If you're a man, Bulba, I'm afraid the answer is "all the time!"
It's not such a daft idea, you know. At the risk of incurring MG's wrath, you have a little support here.
We have three vacuum cleaners - one with a hepa filter to fine-tune furniture and rugs (no carpets in Italy) when they're covered in cat fur (we have rather a lot of them - cats, that is), a robust upright (British) that beats as it sweeps as it cleans for the heavy duty cleaning, and a wussy little Italian "pull-it-around-behind-you" version for jobs like cleaning out the woodburning stove flue, the greenhouse, the car after we've been bringing home plants and animal feed, under the kitchen units, the dusty corners of the cellars and the garden steps, and the beams when they are festooned with cobwebs and a broom is no longer enough! We've got a "Henry", too, but he never gets used. Your last comment sounds awfully familiar, but you need to add a rider - " or if I'm asked (told) to." :o)

Gattina we too have three vacuum cleaners. The one himself used is for the car, potting shed etc. I just find it a little odd that he vacuumed the floor of the greenhouse - he's never done that before! Must be a sign of his age :-)

What worries me is the noise it must have made for him to be asked if he was sawing something! What sort of engine is it? Perhaps the turbo has failed?

It is called Paranoia, don't worry most people suffer from it. Just ignore the voices .............I do.

Or MG, could it just be that all those years of suggestions, instructions, orders, requests, (dare I say conscience?) etc., are finally bearing fruit? Bless him, you should be breaking open the champagne, not giving him a hard time! I think a greenhouse floor being hoovered is a brilliant idea - it's lateral thinking and it certainly must save a bit on the bending. If I could hoover the weeds out of the vegetable garden, my back and I would be Soooo happy!
OB, those voices are sometimes the only English-speaking company I get - it breaks up the day.
P.S. Before you know it, those pesky catalogues full of gadgets you never knew you couldn't do without will be full of "Greenhouse Hygiene" vacuum cleaners. Can you take out a patent, Bulba?

The other thing to bear in mind, Bulba is the rhyme - 'The faults of women are many, but those of men, just two - everything they say and everything they do' !!!

Very true...........

" I think, therefore I am."
I think 'I' am perfect, therefore .....

of course you can do the right thing, just get indoors and show MG you know how to wield that vacuum :o))

My OH uses 'George' wet and dry for the carpets in the car! don't think he has ever used it properly in the house.

What does a vacuum cleaner look like? Don't think I have ever used one of them!

I'm going to sort himself out behind closed doors - and windows! MG :-)

Spoilsport!

i think BA might just like that MG, be careful of what you start ;o)

Me and OH (miss jiff) do things which are not normal, get some funny comments, if it works good for you, we was tolled once to slab over the hole garden once, it's cheaper to mow grass, Lol
