RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - cee_jay - 23-11-2021 I have a Dyson V11 Absolute. It's a vacuuming dream. RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - ari101 - 23-11-2021 Haha a Dyson of that quality is probably out of the price range, I'll be replacing a Miele that was rather expensive in it's day, just too heavy/cumbersome now. I wish a painting would work - I'd probably get looked at like I've gone off my rocker All else fails, bottle of cologne and a scarf, but I've done both of those many multiples of times RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - dawg - 23-11-2021 The Miele will be working in 20 years time If you want to be practical you could ( Ho, Ho, Ho ! ) give a big multipack of replacement bags for it RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - ari101 - 23-11-2021 (23-11-2021, 09:58 PM)dawg Wrote: The Miele will be working in 20 years time Yeah the Miele is still as good as the day it was bought We also bought a Miele dishwasher around the same time also going strong 20+ years on! RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - dawg - 24-11-2021 Felt very aggrieved having to replace our Miele D/W in 2007...you see it was almost new ( i.e. bought in the mid 70's ) RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Sephiroth_Dude - 25-11-2021 (23-11-2021, 08:28 PM)ari101 Wrote: Haha a Dyson of that quality is probably out of the price range, I'll be replacing a Miele that was rather expensive in it's day, just too heavy/cumbersome now.

Must send this to my bro, wonder what the kitten in his house would make of it! (Probably see it as the enemy, its in a fighting phase ) RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - jp liz v1 - 26-11-2021 A month to Crimbo RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - E.N. - 26-11-2021 My daughter's montessori have been getting into the Toy Show spirit with these, ummm, artworks... RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Mam of 4 - 26-11-2021 Love it E.N. !! One of the garages here in town has petrol and diesel on offer today , diesel €1.39 a litre ! I got a phone call to tell me to fill up the car☺ RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Necro - 26-11-2021 (26-11-2021, 01:11 PM)Mam of 4 Wrote: Love it E.N. !! That's not bad considering current prices but imagine that it's actually considered cheap at that price Fuel prices are nuts at the moment.

I've started looking longingly at electric cars. They're expensive but we need a new car anyway, and being self employed there's some decent tax breaks on them. That's my next project once we get the house sorted, see if I can justify one! RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Necro - 26-11-2021 (26-11-2021, 01:40 PM)E.N.

Electricity is through the roof at the moment too, and when the current issues abate just like insurance prices will they drop? Will they flip!!

(can't believe Mam turned the Christmas thread into a car one, she's such a grinch ) RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - ari101 - 26-11-2021 A mod will boot us all to the Rant Thread if we are not careful... Plus side of being sick means, although I am missing my early Xmas dinner party with my girlies in the West I'm saving having to buy diesel to get there and back RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - cee_jay - 26-11-2021 Our street seems to have been lit up overnight. So many houses have Christmas lights up now outside. RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Zaph - 26-11-2021 Our window lights went up last night, and the tree has just gone up in the last hour or so. If it was outside you could probably see it from space, there are over 1400 lights on it. RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - nothing - 26-11-2021 A balcony across from me has been lit up with stuff painted on the windows and a projected santa since the day after Halloween RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Butty Brennan - 27-11-2021 (26-11-2021, 09:46 PM)nothing Wrote: A balcony across from me has been lit up with stuff painted on the windows and a projected santa since the day after HalloweenJingle balls to that. People will probably want to leave it a bit later this year to save money on the lights with the price of electricity. I saw a bit of a Christmas movie the other day where the Queen and Prince of England were stranded in a town in America on Christmas Eve, this all-american family invited them to spend Christmas with them, but the thing is that the family and nobody else in the town recognised them. I mean, come on RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Loughc - 30-11-2021 Ah I’m home. Gets comfy seat. RE: The Foggies Christmas thread - Mam of 4 - 30-11-2021 Are you playing the Advent Sheep game , Father Christmas? ETA, It's ok , I see that you are !

If their cordless ones work as well, it would be well worth it!
