    No, it was £135 on Amazon. My last Dyson was £250 and most decent hoovers can cost tonnes more than that. A friend at work was recommending her cordless Dyson to me, then said it had cost her £450 and that was for their second home, she has a Miele at her proper home ...

    True, but then having two houses means double the cleaning to be done ;):rotfl:

    Morning all, a much better nights sleep for both of us last night, I didn't wake up til 9 this morning :j :j

    Today will be taking it easy, just to be sure ds is better. He's having a bath, then we're doing some more of the puzzle, and then generally pottering and making sure everything is up to date ready for the New Year. Money to be moved in various accounts, xmas stuff is still waiting to go in the loft, car needs clearing out of junk too as I'm going with my neighbour to watch the football on Wednesday night (another neighbour can't use their season ticket so has given it to me :T).

    Thankyou Beanie, and to you and yours :D

    I'm trying to make sense of the bank accounts - its not just the bank accounts, its the betting accounts, paypal etc ... I am trying to withdraw and empty as many as possible so its all in as few locations as I can, so I can manage it easier. Easier said than done, I'm tying myself in knots :rotfl:
