How many times

[Bathsheba]

do you attempt to pick something up with the vacuum cleaner before you actually bend down + get it with your fingers?
My average is usually about 6. x

If its a bit of string thats appeared from nowhere then about 10 times. Where do these bits of string appear from?

Who knows tiggs? Bit like those plastic thingies you cut to get price tags off clothes. They tend to suck up quite well though, and make a very satisfactory rattling noise when they do! x

Lol , I don't bend down , I stand there for ages teasing it into the suction or end up nearly scraping the end off the nozzle ! :-) xxxxxx
