Ooooooooh, that is so hard.
Thinking out loud ....
Those I could live without ....
Iron ~ I moved nine weeks ago and still haven't unpacked it.
Blender/juicer/coffee grinder/coffee machine/dishwasher et al .... the toys one thinks one needs but ...
Dryer ~ use it daily but I did wear dry uncrumpled clothes before I got my first dryer 15 years ago .... though dispensing of it would necessitate the iron ...
Tele ~ I looooooooooooooooooooooooove Living Channel and Food TV but did live for a year without a TV.
Those I'd hate to be without ...
Washing machine ~ c'mon, who wants to do it all by hand, though I have ...
Fridge ! c'mon .... this is the 21st century
Radio ~ easy out here; if I think of battery operated rather than plug-in, it doesn't really constitute an appliance. But I couldn't live without a TV AND a radio.
Computer ~ I'm sure I could opt out here by saying that my puter is a tool of trade and therefore an essential. Forgetting that, my life would truly be the lesser without a net-capable computer. I say that because I actually own a 1946 typewriter and an IBM golfball electric so could do all the functional typing worky stuff. But the internet has revolutionised my life.
* Without it I'd not have met (iin some cases, literally) youfolk
* I found the love of my life via a website
* I haven't been inside a bank for three years as I do my banking online
* I have made probably thousands of dollars selling useless (to me) stuff on Trademe
* At lonely times the puter provides a window to the world
* I read papers /news/trivia/jokes .... online ~ expanding my mind, wasting my time, keeping me in touch. In 05/06 when hospitalised and in rehab for 9 months, the net enabled me an normalcy my body denied me.
* I'm addicted.
HANDS DOWN ~ my puter!
