Do you vacuum every day

I hate vacuuming/hoovering whatever it’s called. Also hate dusting. So don’t vacuum as often as I should.

Much prefer ‘wet’ jobs, anything that requires water. My husband says I like ‘sossing’ about, if that makes sense.

What is a Roomba Charley?

Many of us are bone idle and use the word hoover instead of vacuum. I have a Miele downstairs and I have forgotten what is upstairs- + a Roomba so I do not possess and never have, a Hoover.

Vacuuming? Moi?

My vacuums are Dyson’s so I say vacuuming ☺️

When people are talking about hoovering or using their hoover, do they really mean vacuuming or using their vacuum? Or do most Gransnetters always buy the Hoover brand? Just wondering, as there are so many modern brands these days.

I used to do it every day when the children were small. Now, it’s about once a week, normally done by my cleaning lady. Dh has been wielding the machine but I’ve now charged up my Roomba and she happily burbles away vacuuming the floors for me.

On a similar domestic note, I had to iron something yesterday. Both iron and ironing board needed dusting before I could commence.

My robot vac is doing the whole of the ground floor now. I am sitting in the sun with a cuppa

Definitely not!

However I must admit to a hankering for one of those robot vacuum cleaner things........

Er...........every day?............do my eyes deceive me?????

My vacuum rests peacefully on its charger and I hate to disturb it. I wake it up when it looks dusty!

Three dogs means I vacuum downstairs most days. I sometimes don’t put the cleaner away.

Life is to short to be chained to the vacuum clean, I do it when I feel like it.. In fact I got the vacuum cleaner out this morning but then decided on a cycle ride and meeting my son. Now back home I can't be bothered.

I do most days but only because I had new carpets fitted the day before lockdown.

Now dusting...........

There is a large cobweb at the apex of the conservatory and it had a fly struggling in it. A large fat spider scurried out to inspect dinner about five minutes ago.

But now the fly has escaped somehow.
If I did my cobwebbing I would have no entertainment.

Once a week does me.

Why do we have to be grateful?

I suppose he is grateful when I cook him something!
And so he should be.

I’ve no idea Callistemon- is it because they were praised by their mothers for doing something remotely domestic back in the day and we’ve just picked up the reins?

Only when I can write my name in the dust !!

Pantglas why is it that men need a gold star chart on display?

Wearing out the Hoover?!! I don't want to wear out me!!?. So only when strictly necessay!!
Lemon, I think it was Elizabeth 1st(?) who bathed once a month, whether she needed to or not!!!??

Before lockdown started I bought an expensive handheld lightweight vacuum cleaner because I knew our wonderful cleaner wouldn’t be able to come, and the trusty Miele cylinder cleaner is so heavy. What a good thing I did - comparatively effortless to use - but only when needed - without damaging my fragile back. We may not look as good as when we have help but we haven’t become Miss Havisham!

DH has been vacuuming since he retired a decade ago and he’s treated himself to a new cordless hand held headlighted one (he does like a gadget). He also expects a gold star ⭐️ whenever he does it!

My granddaughter hoovered for me in March, have to wait for
her to come in July for next hoovering. !

Once a week ( whether it needs it or not)?

That was to Henetha & Bluebelle
