Vacuum cleaner broke. It was a cheap model from Amazon a year ago. I bought it as I was paying £15 a week for a Dyson from Brighthouse and I needed to cut my outgoings. Looking online, salivating over Shark and Dyson hoovers, out of my budget, like having a banger car and dreaming of a top of the range Range Rover. Credit dealers reject me. Am I ever allowed anything luxury in my life? As a single parent on low income with no child maintenance, I wont hold my breath.
