Who'd like to try out a new Dyson vacuum cleaner?

FAQ - my fault for forgetting the [sulk emoticon]

sorry didn't realise you were being slightly humorous

yes I know Cod

me wilts monday at 3pm wiht shiny

let me be disappointed and bitter FAQ

no they said they hope to get all the volunteers "in place" by the end of the week.....not choosing them at the end of the week.

Given that the dates for collecting the hoover vacuums has changed there may well have been some people who were picked who've had to pull out, and therefore MNHQ would have had to invite others to fill their place. If they only did the draw at the end of the week it would probably have been the start of next week before all volunteers were "in place"

I wish this thread had been pulled once the names were chosen..and seeing as they said names would be pulled by the end of the week doing it on tuesday seems unfair...

Thank you for the acknowlegdment. I know that not everyhting can be available for everyone. I hope everyone who has an opportunity to take part get on OK.

I know, - good friends living in Kyle of Lochalsh (sp).

We live in Wales now and have access to cities- hometown basically did a stonking range of pound shops! It's a different world (though I still find I use internet shopping loads as now we have the aprking to contend with instead LOL)

I know but sometimes we are definately penalised living in the Highlands, courier charges are a typical example. If we try to buy anything there is always an extra charge but they don't charge extra for say Aberdeen which is a much more awkward journey than Inverness.

Hey ho that's what I get for living in the sticks - away from any civilisation etc etc etc

yeah but- Dyson are south of england aren't they? What you expect, them to ask them to move their HQ?

(Do know how you feel having grown up n rural somerset- not an awful lot based there either- but this is more a where the Dyson offices are thing than anything else)

What a surprise - another south of England based thing!

I am going to Malmesbury at 10am on Tue 19th... I certainly need to put this Dyson through its paces and now I have a ready made excuse not to hoover until some time after 19th Feb. Hooray!

I am sulking at not being chosen

I guess they found out my lie (that I do my own hoovering) damn

We're off today and next week so will be OK too for us

however would have happily made a 60 mile detour to mum's for childcare for this!

We have our landlords inspection later that week as well- should help to have a working vacuum LOL

I am going on the tuesday now.
Will have to take girls as it's half term.

DH is ocncerned at how excited I ma.

I've applied, I'm very close to their Malmesbury (Wilts) place.

Unfortunately my friend who worked in the office just left yesterday, or she could've put a good word in for me .

WHat about us antopodeans - we too have shag pile that needs cleaning [wishes she did not live so far away]

I could collect from Dyson in Brisbane - and could be the international rep!!!!

Okay worth a shot. I too could do with a new vacuum cleaner.

Ah not sure i am going to bother going to the London one now because of all the traffic etc it is in central london, so it will ps on my journey to go to wiltshire but its worth it.

I know it is half term week which is a bummer, dp may be home though if not i will have to seek my mum out

We are also moving next friday!

Just looked on the website, I want the Animal Ball!!! Looks fab

oh bugger mag, My kids are off school next week so we are ok.

Just realised it's half term week! What am I gonna do with 5 kids

Me and Misdee are going to the london one, we are catching the tube from Cockfosters to south kensington (sp) and walking the short distance to the office.

Will we be allow an allery one or an animal one? or is it just basic ones?

Scooby, I will be going to the london one but don't know how or when as I don't drive so need to sort something
