   Ah feck. Missed 6000.
 
Anyway, this is a post to say that I bought a new vacuum cleaner. Yaaaaay!    
And that's about as exciting as it gets round here.

   That would excite me too.

   My hubby was SO excited when his uncle gave us his 'spare' Dyson a month or so ago that he did the next 3 vacuums! When BIL came round to visit he had to have a go too, so funny!
 
 Yay for a new vacuum Nikki! It does make the job so much better when you have a decent vacuum to do it with eh?

   Thanks Aimee... I noticed your post but decided I should ramble on in a new thread about it    (even if I missed it myself! haha)
 And it's just a mid-range Electrolux vacuum cleaner. I looked through the consumer report thingy (though I didn't fork out for the named brand report) and it went on about expensive ones not being worth the extra money unless you get a "power head" and to get one of those I needed to spend a whooooole lot more money.
 So anyway, this one has to be better than the crappy one we have now! I have to vacuum over a spot about 6 times to even pick up a piece of fluff.   
I'm soooo looking forward to picking up the carpet with the suction! hehe

   I'd love a new cleaner. Ours won't pick up anything right now. Was good for a few years but now it's crapping out.
