It fits the DC07 (and most likely others as well) I have a used one with on my old dyson which is awaiting transfer to the tip, if you want it let me know your address and I'll put it in the post. Email me (addy on the flylady card list) as my inbox is full.

    Good evening all

    So far I have managed to:

    go to DS2's annual SEN review straight after work (great news - he'll be back in his local school around Feb half-term or soon after, after only 1 year of intensive speech and language support)
    have a short nap
    DW x1
    freeze spare meals cooked yesterday
    wrap up Christmas cake
    cook tea and plan meals for tomorrow
    get bath ready for DS2
    read story
    check e-mails

    Still need to:
    empty and reload WM
    empty and reload DW
    S&S kitchen
    find Christmas cards
    sort uniform for tomorrow
    do paperwork
    be in bed asleep by 11pm at the latest

    I might do an update before I go to bed, but if not I'll see you all tomorrow. I thought this was going to be a quiet week...
