I think my sister has just discovered the cure for postnatal depression. Of course, I may be a bit deluded - and isn't that one of the symptoms? But I went to visit her yesterday since I was feeling a bit low (ie depressed) due to the previous night's lack of sleep.
We had a bit of a chat, some lunch and as I was leaving she asked me to have a look at her newest gadget, a little tiny Dyson Rechargeable Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
! As I held it she switched it on and commented, "Feel the suction on that" and proceeded to empty the contents of the appropriately named "Crunchy Nut Cornflakes" all over her floor!
As I bent over to clean them up with this little device, I too fell for the power of its suction! It was amazing.
(According to her the only downside she has so far discovered is that it only has enough power for around six minutes continuous use - but it is only meant for small jobs around the house and car. And anyway if I need to do a proper vacuuming job I have my big cleaner for that!)
When she whispered the price to me I balked momentarily (almost £100), before enquiring where she had purchased it. I then asked for directions to the shop and she led in her car!
She even sat in my car with my children as I rushed in to make this impromptu purchase!
(By the way, I had no hesitation in buying Dyson as I have already got a Dyson Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner which I purchased about three years ago and still works like new, as long as I rinse the filters regularly. And their after-sales service is also great as I discovered when I broke part of the wand whilst cleaning and they posted me out a replacement free of charge even though the cleaner was two years old at that point!)
Honestly, she is wasted. She works long and hard and is by all accounts a very devoted nurse but I truly believe she should be a saleswoman. I was the third person in as many days to purchase the handheld on her advice.
She even made a follow-up call this morning to see if I was happy with it! And when I gushed about how wonderful it was, how I was able to clear up the childrens' breakfast mess without having to go anywhere near the garage for my full sized Dyson Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner
she chuckled happily and informed me. "Didn't I tell you I'd found the cure for post-natal depression?"
And I have to agree. It's a little marvel!
