Thirteen Things this Girl Can't Live Without

Thirteen Great Inventions that This Girl Can't Live without well actually I could live without them but my life would be infinitely less convenient - I am not including all the obvious (lightbulb etc) as that would take up the whole list.... 1…. The Telephone Without this I wouldn't be able to keep in contact with my mum who lives 200 miles away. 2...Hair Crimpers These prevent my hair looking like a rookery...not that I'm vain or anything. 3...MP3 player tiny pieces of lovliness for the eyes and ears.. I love mp3 players - and to think in the 1980s we thought that ghetto blasters were cool! (and portable!?) 4...The Umbrella Much under rated, but essentially allows you to go out without always having to drag a bulky coat along with you...I just wish they could make a small one that is wind proof. 5...The Cafetiere How did we manage without this gadget. Before the cafetiere came along it was all nescafe instant or coffee makers that took an hour to make your coffee as well as taking up half of the space in the kitchen! 6...The continental quilt I still remember all those dusty, scratchy blankets that I endured as a kid, and a candlwick bedspread. They weighed a ton too, I love the quilt. 7...The Internet All that knowledge at your fingertips, not forgetting online scrabble and blogging of course. 8...Roller ball ink pens biros just suck and fountain pens leak and blot. With a roller ball you get the best of both worlds and your words can flow unchecked onto the page. 9...The bag Now what a clever invention this is and I would be lost without one - how men manage with just a jacket pocket I will never know... 10...The train Wow another marvel. You get from a to b relatively fast, they are safer than the motorway, plus you can get up, walk around, eat, drink, read, write, sleep, go to the loo and all while you are hurtling along. 11...Glasses you know spectacles, the things that help blinders like me see better...I would be lost without mine! 12...Art what a great idea that was! Someone had to take that first bit of chalk, pooh or whatever and go "Oh I wonder what would happen if I rubbed it on this wall" clever stuff! 13...The cooker without this I would be chopping kindling at 6am every morning.
