I’m obsessed with good sheets. Okay, I know, I know, I’m obsessed with alotta things. I love stuff; the more the better. I even lugged a set o’ sheets all the way back from Noo Yawk. They cost $480. ON SALE. Ssssh, let’s not tell SilverFox ’bout that people. Might wanna keep that quiet.

Recently, I was gifted a quilt cover from the lovely folk at Shuteye. (http://www NULL.shuteye NULL.com NULL.au/) Lucky me! What makes these different from your garden variety sheets, is that they’re reversible. Yes! Reversible! Hello, did someone say 2–4-1?

Just flip your quilt cover over and hey presto! Washing done.

Say, one-too-many-shandys-Aunt-Mavis suddenly decides to sleep over faceplants the floor, or your little-brother-from-another-mother-is-playing-sleepover, just flip the quilt and there’s a side to suit both: young, old (or just drunk). Genius!

And maybe this has only occurred to me? (Wouldn’t be the first time!) Imagine it’s winter and it’s raining, and you haven’t had a chance to do the laundry (well that’s my excuse anyway). Just flip your quilt cover (http://www NULL.shuteye NULL.com NULL.au/)over and hey presto! Washing done. Surely I’m not the only person that thought of that? C’mon throw a dog a bone o’er here! Happy Friday. MC

It’s all about the details Darling:

Last week I was twittering about how much I love my little Ninja Kitteh (FYI, a lot!) but how I hate that he leaves a fur trail all over the house. And for an Asthmatic like me, it can really affect my breathing. Much to his chagrin, it doesn’t stop me from smothering him with kisses and cuddles. I’m his Mum, I’m meant to be embarassing. It’s part of the gig!

So…vacuum cleaners aren’t really something that I ever thought I’d write about on MsCritique, until I got contacted by the peeps at Dyson (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) who said that they have a vacuum cleaner that would be the perfect solution to my problem. I should mention at this point, I’ve had a Dyson (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) for the last 5 years or so (that I bought myself) this one, however was provided to me for the purposes of this review.

FYI, Heidi Montag, you probably don’t any more suction.

The first thing that strikes me about the handheld DC34 Animal (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) is the odd shape. It’s kinda screaming ‘I mean business’ and boy oh boy, does it! This thing is M.E.A.N. Grrrr! It has this magic booster button that really ramps up the power for when you need an extra bit o’ suction. FYI, Heidi Montag, you probably don’t any more suction. Just sayin’.

The best part, is that it’s cordless and like all Dysons (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) you get to see all the crap that gets picked up in the clear-containery-thingy (technical term). Apparently it has twice the amount of suction than any other handheld. After road testing this baby, I believe it!

Y’see the idea of lugging around my bigger, heavier Dyson (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) just to pick up some kitty hair really doesn’t appeal to me. I hate vacuuming enough as it is (add ironing, dusting and mopping to the list too). I just really love the idea of  having this in a cupboard close by, ready to g-o. I’ve discovered it’s also great to chase Ninja around the house with; he’s petrified of it! Like I said, grrr! (http://www NULL.dyson NULL.com NULL.au/store/product NULL.asp?product=DC34-IRSPL) Or should that be meow? MC

// Dyson DC34 Animal.

// I love you kitteh, but not your hair!

// What you get.

// Begone kitty hair!

// The magic button. No, not THAT magic button!

// What a poser!

// N’awww.

// Nothing more satisfying to see that it’s working.

// My old Dyson. Still lovin’ it.

// Clearly he takes after his Mama!
