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?

My recent purchase is a robotic lawnmower. I enjoy gardening but not cutting the grass [there is a lot of lawn] and this is a game changer for me. Saves me time every week and the lawn looks much better!

Seconded (thirded?). Revolutionary. Though the cheap one I got from Aldi was better before it packed it in than the highly recommended one I replaced it with.

You have just made my day.

A second hand piano (and lessons). I'm only 5 weeks into the lessons but the half hour of me time each day it is giving is wonderful.

Oh we just got one of these, in fact are you my husband?

I got this one and it’s alright, but the rice is always slightly overcooked.

Hi, yes it’s called ZeroMouse and costs about £200. I was a bit worried it wouldn’t work but it does. Once you’ve fitted the device you download the app and you can see all the photos of your cats entering or trying to, marked either “prey detected” or “no prey detected”. Genius.

I paid for a week of 'Premium' on a dating app and have now been chatting to and exchanged numbers with a guy who seems lovely. We're going to meet irl soon and even if it leads nowhere it's given me something to smile about for the past few weeks.

More information please this would genuinely change my life

Sorry to be so boring - what baskets did you buy? I need to do this. I’ve avoided due to have yet more baskets but we find it so hard to keep
on top of washing

I like shorts like this underneath because I hate the feeling of having nothing but knickers under a dress! It makes me feel vulnerable 😅 however I got a three pack on Amazon from a different brand that I much prefer - was influenced by a lovely influencer I follow

Metal suction hooks for my tiled shower walls - just 2, to hang loofah/scrubby things on, and a razor holder also for the wall. Tiny things but have tidied it up so much in there!

a satchel style handbag, instead of my usual rucksack,
more presentable

Nespresso coffee machine and ion8 thermal flask. Saved a fortune on takeaway coffee on road trips and the coffee is excellent

+1 for the Henry quick cordless vacuum cleaner, he's amazing. I debated getting him for ages, and use him every day.

Weleda blue gentian and edelweiss contouring night night cream and serum. My skin can't tolerate rubbish ingredients so Weleda is my favourite. Using their cleansing face balm too, and a firming day cream. And rosemary hair tonic too actually.

Waldwerk oak handled cafetiere. Only £20, looks and feels much more expensive.

Variable temperature kettle for all of my different types of loose leaf tea and coffee.

I'm looking at silk pillowcases but I might ruin them in the wash lol.

Couple of extra Contigo travel mugs to use at home, mainly to avoid spills from cups and mugs on carpet but also keep drinks warm. They are from their coloured range, often at reduced prices on Amazon.

Eufy robot hoover / mop!

@summeronthehorizon it was just these from B&M. £6 each. Just makes things that little bit easier!

2 drawer air fryer is used most days.

Frozen chopped onion

Hoka Gaviota Trainers..... they are like slippers for outside. Perfect if you have roly ankles!!

I have one if these also and it's brilliant. So far it has stopped my cat bringing in mice, rats, a grass snake, and a gammon rind, perhaps from neighbour's lunch....

Ooooh! Please tell me more - I’ve been thinking of getting one

How? Sounds amazing. Never heard of it before but will have to look into these!
