Today I’m cleaning house. I’ve been needing to vacuum for a few days – but no time. Until today. Halfway through the house I realize the stupid vacuum bag is full. When DH got me this vacuum for Valentines Day – yes, Valentines Day! We’d been talking a mothers’ ring…he comes home with a vacuum and a gold band (like a wedding band) . Anyway trying to put that behind me! So, when he buys me this ‘wonderful expression of his love for me’ – he neglects to get any extra bags. But he’s gone and #3 is laying on the floor – sleeping the sleep of a child on cough medication!
A couple hours later my MIL comes by and I ask her if she’d get me a couple of bags – YEAH!! It’s so great having family around!
But when I finally get the bag installed it vacuums well for about 3 ft. Then I try to use the attached wand to clean by the moulding – and dirt comes out through the exhaust and all over the room. I turn it off and a bunch of dirt comes out of the wand…a few minutes later I dumped probably 1/2 bag out of the wand attachment! I sweep it up….try to vacuum, but it’s just a joke. The floors are now dirtier than when I started and I have the “benefit” of barely being able to breath.
Oh, yeah….I feel loved.
What brand did he get you? Not a Hoover I hope? I love my Hoover and I’d hate to hear they made an inferior vacuum at some point.
Have a good long nap so you can very calmly discuss this with your dh. Maybe if you are REALLY nice you can get him to vacuum for you…roflol…I crack myself up.
Remind me to tell you sometime about me returning a vacuum to Sears. After the day you have had – you will appreciate it — although Sears did not.
Now that would have ticked me off! Darn vacuum!!!!
I have one of those bagless vacuums, where you just dump the container when it’s full. I think it’s great, and don’t think I could go back to using one with a bag anymore…. Unless it was a Kirby! LOL!
My hubby bought me a $10.00 DVD for Valentine’s Day. Such love! *sighs*
Hope tomorrow is better!!!
Hugs,
Julie
I got a box of chocolate that HE ate for v-day…..
Ever since we have moved up here, and heat the house with wood, mine gets clogged all the time. I guess if I were to pick up the big wood chips before I vacuumed then it wouldn’t happen….but really, do I want to do that much work?
Oh Amy, *sigh* I can relate way too much! I hope your day got better.
Love, Jem, the woman who is holding out for a Dyson…heh heh heh
