Well I did it, I bought myself a Chrissy present and a mud cake 😂

My pressie to myself is a robo vacuum thingy since this house is about 90% carpet. Time will tell if it’s either an invaluable addition, or a cheap piece of shit that’ll shit itself and end up in landfill within 3 months (I went budget end, but slightly up from the cheapest)

(It won’t arrive until the 27th though because holidays)

I loooove my robot vac. His name is Barnaby, as he makes binary decisions and always turns to the right. I don’t yet have googly eyes on him, but that is coming someday. He doesn’t deal well with getting stuck in corners, so has to be rescued when this happens. I don’t count this a fault or a problem.

  Pew (pete two, original rommba pete was an aldi special) has extreme issues with our black rug. He thinks it’s a black hole come to claim his soul

  Mum got into those TV shopping things and bought a vacuum that came with a first gen Roomba. Those things were idiotic as. It used to suck up the curtain, end up upside down and spinning it’s wheels back and forth while screaming for help
  
  This new one is considerably cheaper but does have lidar. It’s also had like 7 years to evolve, let’s see how it’s changed!

  I’ll name it the same way I name pets - wait until I meet it and see what it’s like
