Polierpantoffeln - even the name makes me roar with laughter.

Then I give you: How to hide those unsightly Fairy bottles

And finally, courtesy of BlatherKite's MIL who does not like to see her ugly hoover in the corner.

Does anyone else have any household gadgets that I could add to my collection?

I don't know how I have survived to my advanced age without those things - must treat myself - life will be so much better.

Shame I have already sent the parcel.

I love the aprons too!

But the hoover thing is uglier than the bloomin' hoover!

Yes, indeed. You slip the Polierpantoffeln onto your feet instead of slippers and you will never have to clean the floors again.

I am ordering the fairy bottle aprons. How many do we need?

I love the idea that you should hide your 'unsightly upright' with a massive, terrifying doll thingy, which is definitely less attractive than the hoover.

Hmm. The Wheelie Bin Cover just makes an ugly black bin even uglier.

Hoover cover would not be out of place in a Stephen King movie

have seen lots of covered wheelie bins - dont people do it so they can ID their own, just like painting the house number on so they don't get saddled with the neighbours bin that stinks of fish guts instead of their own lovingly-bleached-every-week one?

If I had the Polierpantoffeln the floor would be 90% normal with a trail through it where I walk - and they probably wouldn't stay that delightful pink colour. I wonder if they do a nice blue version for the less girly houseproud peeps ?

Those wheelie bin things won't work - how will you know which one is the recycling bin ?
