Best laid plans…
The funniest thing about discovering the joys of not commuting every day (or indeed travelling for business at all) has been doing our own cleaning.
Eh?
Well, to ensure we were protected, we lost the cleaner and started doing it ourselves. Because of the cleaner, we knew the absolutes basics that needed to be done each week and thanks to the time we’ve got back, we’re also scarily on top of the “extras”. Indeed, I’m sitting typing this listening to my husband start the decorating process in our bathroom – unfortunately, it’s much quicker if he does this as there is a window ledge 7’6″ up a wall that needs to be rubbed down and painted every so often and it takes me a good 45 minutes on the day to psyche myself up to do it…
And the point of this is?
My apologies. The chicken and egg scenario is all about our vacuum. With the money we saved from having a cleaner, we got a new cordless vacuum cleaner and have really enjoyed using it. The person who’s turn it is to cook Sunday lunch each week inherits the floor cleaning duties in the kitchen and with the vac and the steamer, it’s a 45 minute job.
When we had the cleaner, I had an alarm on my calendar reminding us to clean the filters on the vac, thus prolonging the life and maintaining the performance of the gadget but somehow, this has fallen by the wayside.
I can still do the steaming in the kitchen but it’s going to be a while before the filter is dry enough to use in the vac. Doh!
