Default Best purchase: What have you bought that you cannot live without!?

Everyone has something they cannot live without, it’s not materialistic… Its life! I know I would struggle without my car and my IPhone 4!!
Have you ever bought something and every day since thought; ‘I’m so glad I bought that!!’?
Try to keep your answers business and career related if possible…let’s try to make some recommendations!
I'm looking forward to reading your replies!

I would have to say my ipod.

Before I changed cars, I used to have a 6 CD changer in the boot of my car. My main concern when I chose my current car was that there was no facility for this. I was eventually persuaded to buy an ipod and connect it to the car stereo. I don't know how I ever managed without it.

Default Cheesy answer

I have to be cheesy and say my wedding ring. Wife is away with kids in our Villa so they are in my thoughts all the time.

Well, the obvious answer would be the 'chair, and I couldn't run my business at all without a computer and an internet connection...

I think my telephone headsets made an important difference. I often need my hands free to type, move around, manage paper files, etc, while I'm on Skype or phone calls. The built-in mic of the computer conflicts with the clacking of the keys, and typing while trying to wedge a telephone handset against your shoulder is no fun for anybody. £10 well spent.

A sat nav thank goodness the days of looking for a tiny road in an A-Z with a magnifying glass have long gone, an 8mm spanner I've had for 25yrs always handy for fiddly little nuts and a sledge hammer... for settling overdue invoices
