Landline phone - only needed for broadband. Would happily use my mobile for all phone calls if I didn't have to have the phoneline
Television - in the days of bit-torrent etc. I could happliy do without a TV, and use my computer for videos, if I was on my own. But snuggling up to watch TV on a sofa is a lot nicer than two of you sitting on chairs near a computer monitor
Dishwasher - have survived my entire adult life without one until a few months ago. So I don't _need_ one but they are very, very nice.
Tumble dryer - again, in my single days I rarely used mine. Now there's twice as many clothes to dry, it gets used a lot more...
Computer - vital. Keeping in contact with folks, looking stuff up, accessing work from home (handy if you need to check a long-running task worked that you kicked off at 5pm). The couple of weeks we spent without broadband were a pain.
MP3 player - have one, but rarely use it. Although I often use my handheld console for videos/games when commuting
