Dyson v11 absolute amazing product
Dyson v11 absolute is an amazing product. Yes it costs a lot of money. I paid £499.00 (discounted black Friday) just before Christmas so we could give whole house a good clean.

I've sussed out Amazon "we missed you" deliveries...

The postman came and rung the bell (and knocked on the door) and I signed for a package and went back to what I was doing. A short while later I heard the letterbox and I thought it must be leaflets or something. When I looked, later, it was…
