Help. Being a lazy untidy male who now lives alone as my ex wife threw me out and my mum is dead, I am not used to using hoovers at home but I have got a Henry vacuum cleaner and the seller sold 5 bags with it. But after the first bag got full and I dumped it I found it impossible to find out how to insert one of the new bags being thick about that sort of thing. So as my house was getting a bit grubby I therefore left the bag out and switched on and found it worked brilliantly! I note on another recent Yahoo Answer some said emptying bagless vaccuum cleaners is bad news But when emptying time came around I put a boiler suit on and took it outside and empted it in bin and then had a bath which I needed anyway then carried on using it. So no problem whatsoever. So is there any reason why I need to put a bag in? I mentioned it to somebody at work who thinks that if you use a Henry without a bag it will blow up? Is that true?

im guessing something is clogged. what can i buy to fix this? an auger wont work because the way the sink is, you cant put anything non-liquid down there. it goes down very very slow. toilet water rises after flushing but wont go down all the way. its like something is holding it back from going down.

Ive recently bought a house and the central heating was working fine. I had a new kitchen fitted and turned the water off the plumber. It was leaking so I opened all the hot taps to get rid of the water.

Since turning the water back on my central heating comes on and the radiators go luke warm, then the boiler goes off. It kicks back in sporadically but doesnt heat the radiators very well.

I've tried all the stuff in the manual and the boiler is fine. Ive also set my thermo to max but nothing. Ive now been advised to drain all my radiators (in case there is trapped air).

Will this correct the problem,and if not, can anybody diagnose the problem?

I've been using hair Cholesterol (a thick gooey like substance) in my hair..and sometimes there's pieces that would just float in the water and eventually go down the bath tub drain..well now water won't drain out at all. Do you think the Cholesterol is what clogged the drain? Is there someway I could get it out without calling a plummer? Thanks

I have caught five mice in my attic in the last two months. I use a humane trap, drive a couple of miles away and release them. What I would really like to know is how they get up there, Its a fairly new detatched bungalow and the only way that I can figure is that they can climb an eight foot high vertical wall, is this possible? I would`nt mind them so much but they are eating me bleedin water pipe insulation, its a real mess up there. Mountaineering Mice?

My husband is a tea drinker and I enjoy coffee. Over time both drinks have produced stains in our favorite cups, even with thorough washing after use.

Has anyone found a way to get rid of these brownish stains that really works?

I have an old system in my house, seperate hot water and central heating. Luckily my hot water is still working, but last week the pilot light went out so I have no central heating. We have tried re-lighting it, but it only stays on for a short time before going off again. We have cleaned out all the dust, but its still not working. Any advice?

I'm growing oregano at school and spearmint at home. I want to grow a lot more, too. I've heard everywhere that when they start to flower, you have to take the buds off, but what's all this 'cutting back' and 'pinching' stuff? Don't you just use the leaves? I'm a very, very beginner (I hesitate to say 'gardener' I'm so green...pun definitely not entended) so put it in the most simple terms possible. As if you were talking to the plant itself, please.
Thank ye kindly.

Does anyone know where on the net i can purchase something like this? It is to join two pipes together inside my attic. One is to an outside vent and the other is to what i think might be my drainage pipes??? On one end it fits over the outside pipe, but on the other end fits inside. This end has rubber seals on it and is shapes like a spout. The name i have given might be wrong, i am not sure. I also think it might be something called a flexible elbow joint? I need answers, please help?

Thanks to all who participate.....
