my most valued item amongst a few is a fein supercut, a brilliant multitool, and very useful for diy jobs.

what would your most valued item be?

(nb I’m not particularly asking what your most valuable item is!)

    Probably a boring one for me - my iPad

    It does lots of things - my entertainment, keeps me occupied, I do my study on it and do emails on it so keep in touch with people

    Well....( Not to appear boring) but ive bought a fastastic tool recently to unblock a stubborn sink blockage, after trying expensive chemical products and homely remedies that failed. I bought a pump thing only 2.50 which works well. :smile:

    @66Mustang actually I forgot about my iPad! I totally agree, a most valued tool.

    @sandy123 it’s hair that seems to be the thing isn’t it, very hard to get out usually. We have the same problem but I don’t think your pump thing would work on my particular plug hole, not sure. Is it for sale on amazon, if so I could take a look at it. Thanks ?

    My dishwasher...resisted getting one for years as I have a tiny kitchen a nd thought it would send my water bill through the roof....it didn't, so glad I have it now.
    My ipad and mobile of course.
    My carpet and  upholstry cleaner...a must for anyone with a dog!
    And lastly, Alexa, I no longer have to have CDs just ask her to play me what I want when I want it...loads of relaxation apps too.

    I forgot my steam generator...miles better then a regular iron and automatically adjusts the temp.
    So even though I still hate ironing, I can do it a lot quicker with far better results...

    I also forgot my washing machine, nowt special as such but it does play a merry little jingle when its finished and not the anxiety inducing BEEP BEEP BEEP...which sounds like the bin men are reversing into your kitchen or the countdown to a nuclear melt down....I value a lot of things! Lol

    Oh, I almost forgot totally about the car, very valued item, I don’t know where I’d be without it...actually I do, I’d be at the bus stop.

    For me, it's probably photos and videos of my family and loved ones who have left us.  That and chocolate.   :D<3
