hehe and naa...don't own the rechargeable dyson, just played around with one, wouldn't mind having one, might even bother to clean the car out if I had one, but I know that wouldn't really happen

Doesn't matter. Rather live with the crap than have one of those things in my possession. In my case the Yorkshire never really needed to be taken out as it never really got in. Snob through and through, that's me.

Don't have a Roomba but love my scooba. But reading here I guess everyone has a different opinion (like everything here )
Also got a new dyson which I love.

A Hoover one with all the wind tunnel/hepa filter stuff on it. And a Hoover steamvac. We have a pretty small house and no pets as well as a carpet which was only laid a week ago. And a Kone handheld.

But like I said before it's not about the ability of the Dyson. It's about the chav factor. I don't wear leather jackets or 26 gold chains either.

Nothing wrong with leather jackets either, just depends on the style...

I saw those slippers on one of the shopping channels the other day, but the babygro is hilarious! How offensive is sending one of those to new parents I wonder...

That baby out fit wouldn't have worked with middle daughter, she was known as L...... shufflebottom. She sat, pushed her heels down hard and then slid her bum up to the heels, straightened her legs and did it over and over. she moved very quickly too.

Having a baby? That's a bit extreme for easy floor cleaning
