10 Gadgets to Rule the world (or at least get you through a Saturday)

Don't miss a thing

Picture the scenario, its a Saturday, in fact, its THAT Saturday, the one where you bought your respective partner that SPA day, you know, the one which seemed ages away, only now its here. Only now its here on Cup Final day, (who books it on cup final day!?) and not only are you in charge of the little one, the house is also a mess. What do you do?

  1. Watch the Cup Final
  2. Clean the house
  3. Ensure baby doesn’t go into melt down

Don’t worry, you can do all three! *well you can if you have lots of money*

Similar to my favoured Top 10’s over on OneDadOneBlog, below are my Top 10 gadgets to help achieve the perfect Saturday…

    Oh I so want most of these!! Not sure about iPhone though. I do like my androids.

      Ditto! Whats your favourite? I can’t split it but I’d love a Go Pro as I want to take more video’s but I’d also love an iKettle or Robot Vacuum

  2. Laura @ Life with Baby Kicks

    Haha funny! the husband always manages to clean more than me when I go off for the day!

    Though I did read an article in the news about a robot vacuum attacking a woman who was asleep on the floor….. at least no chance of naps with babies around!

    • Jim Flowers

      I’m the same Laura, always rushing around like a mad man when Mrs F is out for the day… almost in an attempt to show her how well I cope…. the only problem is for the next few days I’m rendered useless when it catches up with me.

      As for the vacuum incident, I read that too. I would say that clearly the Vacuum wanted to be efficient and maybe the lady on the floor was just hindering this. Beds or sofa’s are for sleeping on so in this case, I’d have to side with the Vacuum ;-)
