Making a little pile

Well hello dear readers. I keep forgetting about this tipster blog over here.

Today's tip is to do with vacumming.

First tip is how to spell it.

It's apparently how I've spelled it up there. Just a fluke I think.

Second tip is how to avoid dragging it out of the cupboard, finding a socket for the plug, being annoyed when you quickly realise that you'll have to use more than one electrical outlet to do the entire floor. It always seems such a nuisance getting that thing out, doesn't it? Having to put the hose in, extend the hose. Bloody nora!

Now, please note, the following tip will only work if you have a smooth floor covering, ie wood boards, linoleum, tiles. NOT CARPET.

What you do is get a broom and you sweep up all the dust, dirt, hair, fluff bunnies and their children, shreds of paper, dropped cereal, lint, skin shreddings and finger nail bits and you make a pile in the corner somewhere. You leave the broom over it. This stops people a) seeing it and b) walking on top of it.

Then next time you have the vac out, you suck it up.

Try it. It's very European.
