What would make your life Easier?

[Richy2012]

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the site and love reading all your fantastic advice. So I put a question to you;

What product would make your life easier?

What do you think, A nappy bag that has room for a laptop or a birthday party kit that has everything you need.

Let me know

I don't think a second hand one would be a good idea, it's not like you can stick her on a hot wash.

Could also try I want one of those . com?

Good idea visualiseahorse I can probably even get a personalised one there. DH had his eye on a Boden one, but was a bit too expensive (and pretty) for my liking.

Childcare for DS2.

An underground tunnel to the school doors. Preferably with a worm hole so that it only takes two minutes.

And a butler, to open the under the stairs cupboard door when the wormhole spins DS home from school, in case I'm on mumsnet and can't be arsed to get up.

A cook.

Drugs probably.

Staff.

2 less children

Ooops - I only have 2.

A chef

In all seriousness I would pay someone (who had obvs been crb checked) to take my children to school and pick them up everyday. Like a babysitting service but for school runs only, I hate school runs!

Housekeeper/nanny to do everything I do and should do so I can snuggle up on sofa with dc3 and breastfeed in peace. (but with an endless supply of tea and custard creams of course ).

I would love a good pair of sewing scissors (muse). Feels too indulgent to simply go buy them.

An instant cure and forever prevention of cat fleas (other than getting rid of the moggies, obviously).

A magic wand to make my kids confident, well-behaved and cooperative.

The ability to multi-task (lost it when I turned 45).

A better sense of rhythm.

Something that made my teeth grow back, could remove all my fillings, wow!

For everybody else's kids to stop bragging about how they're allowed to do exactly what they like whenever they like however they like (DC tell me that's the case, so it must be true). When I were a kid, sometimes all we had to talk about was how our parents wouldn't let us do anything we wanted. How times have changed, or what!?

ps: I am so bloody middle-aged, aren't I?! Shoot.Me.Now.

I would adore a pair of scissors that can sew - I am hopeless - and it would save me getting dd1 to do all the sewing jobs

a padded room, like at soft play to entertain DD and keep her safe so that i could turn my back for a second!

Ivy that's funny ....

Housekeeper. I fantasise about her often...what happened to me it used to be fit men and now it's a Mrs Doubtfire I lie in bed dreaming off...

Double number of hours in the day
Ability to survive on no sleep
Dust and grime-repelling surfaces everywhere
Triple quota of patience

a machine to create an exact copy of me to do all the jobs the way I like them - a bit of a control freak here ..

I want my mum to live close by.

AND a blow-up babysitter.

More patience. And an extra 6 hours a day.

Aw. Poor Richy.

A clone, please. Or maybe two. We could all have a high old time if we split the crap in three. One of the me's could be the housekeeper, one the chef, and the other the childcare.

Feck.

I need three clones. I'd have to send the other one to work.

That way, everything would be done exactly as I wanted it.

Alternatively, I could clone dh a few times to do the same jobs. I'd whinge more, but at least it would get done.

I can't be arsed with staff. They have different opinions and standards, and everything.

A cook.
A babysitter
A wishing well
A pair of snow boots
A larger house
Storage
Parents on the same continent
A DS who is not terrible two but about 4 and independent

The mortgage paid off. Does the nappy bag come with that?
