It would need to be able to go upstairs as well then so you'd need a Stannah Stairlift for it.

went to look at a house with an in built/ automatic hoovering system in it.... I thought that you switched it on and it sucked everything in .... automatically

I was sucked in...

You still have to put a hose into the wall and do the bloody work, so whats the point?

I've got the perfect answer - get a husband like mine, he is convinced I'll break his iron and his vacuum cleaner if I use either of them, so prefers to do the work himself

I've got one of those. Mine even does the dishes because apparently I don't do them right either. After I found him re-folding his laundry because it wasn't the way he did it I told him he could do that too.

Are you sure he's really a man? The real man's way of doing housework is badly. Then the wife / girlfriend / "life partner" says, 'oh for god's sake, let me do that'

Or you get an ex-army model! They have to be neat and presentable all the time (except when fishing) and so are more than willing and able to do their own stuff

He has even taught the boys how to iron things properly too!

He definitely a man I think his mother just taught him that if he did things a certain way, that way was correct. Because my way isn't exactly the same as hers, it must be kak Suits me, I always offer to do stuff but he won't let me, so I devote my time to hanging around on here instead
