    Go for it Bargainhunter, definitely worth the money! My only regret now is not getting one with a mop in as well 😂

    Ooh - I would love one to hoover round my kitchen daily (it needs it with a messy 4 yo!).  Just can't justify one at the moment though and it's really not on the top of my need/want savings list right now.

    I know what you mean about fast forwarding.  If I could just fast forward to whenever DD sleeps on her own, that would be great!

    Aww bless you jess, I bet! You are doing brilliant though, just reading what you've been up to makes me tired! 
    May I offer you a dog for an hour a day? Extremely good with 4 year olds and very happy to follow said 4 year old, cleaning up any food debris 😂

    That would be great, although he is scared of dogs (probably because he doesn't naturally meet any).  I wonder if we could borrow a sheep from somewhere to mow the lawn too  :D

    We love our robotic hoover, saves so much hassle and time.
    If it's not adding up, compound it!

    He'll be fine after a few minutes of cuddles! I'm pretty sure there are few people on this forum that have some sheep on their land, we can sort that out for you 😂
