moving the base but I can do it with one hand even bringing it up and downstairs , they have lighter models I think.

It gives a far better result than I could ever hope cleaning my windows myself, but I don’t think it gives as perfect a result as a professional window cleaner. But it’s so convenient, and more cost effective in the long run, I love it !

Winbot w3 Omni is the one I have, https://www.ecovacs.com/us/shop/winbot-window-cleaning-robot/winbot-w3-omni

Electric hot water bottle. I didn't even know they existed until I had one as a gift but I love it

one of those portable power bank things with 4 different types of charging thingies on it so I can always top up my phone or my headphones or my kindle with one handy little gadget. life changer on trips or long days.

tubing mascara - think it's only from maybelline or similar but it doesn't budge even with the new oil based moisturiser I use that made all previous mascaras completely useless.

A new dishwasher.

@hitothewellholewhat is the cupboard drying rack please? I’ve googled but still no wiser!

Let me find out..

A draining rack in an open-bottomed cupboard over the sink. Handy if your sink is against a wall, not if it's in the more usual position by a window. www.marthastewart.com/finnish-dish-drying-cabinet-11821024
