[Closed] What's the best thing you have bought for the house recently?

This Jimi Hendrix for the extension

As a back yard astronomer can I make a general plea to folk doing this to try to make sure the lights point down into their garden rather than off into space.

Nice picture btw.

It was in the Black Friday sale... and too big a discount to resist (we actually needed a new kettle, and it didn't cost that much more and still provides standard kettle functions too!)

It arrived yesterday and has been used copiously ever since!

Bought a Bose Soundlink Mini last year and I've not beaten it for a purchase since. Quality, portable, rich Bose sound. Love it!

rich as in your poorer now you have purchased* it?

*owner of some £300 Bose computer speakers that I hardly ever use.

Miele Cat & Dog vacuum. The cleaner lady loves it.

Surround sound system 🙂 Everything sounds better
Next on the list is a sofa as the been bag chair is getting crap, priorities are right I think

One of those positive pressure ventilation units. Miraculous damp remover!

Having had a bloomin expensive Krups coffee machine, that quit working on the frothed and then we couldn't get a replacement jug when it cracked, we bought one of these mucho cheapo. Why are all coffee filter machines not like this? Pull out top and fill within water and coffee (without pulling machine out from under cupboards to fill). Press button. Pour, without any drips, and enjoy.

A gardener.

New BBQ in time for christmas. It even has a window & lights inside the hood.

OS map of Dudley 1896-1904. Also Brum & Southampton (I don't have to justify myself to you people!)
And some new taps for the bathroom sink [i]that actually work[/i] - hooray!

A garage, along with another bedroom, a new conservatory, garden, driveway, kitchen, bathroom....

OK, so it's a new house 🙂

Our long long long process of selling our house is almost complete.
