Thursday December 10 (aka I Kinda Dislike Being Busy)

[ecchi]

Today is a sleeping day. Went to bed about 7:30pm last night, woke up just before 11am this morning, washed, dressed, breakfasted, and did about half an hour on the computer, then fell asleep in the chair. Woke up about three and a half hours later, remembered that I had bills that had to be paid at the bank (haven't had the energy to do it for the last couple of weeks, and they were already late when I fell ill). Fortunately the bank is only 15 minutes walk away, so I paid them, came back and typed this, and now I feel like another nap!

I mean I've only slept about 19 of the past 21 hours, so obviously I'm not getting enough sleep!!!!!!!

One of my favourite movie quotes. (Anorak Alert -Nerd Stiff Ahead) The quote actually comes from the first (and best) of the movies. The line is slightly different in the book, and in the remake they went with the version in the book.

Cleo - A broom will never clean as well as a powerful vacuum (in fact, going by my experience using my landlord's underpowered vacuum, even an underpowered vacuum is better than a really hard sweeping). So, if your guests are used to a vacuumed house they are always going to see a swept room as "dirty", however good a job you do.

I disagree. Back when I did own a vacuum I found myself having to use a broom after I used the vacuum. Either way my tile floors still need to be mopped in order to get them really clean.

I've been wanting to buy this combo vacuum/mop. I had something similar for carpets and it worked great, but was really big and too much of a hassle to use for just cleaning tile floors so gave it away. The Hoover FloorMate Hard Floor Cleaner is about the same size as alpine vacuum and seems to get the best reviews of all the hard floor cleaners.
