That's... um... very practical. Not that I'm not a practical gal but Talon has instructions not to buy me a vacuum unless it doubles as a flamethrower.
Well, our old vacuum was making a horrible noise and beginning to smoke, so it was well on it's way to converting itself into a flamethrower. I don't think that's a good thing. ;~)
The new one looks like a space ship, but it doesn't shoot flames.
A good vacuum is not just a trifle in this house, it's vital to this house not reverting back into the woods.
The real policy ecurbh and I have so far had is that we don't give presents to each other. We may use the excuse of a holiday to buy something we need (like tack or a horse trailer) but at this point each of us writing checks out of the same checkbook to surprise each other with just hasn't made a lot of sense.
