What are you all up to

With the help of DD, who came for lunch, I have booked the "MegaBus", which will take me to within walking distance of the Norwegian embassy in London.

I have splashed out on a bunk bed for the overnight journey, cost £20, and an ordinary seat for the return journey, £8.50.

Then we had some tesco clubcard vouchers that we exchanged for double value, so only £8.50 to pay, so a reasonable result.

Travelling end of January, just hope the weather is not bad!

The Miele machines are excellent.  We bought a cylinder type when we first moved here almost 29 years back, it is still going strong.

Then about 7 years back we bought a newer one, the "Cat & Dog" model with the powered rotating brush head, which is great for the stair carpet, and other carpets,  and can reach under furniture easily.

We keep the newer one downstairs where we have wooden flooring in the hall, and the old one stays upstairs now so OH does not have to carry them up and down  the stairs as they are quite heavy.

Another Miele fan here. We too have the Cat & Dog one with the turbo brush. Can just get to the top of the 13 stairs with the hose.

Often the bags are on offer, easier to just bin the bag once full tbh.

We had 2 Dysons, absolute heaps of junk. But then thats what you get through plagiarism  

The best vacuum ever had was a cheap Panasonic up to the edge thing 25 years ago, still in use by family member we gave it too when persuaded to get the 1st Dyson.

We got a Dyson V6 cordless in the Black Friday sale at Currys.

We were a bit unsure about the 20 minute battery life between charges, but unless you are the sort that likes to spend all morning vac'ing the entire house (we aren't) then it's fine.

We have it on the kitchen wall and just do a room now and then.

Agree that the collection container fills up quickly, but we put that down to the great suction and the amount of muck it drags out (any stronger and it could pull the carpet pile out, I reckon!)

We are well pleased with it.

our neigbour has a  miele cylinder cleaner  and thought it was the one to have,until she tried our Dyson after useing hers, which picked up as much again,she has now got a Dyson 

A day at CAB today and two rather complicated cases to tax the mind. The benefits system is clearly designed not to be understood by the general public. But I love the challenge 

This is all exciting, talking vacuum cleaners , I've just ordered a Vax cordless , I'll give an update later 

We have a Dyson v6 in the c/an it is very powerfull ,it really pulls the muck out of the carpets,ther fiiled the container the first time,it was used compaired to last cleaner it does not fill up a much now when used

Should have bought a Dyson, Husky.......

Or you could buy our old Vax if you want? It's only about 25 years old.....

I like to be different
