    Many thanks for people pandering to my lazyness and telling me the dates of double up. I would not dare order my vouchers online, as I like to have the stuff in my trolley before I get them. Also I like to look at prices, as I am sure they put the prices of some things up just as double up starts (fizz)

    Yes it's a lift away but corded.
    I need to see one in the flesh as I don't want anything too heavy to use.

    Dyson wanted £99 to send out an engineer, don't think so. Think it's my 4th Dyson and definitely my last. I asked what the engineer would do that we hadn't and he said strip the ball down, so I'll leave that to OH at the weekend.

    Mine's corded too, I think Bubbs contributed to my getting one, got it from Costco.

    I think I actually first felt the weight of one in Currys, it certainly is nowhere near as heavy as my Dyson was, and it makes doing the stairs so easy, and it is easy to do under the cage with it too.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I will definitely look into them.
    You reminded me that I've got Henry as a back up, so will have to manage with him for a bit.

    Thanks, I'll nip into Currys and have a play.

    I worry about battery power.
    Henry's battery is not very good at all.
    Not that I should complain. ;)

    Anon,

    Sorry to sound stupid, but is this at Tesco? If so you wouldn't happen to know what departments the double up is on?
