So the final offer came through for the house and I’ve accepted.
Let’s just say it was more than the ‘I’ll be jumping around hosing champagne if I get this’ amount. And off market to boot so no marketing fees.
Thanks to all of you who crossed digits for me. 😁

I am. 😊. Agent negotiated for about 6 hrs so I’ve been phone watching for obvious reasons, so now I feel like a wrung- out dishcloth.

I’m such a dumbass. Had a meeting in the office yesterday at 10. We all went around introducing ourselves. I tell them who I am, my role and background. Guy says “Nice to meet you!” and I said “Thank you!! 😄” realising after three minutes, I cringed so hard after that. To be fair I hadn’t had my coffee nor my breakfast but still embarassing 😭😭😂

No, you owned that.

Onus was on him to say “you’re welcome”.

I’ve said ‘thanks, you too’ before, when a waiter has said ‘enjoy your meal’, so you’re not alone

So it turns out if you actually clean your vacuum cleaner properly it performs WAY better. Who’da thunk it? I had to pull it apart because it was saying airways blocked yesterday, which is apparently the level of cleaning I’m meant to be doing on this thing regularly anyway so I learned that too.

Also I just learned yesterday that you’re meant to replace the HEPA filters on Dyson stick vacuums once a year so I bought 2 aftermarket filters which arrive today. I’ve cleaned the existing one a few times, yesterday giving it a more thorough cleaning which was the cause of the “airways blocked” message, but apparently replacing them will make the vacuum perform even better.

It’s actually crazy how much dust/dirt this thing lifts off what I thought were pretty clean carpets. It must have been doing a pretty piss-poor job before I cleaned it.

Are these anywhere near as good as mains powered vaccums?

No, if you’re comparing to good quality corded vacuums like a Miele etc - but I think they are quite sufficient for minor daily vacuuming especially on hard surfaces. Highly recommended for things like vacuuming the kitchen evey evening or play areas if you have kids

I haven’t done a direct comparison myself but I can tell you they are very good! For smaller places like my apartment they’re a no-brainer.
