I've never understood child's hoovers. Give them the real thing - housework and play sorted in one fell swoop. Tell them it's theirs and only they are allowed to use it
I was a very lucky child. My mum was world champeen baker and domestic goddess and my dad was a mechanic who worked on racing bikes. I could rebore a block, fit new rings and pistons and whip up a perfect egg sponge by the time I was 7! Ting
I'm not particularly tidy because I like everything to be "handy" but it's an orgnised chaos. I can find things.
My mum is like pig pen! There's always a pile of stuff where she's been when she comes to stay. Giant handbag, glasses, puzzle book, dog, cardigan.......
B****y bag's bigger than she is but it's got loads of little pockets so she knows where everthing is...in theory! Try finding her car keys!!!! She'd be quicker getting the bus.
Unfortunately, many of the things we use are designed by people who know better than the mere mortals who actually use them, which is why they end up chucked in a corner of the garden.
Well they can put a sensor on the bobbin winder to tell you it's full so why not just put it on upside down or outside in to tell you when it's empty? Lemon squeezy.

Still can!
My mum spent fruitless years trying to make me tidy but I can still sit in a tidy room with my arms folded and within 10 minutes, it will be in a mess

She sounds like my soul mate apart from the big handbag- too heavy and if it's full too much to lose when I forget where I've left it.

It's because they make th inside of handbags black. They should have a light inside that goes on when you open them.
I carry a back pack. It's my third in about twenty years. I'm such a laydy!
I do have handbags but not for anything useful.
""Always wished they'd make a sewing machine which would 'ping!' about three metres before the spool ran out........that'd be a massive help.....

You should invent that MU....oh wait, you just did!
