Like yourself, I couldn't live without my large, sharp kitchen knife. I use it to break into everything as the whole world seems hell bent on packaging itself into extinction !! I am often to be found cursing and shouting at whatever I need to get into, from food to bl..dy Amazon. I may seriously die of malnutrition any day soon ...

I think my electric tin opener would be it. I've always struggled with the normal ones as I'm left handed.

(Trust me to be awkward) 😳

Hi my friend

I have one of those grab sticks for when you drop things. It is invaluable as I am always dropping something!

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken :) :)

Hi Ken....Have those picky-up-sticks all around the house and in the garden as hubby cannot bend due to back problems and although I can bend it is extremely painful....only problem is the grand children love them!!!

Cheers Trikki

thats a tough one, i have so many gadgets plus a tool collection any man would die for.

i used to do all my own DIY. carpet laying, laminate floor fitting, design and build cupboards wardrobes from mdf to fit any space. to laying in bed too ill and in too much pain to move. sigh...........yes i am female i just never relied on a man ;)

but, battery operated jar opener, electric can opener, special peeler that has a slicer that attaches. on my walker i have back scratcher, grabber for when i drop things, fly swat ooooo cant live without that, pair of grips to open close things as cant do it by hand, scissors, pad a pen for all those ruddy phone calls to the dss and other rat bag companies lol my tablet and mobile phone so i can keep in touch with the outside world. but last but not least

MY FILTER COFFEE MACHINE, no wayyyyyyyyyyyy could i live without it. filter coffee all day long mmmmmmmmmmm and relax lol

so no cant put it down to one thing, too many things make life just that little bit easier :)
