A ‘piece of nonsense’ question!

I can relate to you, Petra, although I still do the cooking (love it!), but the garden is solely my responsibility. OH and I share the shopping, and he also cooks his specialities. I would not be without my washing machine or lawn mower!

Well, not the people who've kept their washing machines, lemon.

Its a bit much expecting me to do all the smalls!

MissAdventure, I'm with you re the cooking... hate it!
Couldn't do without my electric blanket.

Just my smalls MissA or everybody’s on here? ?

I could take your smalls home and put them in my machine.
(Knickers, that is, not grandchildren, because they make too much noise in the drum)

My hair would look a bugger without the hot styler ?

Petra both our DD’s have DH’s who do all the shopping and cooking too, yes, you are all very lucky!

Agreed. As long as I keep control of the remote, of course.

You could keep your tv and we could all come round and watch it?

Though hang on just a cotton-picking minute.....

I'm not losing the telly, am I?

Can we negotiate? I could live without a fridge - we've got a cool cellar with a stone floor. Then perhaps I could swap my washing machine for a washer/dryer, and keep that and the dishwasher.

My hair's going to look a b**gger without a hairdryer though.

Washing machine, I hate cooking but it`s a necessary evil.

washing machine - never ever dry my hair with dryer. Shake, tussle and go

I regard my computer as a domestic appliance - it's in the house after all.

Without it, I couldn't pay bills, order books from the library to pick up later. I couldn't buy food or indeed anything else I need, from clothing to medication.

Nor could I talk to my good friend in New York every Sunday, or send emails to family and receive links from my son which send me scurrying to TED for the latest talk.

Or to Future Learn to take another fascinating course.

All else I could do without, if I had to, but not my PC.

Who in their right mind, our of all appliances, would choose to keep their IRON?????

Washing machine, yes, as some might say "no brainer" but iron????)))

My coffee maker without a doubt.

DH, he is very versatile and very useful.

I'm the same as Petra my husband does all the shopping and cooking. I hate cooking.

Like Daddima I need my vacuum cleaner for all the dog hairs,

My kettle.

Washing machine or dishwasher ,hate washing up

Fridge/freezer Halogen oven
When we had kitchen redone a few years ago the only thing that stayed plugged in was our American style fridge freezer.

We managed with a halogen oven.
If it hadn't been Feb/March could have used barbeque.

As others have said can always send laundry out.

As we have mainly hard flooring a broom instead of a vacuum would be just fine.

I would like to keep my hairdryer.
Always thought I could never manage without a hairdryer until we went on a two week sailing holiday with no hairdyer.
My hair on return was in amazing condition according to my hairdresser?

Oh I love food!
Eating is my favourite hobby

MissA do you enjoy food though or do you just eat to live? I do hate actually putting away the shopping

I would totally give us cooking and shopping if I had someone (anyone!) else to do it.

I've no interest at all.

Gosh petra I don’t know anyone ( woman) like that re the cooking. I know plenty of couples who share it and plenty where the wife does it all but you are a rare creature
