One of the drawbacks of not sleeeping at night is that one gets very quickly attached to the television; especially if you have cable TV as we do.

The other night I was watching one of those shopping channels from America dubbed into French. The guy was trying to sell an H2O X5 all in one steam cleaner. Apparently it can clean every type of wall and floor surface; mirrors and glass; toilets and taps; car wheels; etc. and even steam out creases in clothes.

The price was 119€ which seemed reasonable considering its enormous cleaning potential and the fact that we are still in the building stage; so the house is very dirty and dusty. Of course, it also seemed reasonable because the guy had me hooked on it after the first half an hour.

Next door to Castorama in Puget/Argens there is an “As Seen on TV” shop that sells this on-line stuff off-line.

Carine and I went yesterday to buy the paint for Liams beedroom [light green and light orange :~)] and whilst she popped to the loo I bought the H20 X5…ha ha…

Have to say it’s better than the last one that we had that Carine broke. Later this afternoon I’m going to put on the high-pressure nozzle and zap the bathroom sink. I know that in a months time it’ll be ripped out of the wall but I’ll see how clean I can get it.
