Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

We got our Miele for just under £100 from Hughes Direct.

Miele's are great, but over £100, unless someone knows something I don't

Henry is not bagless, but the bags are cheap and don't need changing very often

So what you are telling me is that there is no word spelt 'vacume' grin

Henry! They're £99 (or a bit less if you shop around on the internet) and very well made and reliable. The best hoover I've ever had

My mum has had her Henry for ages; think they're around £100.
She has 3 dogs so pretty good on pet-hair

Ah yes..I think 'Vacume' is 'empty space'..smile

I think the Dyson stowaway might be out of budget...£250+ isn't it?

Vacuum I think!

I have a Dyson Stowaway and it's fab.
Great suction, loads of extra attachments including a wooden floor attach. which really helps. Easy to empty etc and quite compact.

I bought a Vax on Sunday, it is a green one, under £100 and realy gives the carpet a good clean.

...have about £100 to spend.I dont mind if its upright or pull along but it must be able to suck up cat hair.I am sadly excited.I have never had a good hoover before!

(Is that how you spell 'Vacume'?It doesnt look right to me)
