Necessity is the mother of invention……..
If you were to invent something what would it be……….what device or contraption would make your life easier…….. one for something you have to do daily maybe which is a boring chore, heard men moaning a lot that they find daily shaving a tiresome chore, maybe some kind of a mask you clamp on the face, press a button and hey presto let it do it’s work while you do something else, would be a good timesaver in the mornings……..I have a robot vacume so that takes care of the floors, but I hate dusting, would love a device I could place in a room, switch it on and it would draw all the dust from everywhere into it, bit like a dehumidifier but one for the dust…….any budding inventors out there ??

Starlette, most of everything I do daily or weekly thing is hoovering several times a weeks I annoying mostly is getting the cat hair from the lovingly cat, its bugs me with long hair, but it I have to do it. The washing and drying, ironing does not bother to me, I slung a few cds and I am happy away listening while the chores. The really find thing I do the worst is eating food, not the part that does the preparing food the actually eating, why can’t I just pop a pill for the sustenance to have my necessity of nourishment. It always bugs me for many many years to eat, I suppose some people love that tasting and eating food is one of those not for much a chore of eating, to them they probably enjoy the actually of eating.
Buying food from shops is can be a bit of a bind for buying for the single person, a lot of food seems to be multiple foodstuffs, even for one fresh meats even those can be just in quantity that still is more than what I need. There places that are not always with portions that require, like the other day, when I went to the Morrison I ask for several two different meat pies, which was for in a double package, I was happy for those to make the odd snack in dinnertime, but no the lady at the counter was insisting to buy me a four pie package for two different meats pies making a total eight pies “Oh you buy those its off got a discount”
these things that annoy me when I can’t have not even my own suggest without a lady trying me to get sell more off stuff. Oh yes the necessity of invention definitely was the female come up with that it , hahaha.
My, do we go on with a lot on talking, sorry went on a bit.
Hi teddyted, well I have only ever met one other person like yourself who found it a chore to eat, he just was not interested in food at all, he ate to stay alive and that was it, would be easy for some of us to say WOW !! If only I could be like that, look at the time it would save, and weight watching would be a thing of the past, I don’t think it will be too far in the future before the practice of popping pills for our daily diet will become an option……..the bargains in the supermarkets are current topics on the news, supermarkets are coming under fire for these offers, not bargains when you end up throwing them away, as I and many other’s do, but always a sucker for a bargain me………the cat hair…grrr have the same problem, hand held vacume I have, the robot one hasn’t learnt how to climb onto the chairs yet………..but if you wear a rubber glove, and brush your hand over the said cat hair, I think you will find that does the trick…thank you for your input teds……xx
Starette you know I never once thought about the car vacuum that is charged at home then to the car use. and it is so easier everyday with cat hair, so in will use that much less easier, than the electrical cable vacuum, what a slow poke I am not use that before.
Well there you go, ready charged, no leads…… a doddle………”.jobs a gud un”….lol xx
I would invent a circular laptop, with curved down sides.
This would relieve so much stress in so many people as, when you chuck the locked up piece of chit across the room, it would fly so much better.
Having a bad day are we Way…lol……..what about a boomerang shaped one, then the chit could come flying right back at you, it would save you retrieving the computer from across the room when you had calmed down……..just a suggestion…..hehe….xx
Sorry Star but necessites which need to or have to be done I do without thinking about them twice. It is always us who makes the stress of the day, nobody else.xxxM
Hello Michael, well I have to beg to differ there, it’s very often people or chores that stress us out, now no one can tell me they enjoy cleaning an oven…Noooooo……….what about a device that you could point at your car without leaving the house, one that would switch it on, warm it up, clear the snow of the windows……..now you would not turn your nose up at that would you ?? xxx
I would invent a robot maid to do all the dusting. My pet peeve. =. dusting.
My next door neighbor’s car can be started by the click of a button on her car key control. It turns on the heater and who knows what else.
Hi Pam, dusting not my favourite pastime either…….lucky neighbour, lucky rich neighbour……….xx
She must have money, Star… not sure. The heater helps to warm up the car because she has a baby and we did have a much colder winter.
The remote start and heater on function on car remote’s has been a function accessible on top of the range cars (Rovers specifically) in the UK for over 20 years
Nice, Way! Wish I could afford one of those.
Star….For years I had a cooling system in my houses called a “Breezair”…as well as cooling ,it pressurised the house slightly compared to outside,as the air moved from the house inside to outside,it picked up all the dust and pet hair and got rid of it…The only drawback was any door or window flyscreens tended to get coated on the inside with dust particles.
