Tell me about it  :tired:
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Can't really repeat what I said when I saw this post Mark..........  I bet you can guess!!  When is Leigh gonna put his twopeneth in!!   :evillaugh: :naughty: :Luv2:

Why don't you get one of those dustpan and brush sets that have long handles?  I got one from a hardware shop years ago for my mum as she has osteo arthritis all over her body and then I decided to get myself one after seeing how good it was.  Only about £3.

Your idea is god as well Mary - they are quite handy. I hand a cheapo one before but they sell nicer ones in Sainsbury's. The only thing is it reminds me of being a Busboy in Heaven nighclub about 25 years ago. We had to go round sweeping with those all the time - still it wasn't as bad as cleaning up sick off the dancefloor  :sick:

This one will probably do the job and only £10 as it's 1/2 price  ;D - also it's rechargeable  :)

The suction ones are probably a lot easier for litter - we have floorboards in the kitchen and there are gaps - Willow gets it everywhere  :evillaugh:

She will probably end up with her own house in the garden the way she is going.

I find with the ultra-clumping, a lot goes on the floor in front of the tray. I am loathe to use my posh new vac on it so contantly on my hands and knees sweeping up (I have a 50p Wilksinsons dutpan and brush for each tray  :evillaugh: ) I just want one of those plastic ones that is strong enough to suck up litter - any ideas - as long as it does the job, the cheaper the better.
