A look at my Dysons - December 2015

Image
A long overdue update! I bought all the Dysons I owned down from the loft before Christmas, and had a bit of a photoshoot. These pictures are out of date now, as there has been some movement. is what it looked like! Here we have the oldies: DC01 De Stijl DC01 Absolute+ DC01 Standard  DA001 DC02 Standard As for the rest: The DC18 is awaiting surgery and refurbishment The DC50 is waiting for a miracle! The DC03 Clear is no longer with me, it now lives in Manchester in a glass case! The DC03 Absolute Plus I still have The DC05 Needs a new wand The DC16 gets used daily I also have a scrap DC02 Clear now, although that is being broken for spares. I also have a late DC01 Standard, which is faded and will be lent out to a family member after refurbishment as a stop gap vacuum. I didn't mean to start collecting DC01's, it just sort of happened!

Sorting out my paperwork

Image
All of my brochures, instruction manuals and other paperwork had been in disarray for years, so I decided to smarten it up. Bargain expanding files obtained from the supermarket. They came up at £3 each at the till, but a quick word at the customer services desk saw that reduced to £1 and some money back (I bought 3) What I had to sort through Started to categorize bits. Dyson Hoover (Missing a few here) Miele Sebo Numatic Random My girlfriend wrote all the labels as she has better handwriting than me My stock of air freshners wouldn't fit in, so they stayed out and went in a cupboard As did the service manuals The lever arch is full of bits I've printed off over the years, which is too thick to go in the box files. Either way, much neater!
