Question: How Do You Get Your Husband to Vacuum?

Answer: Simple! You buy a new vacuum/steam cleaner. He loves to play with new gadgets and see how things work. Hey presto and your work is done!

It will be interesting to see how long the novelty lasts and how long I can escape learning how to use the new vacuum cleaner.

We’re still having bad thunder storms here in New Zealand. I start to suffer from cabin fever after a while, and just have to get outside. Thank goodness our climate isn’t too bad, and I can get outside into the fresh air most days. I’d go nuts if I couldn’t.

    Lol..I want a vacuum/ steam cleaner.

    We have bad vacuum juju. Everytime we get a new one, we always medd up the belt. We’ve come to the point where we use the shop vac now, less clogging :D

    Hugs, Danette

    Thunderstorms are fine providing the lightning doesn’t hit anything and the rain does the clear the air.

    LOL, Danette. I hope it’s not catchy. The carpet looks great at the moment.

    Barbara – I have to agree about the lightning, Barbara. With the amount we’ve had during the last three days, we’re lucky there hasn’t been more damage.

    Haha, this did make me laugh! My husband also loves gadgets but i can’t imagine him ever loving a vacuum enough to, you know, actually vacuum!!!

    Bummer about cabin fever. On the bright side, just think about all that O3 (ozone) that lightening is creating!
    I guess nature’s trying to repair itself :)
