My inlaws have got one and love it. I don't think it would be much good in my house though as there are always sports bags, computer bags, bandy sticks etc on the floor.

You could do upstairs and downstairs at the same time! :lol:

Might be good for me as a hoover would save the skirting boards and furniture! :roll:

No good for the garden my husband has a "thing" about his grass. He like it in lines, needs to be straight! Dont know why :roll:
Years ago I made myself an outfit, dressed up for when he came home.
A bottle of Newcastle brown Ale as a top, front and back.
A grass skirt.
A dogs ears, tongue and tail.

He asked what on earth I was I doing? I asked what he noticed first! :lol:
My eldest son in school in show or tell said that his Mummy dressed up for Daddy getting home :oops:
Whaaa I was so :oops: when they told me!! :crazy:

Oh its made me laugh thinking about it!
