Wow that is a tough one, I mean obviously my laptop but what else, I could do without the kettle because I could use the hob. I could do without the hob because I could use the slow cooker, I could do without the slow cooker and just use the oven.

My washing machine – I struggle now to get below the top of the basket let alone to the bottom and if I had to hand wash we’d never have a thing to wear! We are a family of 5, 2 of which are under 5 and both love dressing up and choosing their own outfits which means a lot gets put in the washing basket, not to mention the 11 yr old who thinks tidying her room means putting clean clothes with the dirty laundry!
