12kg direct drive LG washer. 2nd biggest you can get. Washing for the house has gone from an unmanageable 7-9 loads a day to 3 tops. Life changing.

Hercules 500 mixer and an Omni turntable. Been flogging myself as a one man band MSP the last 2 years. Got this for a self bday prez last year. Been using it to wind down and have some hangouts w my stepkids. Music is great for breaking barriers and DJing im finding is a way to keep kids in touch w music as their peers fall out of the early childhood learn X instrument phase.

Simple stuff but huge returns. Next up is plumbing in and getting a dishwasher.

What in the world is going on in your house that requires 7 loads A DAY? Is everyone in your house a germaphobe? Do you run a hotel?

It just blows my mind. I run maybe 1 load/week, tops, sometimes every other week.

Lol kids + rabbits + in-laws who own dingos. All it takes is for one rabbit to piss on a doona, one kid obliterating 3 pairs of clothes in a day via mud/dirt/being bush rats (then multiply that by 3) and doing a house load of sheets or towels and blamo. 7 loads easy. Or atleast 7 small loads. Now 3 tops generally.
