Just trying to air the lounge from that awful burning pong! Me being me though there is another hoover upstairs - sometimes I wish I was not so clever. I could do with a glass of that cava right now Jan - bet it has all gone though ;o)
Calm my nerves? I rang Big Sis to share my tale of woe - the exact same thing happened to her last year. I told her I thought I had done a good impression of Corporal Jones from Dad's Army as soon as I saw the billowing smoke coming from it. She laughed at me :o( It is never too early Dris - cheers!
Like you needed one - pah!
What happened was - I was using the fine nozzle attachment on the long hose and had my back to the hoover itself. I thought it wasn't picking up too well. Then I thought I heard a change in the sound of the motor. When I eventually turned round to gfive it a dirty look (or a choice phrase) I couldn't believe the smoke coming from the base of it. Oh well, I wasn't expecting visitors today anyway!
Smells rank as well -its like when the hoover gets tickled up in something and you're frantically trying to turn it off.Think i'll give it a miss today-dont want to tempt fate ;)
