fab device for cleaning bedrooms

[tinkgirl]

thought you might like to hear about a fab new device which I found to clean DD bedroom (god help me she's only 8yrs) - woke up or rather DH came to wake me up on Monday morning (6am) to tell me that a tree has fallen down outside the house and on top of the caravan parked on the front garden and that he was going to work so could I deal with it before I get the kids up for school and myself out to work, what exactly he wanted me to do with this tree at 6am in the morning is anyone's guess , anyway phoned the council who sent a couple of guys round to cut it down (one was actually quite cute ) they chopped it into pieces and had the most fabulous industrial strength blower (bit like the garden vacumns which you can get in the shops to suck up leaves etc) only it blows instead of stucks, I was watching him use it (the cute one) and had a picture flash into my head about using this to blow all the crap to one corner in DD's bedroom before shoving it all into a bin bag rather than the usual 3 hours it takes before I get a glimse of the carpet anyone know were I can get one cheap !!!

What a fab idea! Do you think we could get a mumsnet discount?

DD does that herself. all her crap bits and pieces are wedged down the side of the wardrobe or pushed into the corner of a room. She is 9.4 and this is her idea of tidy. As long as I don't trip over anything when I go to wake her up, I don't care.

I actually use our garden blower to blast out the dust behind radiators, on light fittings, anywhere that needs it

DS stuffs all his crap (empty sweet wrappers) down the back of his wardrobe, it's DD who leaves it whereever it falls - i just don't know what I'm going to do when she hits the teen yrs. So far I've adopted the close the door strategy but just feel that i'm storing trouble for the future!

like the idea of using it to blow the dust from the light fittings etc. If i get an industrial strength blower then might also use it on DH and the garage. I can see a revolution happening in my house.

You might as well get used to it, as believe me it does not get any better, in fact unless she see's the light, the floor will be covered in all manner of wrappings, clothes, make up, full of stains and then ends up smelling. There will be pots, glasses and cups festering with rotten food and liquids. Knife, forks and spoons start to disappear and when they eventually do appear need to be thoroughly sterilised. Piles of clean clothes end up on top of dirty ones and trampled on, I don't even bother to iron clothes for her now.

Bed linen is stained with hair dye and make up and what gets me is that they are not even embarrassed when friends come round.

Room now smells most of the time and I just shut the door.

dude ! thats a great idea

i think they should come part of the package with teenage boys lol i really don't know how my laddo spends anytime in his bedroom lol it's always a tip lol

i agree with you hun my laddo has all his mates in no matter wot state his bedroom is in lol but he tries to say his bedroom was pretty clean til his mates come round lol then his mates get the blame lol but i know my laddo better than he thinks lol but i luvs him to pieces xxx
