About the only one I couldn't live without is my APAP machine that keeps me breathing at night.

Definitely my automatic washing machine. I think they are God's gift to women. Sorry if that sounds sexist, but I do the washing in this house!!

Oh, not so much money, Mike. and it's soooo pretty! AND I can sit up in bed with it. Perfect for a cold & wet Sunday morning with me playing on the Mac and someone bringing me regular cups of tea. Now THAT'S divine decadence!

Dishwasher for deffo,

Unlike what Rob says most modern men don't wash-up :)

I went on strike and refused to wash up, my hubby ate out of the only clean thing in the cuboards once which was a frying pan cause there were no dishes left clean :)

I won and he bourght a dish washer, never been without one since
