    So, I Dysoned for many years, also LG ed upstaris, (too heavy to carry the Dyson, in our last narrow cottage) and now Sharking! Its a brilliant machine, I have the Pet, its amazing, and under half the price of the equivalent Dyson.

    I bought a lovley little vacuum cleaner from Argos, 32.99 far better than the dyson.

    Well the new hoover, sorry vacuum-cleaner agitator belt is installed and full nesting behaviour has recommenced. I changed both belts and washed the filters so it's like having a new machine again. I will have to keep calling it a hoover though as Wildedges Jnr can only say about 8 words and one of them is hoooovaaar.

    I don't hoover or vacuum clean anymore.  It's OH's job now we only have a bloody Dyson.   Picking up the new robot tomorrow.   Once charged I can just set it off and leave it to its own devices until it gets stuck and bleeps.

    WE - congrats.

    Grump of the day?  and yesterday?  No internet.  OH phoned the help line and was informed it would be off for up to 3 days while they do new fibre optic connections in the village.  No warning.  No apology.   Probably going off again this pm.   Humph!

    Is the robot a replacement for OH?
  • ObelixxObelixx Posts: 30,090
    No, it won't manage walking the dogs, but I won't have to ask him to clean upstairs if I can simply let loose the robot off.

    but the OED doesn't accept Dysoning, or LGing, or Sharking as verbs, only hoovering.
