Hello everyone,
We got there early because dp wanted to get to mil's for 3.30 so i didn't get to meet you all.

was the strange strange lady still on the reception when you lot got there?
We went in with ds and he was asleep she looked at us and said are you thinking of taking your child in there with you?
Dp said no love we thought we would leave him with you.
And she started panicking and saying i can't have childern here with me its not allowed.
DP then said i was just joking and she said im not i can't have children here
Camilla was nice though and i love my new Dyson

Don't think we had her? (probably lunchtime cover)- one we had was quite nice, did say our surname very loudly a few times - yes dear get over it, but was OK.

littlerach · 19/02/2008 13:36

I ma back!!!

Wasn't Camilla nice?
DDs haven't stopped talking baout her, and how prety she is, and how she chatted to them about hairstyles whilst I went to the loo.

I didn't get to do the assault course, but did get to go in the lab and look at yucky dust mites - they are gross!

And the hand dryers - fab!!

Did anyone else find it really hard to find? I went past it twice before I relaise dwhat it was!!

Nicwe to have seen yiu Helliebean, apologies for being all flustered!

TLSM · 19/02/2008 14:13

Do you really have to dress up in a white jumpsuit..... tlsm looks down at her massive 8 month preggiers already porkie body ohhhhhhh no!

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 19/02/2008 14:20

i have tried out a dyson handdryer it was truly fab and new world ish

chenin · 19/02/2008 14:29

I am back with my upright too and I have been vacuuming which is not my fave hobby!

Nice to see you littlerach (sorry to ask if were you!!) Your DDs are adorable! I bet they loved Camilla with her long curly blonde hair!!

I couldn't get over the dust mites enlarged! Yuk yuk. Have already hoovered our bed and the cylinder has got a lot in!

Loved the hand dryers and the posh loccitane hand lotion - slathered it on my hands!

littlerach · 19/02/2008 15:54

Yes, dd1 is lareday planning how she wil have her hair cut to match Camilla's.

I haven't openend the hoover vacuum cleaner yet.

TLSM, I had to wear a lab coat, not a jumpsuit, thnak goodness!

DualCycloneCod · 19/02/2008 15:58

haev NO opinion on recpetion ladies

TLSM · 19/02/2008 16:07

[relief] I was getting worried there the thought of this stunning women trying to make me zoom over an asult course whilst wearing a white suit 4 sizes too small!

Peachy · 19/02/2008 20:01

TLSM I'd have warned you if there's been an issue- can you imagine me doing that?

SparklyDYSONGothKat · 20/02/2008 23:30

Misdee and me will be at the london office tomorrow at about 10:30. Anyone else going at that time?

RTKangaDYSONMummy · 21/02/2008 10:16

We went yesterday afternoon and yes I agree Camilla is lovely

misdee · 21/02/2008 16:15

i like my new little dyson baby.

managed to get a quick demo on the new portable thingys for cars etc, they were good.

hand dryers are fab!

SparklyDYSONGothKat · 21/02/2008 16:16

I think I might regret my decision to have the baby upright, after using it on my rug (which sheds all the time) and nearly filling it up with white fluff..

misdee · 21/02/2008 16:19

i am so used to uprights, the cylinder feels weird. but will get the floors cleaned properly later

magHOOVERlia74 · 22/02/2008 09:49

Ok so I have my Hoover Dyson

Ive been using an upright for a while now, will be weird using a cylinder.

My dog tried to eat the last one

bethoo · 22/02/2008 14:42

got my Dyson yay tried it out quickly and it is good though have yet to put it through its paces with the sofa, bedroom, stairs and kitchen. all that is in my cyclinder appears to be the equivalent to half a cat!!

NeverSayNevertoaDyson · 22/02/2008 19:34

Got my Dyson, Camilla is a lovely lady and I got to meet LittleLapin which was a bonus

Going to put mine to the test tomorrow.

Magnolia, I have a Juck Russell who has a deep hatred of hoovers, so will see if he trys to kill the Dyson .

NeverSayNevertoaDyson · 22/02/2008 19:37

Ooooh and the hand dryers are amazing, I want Dyson to invent a whole body dryer

misdee · 22/02/2008 19:38

i loved the handdryers. i want one for my bathroom

i do like my little dyson, but do have some little niggles with it.

QOD · 22/02/2008 19:41

i-robot roomba, the best thing in the entire world ever (after dd)
Seriously, he even has a name and I really really love him and want him to have lots of babies with me

SparklyDYSONGothKat · 22/02/2008 19:41

bethoo · 24/02/2008 10:03
