I was very lucky to win a cordless vaccuum cleaner from a blog competition. A serious accident and long-term health problems has left me struggling somewhat with household tasks and getting my vac up and down the stairs was quite beyound me. So this has made my life so much easier and it's a great little machine.
I love entering blog comps as you find out lots of interesting things while you are comping and they are a great source of ideas, recipes, and personal stories. This one was the usual gleam type of entry - they put some people off because of the number of tasks but they are quite quick to do and some of the prizes are fabulous.
The vac is really light and easy to use and very easy to charge up - it just plugs into a normal socket and it does a really good job for a cordless vac so I'm delighted with my win.
