I'm preparing an article for the next Outreach about things that we have found we can't live without. I know we have all shared from time to time about products we have found that help us live a better life.

If you'd like to participate in the article, please email me (nancy@ubpn.org) with your idea(s). I can either attribute your quote to you or we can do it anonymously.

Hi Nancy,

What a good idea! Does having a 'Neil' around count?? ;0)

..joking apart, I do find that Blu Tack http://www.artech-electronics.com/us/pr ... utack.html is the best thing ever invented. Without it, I wouldn't be able to make the jewellery. Also, one-handed G clamps are very useful for all sorts of things. Can't seem to find a picture of one, but every DIY'er will know what I mean.

Thanks for the suggestions. And yes, Neil def. counts, but since everyone else won't have access to him, we'd best not include him in our article

I'm not sharing Tim with anyone either ...

Thanks to those who have responded here and also those who have sent emails. We are accumulating a great list.

Bumping this up again.
I'm putting the article together now, so, this is a 'last call'. Come on and share what you've found works for you and makes living with a bpi just a little bit easier.

You can email to me directly (nancy@ubpn.org) or post here. Be sure to let me know how you want your name published.

Hi nancy
Don't know how I missed this first time round, thanks for bumping it up!
I love my left handed scissors, much better than turning right handed ones upside down! Plus, my Niwashi for gardening is fabulous, I don't know how I managed without it. If you like gardening I can't recommend this tool enough and it's available in a left handed version too. Weeding and digging are so easy with it. WHY don't manufacturers make a percentage of things things left handed as a matter of course? http://www.niwashi.co.nz/niwashi.htm Don't mind how you use this info nancy, anon or not, whatever fits the article best.
I do also have a Pete who is very useful :0)

When showering, James has really liked his long handled sponge thingy. Its alot easier to use than a washcloth. Also, soap in pump containers or flip tops is easier than figiting with bar soap. Squeezable containers for some foods like jelly and butter that would be hard to spread sometimes.
