Tip of the day

On days out, I always take a photo of our children on my mobile phone before we go. I then have a reminder of clothes they are wearing/full description in case they get lost. 4enoughthanks

Quote of the week

Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."

Recipe of the week

Porpoise's red berry pavlova: lashings of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon finals weekend - with the ace addition of a crunchy, chewy meringue base. Serve with panache and await a grateful chorus of, "Ooh, I say!"

I like my Dyson

<runs for cover>
I have a SEBO too, they do a pet hair version which is great! We have 2 tabby cats whose mission in life is to cover every surface in our house with their fur! hmm
agree with iMum,I use a Sebo for cleaning-they are pretty damn good.

Am thinking of getting non bagless - have a Dyson, but everytime I change the cylinder, dust goes everywhere - not good for DD and her asthma...

Miele?

Is Henry very heavy to carry upstairs? Do they all come red with a silly face? Had a Miele dog and cat one but really not that impressed.

Miele cylinder vacs are the most reliable, according to 13,000 of our members, closely followed by Henrys.

miele are great, I've just bought a limited edition special offer one today "red Pearl" for £170 which include a 5 year guarantee, you could probably get it cheaper on line but I wanted one there & then & to support local inde shops.

I have the first one of these NVP It is amazing.
MadameCheese, behave. I had the same thought. grin
Miele although never had a Henry but they do seem to get raved about. Had numerous Dysons but they weren't that great. Miele all the way from now on.

Miele
We have the cat and dog version and its great.
I love my Henry too, really gets rid of cat hairs!
Henry! had countless dysons and bisl (or however its spelt) and the henry has outlasted them all and still going strong.
I used to have a dyson now have a Henry and really pleased with it, not too pricey either.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