As to an invention…I would like to see a device on a fairly long handle,that would enable me to change light globes without having to stand on tippy toes or a chair….kinda like what Daleks have…the cup thingy.
Capps that “Breezair” sounds just the ticket, but a cooling system in this country err…. oh that there would ever be a need………..the light bulb changer would definitely be a best seller……..and because I am decorating at the moment something has just sprung to mind………some contraption that would do the cutting in between the top of the wall and the damned ceiling….grrr……..xx
Star…When I,m painting,I use old x-ray films to prevent paint transfer from wall to ceiling. 🙂
X-ray films capps……..and where do I get these from……..if you mean the hospital ones, we are not given these after an x-ray, I am so probably far off the track here……..but don’t know what else you mean….lol xx
Oh…Sorry Star….Yes we do get to keep them here in Oz…I dont know why the hossys would keep them in the UK…its not like they can be washed and used again.
Cappy, that “Breezair” sounds perfect for my needs. 😆 I HATE DUSTING.
Hahahahah. You are way too funny. I do believe we all could use one of those round things some of the time..
Invent something. I will have to think of something. If it is real good, I will keep it a secret. LOL
You will never make any money Rose keeping a good invention to yourself, have to market and sell it, then look at all that cash that would come rolling in……….you could then employ as many servants as you choose to………oh the joys……lol xx
starlette. You are so right and then I could come in here and brag after it was patented.
Star,yes I need a few devices invented by those in the know.
1.A fry pan designed so that when the sausages curve over theres a way to cook the convex and concave surfaces.
2.A device to change doona covers.
3.An intelligent washing machine to keep an eye on errant socks which have a habit of disappearing.
4.Flat sausages
brilliant blog star,made me laugh.
Hi Syvlester, I do know at one time in this country sausage slices were being sold, but I don’t think they had any skin on, so I suppose not like a juicy big sausage, and we all love one of those hehe……….doona covers, I’m presuming that is what we call duvet covers, there is an easy peasy way of doing this, but a little too long to explain on here, but basically you turn the cover inside out, put your hands inside it and grab the corners of the duvet and shake, oh well I tried……….I cook sausages in the halogen oven and they don’t curl…….so maybe time to ditch the frying pan, or invent a concave shaped one…….bit like the shape Way would have computers designed…lol xx
I would like something that hoovers and dusts Star, get fed up of those same old chores.
A cooker that automatically does the meals for you, so you do not have to worry about them all the time lol.
Hi Tans, I have always said with dusting you are just flicking the dust from one surface to another, so again I use the handheld cleaner with a soft brush attached, great for lampshades, tv screens, headboards, anything really, and the dust is being sucked up, not flicked about and scattered again…….oh just call me “Housewife of the year ” NOT !!…..lol……..hate it, but has to be done, and anytime time saving tips are always good news to my ears…..xx
Good morning Star,
that’s a good proposal from you. Mind you I would prefer to have the money to pay servants for doing this and other job in the house.
As it is at this moment I’ll have to warm up myself for doing this job.xxxM
Well Michael, for what its worth, you could at one time buy gloves to warm your hands, they had batteries in them to switch on a small heating device, think they were designed for keeping your hands toasty while clearing the snow off the car……….ahh a servant, but I would have to go out wining and dining while they were doing the cleaning, would feel just to guilty sat there with my feet up while they vacumed around me, that’s my excuse anyway….hehe…..xxx
To all of you who hate dusting in the house. Leave the dust where it is an you can use the sureface as a message board, which safes you carrying your computer with you. My proposal.
Bless the woman or man who likes to clean and keep house. I don’t need an invention, I just need an attitude adjustment. I try to stay positive and know that it is good exercise. I want to really get into the making home thing and groove on it. I do try some of the modern inventions for cleaning. I try not to use disposable things, but I may start that.
For years I had a cleaning woman once a month and I may do that again, I do it on a hit or miss basis. It is so hard to find a woman that is regular and careful and good. I don’t need a lot of things, but I may need a good cleaner. I worked and I don’t feel guilty hiring people to help and many need the work. My grandddaugter in helping me today. Sweet. It will be the most expensive help, but I am so proud of her and she is learning as she goes. A young family member is a good idea. That is the best idea that I can imagine. Find someone who needs the work, if you have some extra money.
