Well, wasn't that entertaining.

This afternoon I was doing the vacuuming. Our nice Dyson vacuum got a bit wrecked when our next door neighbour fitted the shower the other week. To cut a long story short, the cylinder fell off as I was vacuuming and I decided to stick a Crunchie wrapper into the hole that the air was sucking into (as you do (!!) - what a frigging idiot). Unfortunately that hole was one that wasn't supposed to be exposed and it sucked the wrapper in and made a very worrying noise as it tried to get into the motor and filter. I then spent the next half an hour getting increasingly more dirty and annoyed as I took the vacuum to pieces using an electric drill with a screwdriver attachment. I won though. I extracted the Crunchie wrapper, screwed all the bits back on in the right place and finished the vacuuming! Hurrah!
