Oh i forgot my specs, couldn’t read my iPad without them

My iPad, glasses and a notebook and pen.

My washing machine- it makes life so much easier.

I was thinking about this, reading the posts, and trying to decide between various “essentials”. Glasses hadn’t occurred to me until I read other Grans saying it, but yes, it would have to be my glasses, as I’m virtually unsighted without them!

Oops lemongrove didn't realise or see that but then I hadn't lost my knife until now. In spite of DH saying "a knife is a knife is a knife" it just isn't. DD has seen one with a circular handle which she thinks would be ideal but it sounds a bit whacky to me. Anyone out there got one of those?

Forgot about my glasses!

Kindle and/or Kindle Fire; phone; laptop; hairspray.

My Samsung tablet. Never thought I'd use anything as much as that, but it's become such a useful thing to have for communication, finding information, recipes etc. Wouldn't like to be without it.....

kindle wine chocolate "Neighbours" (yes, realky, big fan) husband - not necessarily in that order!

Oh I'm another who'd hate to lose her small black handled knife! Had it for years and it's just so comfortable to use, and perfect for getting eyes out of potatoes
Also I'd hate to lose a particular pair of tweezers (black again!) which I've also had for years. I've had others before and since buying these many years ago, but none of them do the job as well.

My left handed bread knife. When we were living between two homes in 2016/17, my trusty knife travelled up and down the motorway with us every time?.

My old fashioned diary and a pen to go with it, they go everywhere with me and I would feel lost without them as apart from dates, appointments etc. I have lots of scribbled notes that are important just to me. Also my Mothers little kitchen knife which I inherited when she died in 1995, I’ve never cooked a Christmas or Sunday dinner without it since.

My IPad! It is my window to the world. I use it for news,
text messaging, online orders, online classes and as an up-to-date encyclopedia. I also use it for ordering and reading ebooks. I also use a weather app to watch the weather. I would be lost without it.

I don’t understand how people manage without nail brushes either.

My varifocals, emery boards (my nails are forever breaking), my HRT pills and most of all, my family.

My bra, my glasses and my teeth.

My varifocal specs!

Lemon, I too couldn't be without tea and gin - it's nice to know they are there. Another thing is my large china mug for tea. I do dislike fiddly little cups or small mugs. I really couldn't do without all my tablets, but I do wonder sometimes if I flushed them all down the loo, would I feel more energetic? I'd add my computer to that list too.

I too love my small black handled knife.lol. But I think I'd have to say my Earl Grey tea!

At the moment my fan, I have it on almost 24/7, I really don't cope well with the heat.

A metal dish my mother had for cooking chops, fish etc. It is easy to wash and can go under the grill or in the oven. When I saw my 47 year old niece recently I told her that I would pass it on the her in a year or so, I want it to stay in the family.
