Gadgets make even mundane things fun.

One of our few extavagances (apart from our super dooper mattress) was this Dyson vacuum cleaner. I must admit I poo pood paying $350 for a vacuum cleaner when we could get one for $80. Ally stuck to her guns.

Well, I can now admit (after giving it a test run around the house), that Ally was right. It has three times more suction than I am used to and manouvres around like a pro. And it looks ultra cool - like something James Bond would use. It made vacuuming almost fun! From now I'll be actively asking to vacuum. So now I know the real reason for Ally's insistence.
