What House-hold Items Do You Expect To Last A Life-Time?

My kettle - when my electric one broke recently I went and got a stovetop one with no fuse to blow. It should be going strong for years to come.

hmm...the pirex (sp?) sausepan my nan gave me. she got it when she got engaged, shes now 89. it hasnt been used but i cant bring myself to..
The High chair at my mum and dads. we've worked out its 80yrs + old (all wood toboot!) and i expect that'll keep going for a loooong while yet! (and its been used by my gran right though to DS last night!)
My mum and dads fridge/microwave. they've been married 23 years and they're older then that!
DH's FB holden. its almost 50yrs old now...i cant see why it wont keep going! (once we get the carbie fixed)
Ohh and the scan pans/roasting tray that i got when DH and I got married, its only been (almost) a year and i can see them lasting!

I loved having a stovetop kettle when we had gas stoves...current stove takes too long to heat up.

I forgot to add - I *love* pottery - and often pick up lovely pieces at op shops (my only rule is no brown ) and provided DH doesn't clang them around in the kitchen they last nicely - better than cheap imported crockery anyway.
