Has anyone got one? and if so can you please tell me how the shampooing bit works, I have managed to soak all carpets and not a drop has been sucked up. My main confusion is do I have to switch between showering water, and sucking up in the same operation? I too scared to try it in case it blows up! Easy instructions please and thank you.

Hello Possums! So, will you be looking at retirement homes now, Jude? Before you make your decision, make sure you talk to the other guests...
Wish I could be a bit more personal and tell you all more than I do about my own circumstances. So much in my life is in the balance right now and I could use the sympathy. On the other hand, I'm kind of aware that we aren't really in a closet but rather blatantly blogging away, even though we don't think of it that way, and I'm wary of making myself identifiable to certain people. Don't y'all feel the same, now and then...? Besides, since I posted my seventies photo I feel I Am Become My Own Avatar, younger and thinner and above all healthier and more energetic than I am off screen - don't wanna ruin that illusion! (In my own mind, I mean.) Oh what an odd little corner of the internet we've found for ourselves to nestle down in... I'd miss us terribly if we weren't here, that's for sure.
Oh and Neti, baby next door loves you too ;)
Back a little later, I have a carpet (knife) question for Zuperman but have to leave here now.

The only marks I got at school were across the back of knuckles for mucking about in Maths and for standing still outside the dragons den while she decided what evil punishment she could inflict on wayward girls who didn't wear their hats in the High Street and bunked off Geography !
Oh dear Kit ..you need a shoulder to cry on by the sound of it .I tell you what ...you can sob on my shoulder (left side) if you let me sob on yours (right side ) !!
And ..after todays lawnmowing fiasco I think sob is a good word . Thwack might be better .....if Mr S .jams the B. thing up again !

crikey, we always gather speed when we're on the downward run with the wind behind us.......speaking of wind.....<looks round>
ooh Kit what can I say? you can let it all hang out - it's just a case of whether you say something & then wish you hadn't. I sometimes think I've said too much.... <heaves up 48JJ bazooms>.....but I expect most people skip my posts anyway.
& don't forget we've got email addies ...

Whoa, that's an awful lot of shoulders and violins right there...! Thanks you guys, you really are the best.)
Robinia, I'll be emailing those bleeding hearts to my eldest sister, she has a garden and she's very much into flowers; I wonder if she's acquainted with those.
Question for you, Zuperman. You know your way around a carpet knife, don't you (nine times out of ten, I mean, ha ha...) I have one that I use chiefly for cutting flowers and root systems. The blade is divided into short sections that you're supposed to break off one after the other as the edges grow dull. Which seemed like a brilliant idea at the store, except I just don't get it now that I've tried. There must be some kind of trick to it, can't use my bare hands, surely...? Signing off now, catch your reply maybe tomorrow.

I wish I had paid attention in Maths ..I still can't make half a crown last the week ....I'm always overspent by fourpence halfpenny .And I still get in a muddle about the Lesser Antilles. ..never mind ..I made two wonderful lifelong friends at school .
And we still can't make a rhubarb crumble with " rich crumbly pastry on top "girrrls ..according to our lovely Scots domestic science teacher who wore paper knickers .Have you ever had a crumble with pastry on the top ?
As for soused herrings ....don't ask !

Kit those knives are rubbish ..according to my son who does a lot of model making and yours truly who does a lot of fiddling around with decoupage etc. .They are dangerous ..you can snap them and the cut where the snap off bit is can fly off and do all sorts of damage.Invest in a proper set of craft knives with interchangeable blades or a proper Stanley knife for carperty doings.
oi..! that was my question....take no notice of her kip...erm....snap it off with some pliers ...hehe..!
well school was not me strong point...once at the house meeting(there was atkins elliot russel and sharp..i was in sharp),they demanded I stand up an explain why Id let the house down..(i was told this btw.)..I wasnt there....well the funfair was in town,and they needed help erecting the Waltzer...and I got payed a couple of bob.And the more I stayed away from school,the harder it got to go back there..my parents kept splitting up.I left school and went straight to work.I game home one night and the house was empty..my family had been kicked out ...but no bu$$er told me.So I bought a sleeping bag...and joined the Hippies in bournemouth gardens.(i was 16 )..and spent the next few years roaming .the country....hop picking in kent ...working in hotels etc...traveling europe...it really is important to have a settled back ground when your at school...anyways im rambling on here....but it might explain my spelling...(:O)

wow, at least you've been about a bit - I've been nowhere really...should have gone off with Michael from the fair shouldn't I? actually, out of the fair season he only lived a 20 min bus ride away, haha - think it was his gran that did the travelling.
Hey - ho, I'm always away somewhere in my head......
