I didn't realize anyone on here had them, I did a search and not much came up. We had a play with it last night and the suction was great, scary to see what came out of the rug.

I bought mine because of JulieO's recommendation. It is great on the staircase - no more dragging a heavy vacuum up the stairs.  :D

With two small boys I wouldn't be without my Dyson hand held.

Do they lose their ability to retain charge. I had one years ago and after about 12 months you could not charge it anymore. It wasn't a Dyson. I'd love something easy for the large living area, it is all tiles.

I have only had mine since September Cookie but it charges up very well (the charge only lasts approx. 20 mins on full power). Would be brilliant for the tiles. I only have floor boards and tiles and two rugs and it is really good for the in-between vacs. It vacuums the rugs very well too.

I too love the dyson - have had the large 'barrel' for about 5 yrs. Everybody I know is happy with the Animal pro model.  :)  :)

Cookie they aren't meant to loose their ability to charge and that's one of the reason why I payed the extra and got the dyson, it's a lot of money for a handheld but we haven't had one for years because we got sick of the batteries running out in the cheaper brands/models.

I just bought the pink Dyson animal last week & I'm loving it so far. We got a great deal from the Good Guys.The carpet along the skirting boards has never looked so good :) It's good on my cream bathroom tiles too. My friend has one, so I was keeping watch for when it was on special, because I knew that hers was really good.

We got the blue one from The Good Guys still on special so my timing was perfect. I'm really looking forward to having a go at upstairs which doesn't see the vacuum very much. I can't believe I can't wait to vacuum!

Saw some cute brownies in a coffee shop today made in individual squares, anyone seen or know of where you can buy the pans?

I may have to get that cleaner if it makes you want to vacuum.  :D :D

and

and some fake flowers that look real (with all these open houses, I'm sick of buying fresh flowers each week, good quality fake ones will do the trick and be cheaper in the long run!)

and some clothes for DD and this one... hard cover on sale at QBD for $14.99!

I've seen them around a lot of places like WW, kmart and Target, I tried POK for you with no luck. I googled 'square muffin tin' and got a few links :)

Ghm they are square muffin pans or tins... Mainly on ebay or fishpond has them too.. Notsureabout cooking shops.. Noticed they are called 12 cup square muffin trays.. Im sure if youhave a look around you will find them.. After a quick search apparentlythey were muffin pans but became really popular for brownies.. So thereyou go 😁

GHM I've seen them at Target in Melbourne, they were near the registers only last week and from memory were in a purple box.
