This cleaner is small and very powerful and cordless. You can't do a whole house in one go but it is so easy to just do a room or whatever as one feels inclined or has a spare few minutes (chance would be a fine thing for the latter). And of course you are right it's a very first world problem but then most of our problems are.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-22869136394120761822016-07-15T14:02:49.899+01:002016-07-15T14:02:49.899+01:00Lee I just love your approach to life.Lee I just love your approach to life.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-79943026484468093242016-07-15T14:02:13.765+01:002016-07-15T14:02:13.765+01:00Kay you must know me well.

As for different perspectives, my time as a couples counsellor taught me more about that than anything else has. Every marriage or relationship has two completely different versions. Fascinating.
