*totally lighthearted* DH has gone shopping for a new vacuum without me......

[Singlebutmarried]

should I LTB?

How dare he! Is he going to get a Dyson handheld....

Depends what he comes back with I think!

Bubbles.........

.....yes....am distraught

Good man! But why would you go shopping for a hoover, what's wrong with Amazon?

So long as he’s doing the proper share of the housework, including vacuuming, then I don’t see it as a problem. If he isn’t then tell him it was lovely of him to want to do the vacuuming from now on. After all, that’s why he choose the vacuum, isn’t it? 😉

If he comes back with a Henry, ltb.

Because he wants it now.....to clean his car (and mine) with.

@nottalotta Henry would definitely be a LTB scenario

Unless Henry is a bloke, then you’re going to need to have a very serious chat! 😆

If it's a shark liftaway then he should get brownie points!

I briefly considered LTB when DP went shopping for white paint without me.

Sure enough he got some off white yellow monstrosity and I've never really gotten over it.

What did he come back with? Was it a dyson and a bunch of flowers?

@Hamandcheesebaguette eeeeek! I don't think I'd ever get over that there are far too many shades of white for it to ever be a quick solo decision - it requires endless buying of the samples and painting bits of card to see how they reflect the light.... what was he thinking

What'a wrong with a Henry? (It having one a social faux pas?!)

Oh dear.

I love my Henry and my Dyson hand held!

So what did he get?

Nothing wrong with a Henry. We have one. I love it because it's so heavy and I have a bad back......so DH has to do all the vacuuming win win!

As long as he does all the hoovering thats ok.

Not good! Buying a vacuum takes a serious amount of research and is not something for a DH to do alone.They are just not up to the task.

DH and I have had 4 (I think) vacuums over the years and I have had nothing to do with buying any of them - I can’t think of anything more dull - have I been doing something fundamentally wrong? (We currently have a dyson hand held and a karcher pull along type).

Grumblepants

Henry is bloody useless. Fails to Hoover all but 1 of my carpets properly.

What did he get OP??

Dyson handheld. It’s the nuts!!

No 💐 but he did cook a lush dinner instead.

(I’d been mopping up child vom all day)

Dyson cordless is amazing! DH actually bought ours but after extensive research in which I was involved. He actually vacuumed the car last night after taking out the toddlers car seat - had to empty it twice - urgh!
