    Oooh cordless hoovers. I have a Vax Blade, absolutely love it. So quick and easy to use.

    Finances done, wish I could wake up properly! Maybe I need food.

    Froddy I have a corded handheld vacuum, very much like this one:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electrolux-WorkZone-Z61A-Cylinder-Cleaner/dp/B000ND6ZM6/ref=sr_1_4/260-5928577-5811266?ie=UTF8&qid=1503835125&sr=8-4&keywords=electrolux+handheld+vacuum
    I used to have a cordless, but you can only recharge them so many times; and when the battery finally wouldn't hold a charge any more, and I emailed the company, they couldn't (or wouldn't) supply a new battery, they said I'd have to buy a whole new machine. This has rather put me off cordless things.
    This one is good though; it has quite a long flex, and is suitable for outdoor use, eg the car and the shed floor.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh, I thought I'd posted and it was still sitting here waiting... Never mind.

    Won't be around next week. Think we're all set. Kids not in bed yet but beds are made and kids are clean. Clothes sorted for tomorrow, shoes packed and toothbrushes, we've got new ones out to have here.

    I'm going to send them to bed and watch Victoria in peace...

    See you all next month!
