The Hose

As we grow older, we can't necessarily do things the way we used to do or find that task a little bit more difficult, so finding a product to make life easier is the way to go.

The humble garden hose had become a non friendly item with having to pull it back to the wall bracket and carefully wind it around in a somewhat tidy fashion, not to mention the dreaded kinks along the way. 

Browsing through my local Mitre 10 catalogue, my eyes focused on a retractable hose, which was reduced by $40 and was wall mountable. I couldn't wait to purchase it and after my husband installed the bracket on the wall, we were ready for action.

I now enjoy hosing the garden as I pull the hose out without any tangles and with a tug away it recoils into the wall unit, not only quick and easy but with little effort on my part.

I also 'killed two birds with the one stone" as it was also an early Christmas present for my husband!

What new product have you purchased to make life easier?
