I'm a poor student here, I can't afford anything other than my parents' hand-me-down vacuum from the early 80's. I called my mom and we decided it was just the end of the vacuum that wasn't working, so I should just take that off and use the hose to vacuum for now and they'd see if they could order a cheap new one and get it sent down here to me next week. So I tried that, and it won't even suck through the hose!!!! I am so frustrated, and my dog keeps sniffing and licking at the carpet, which isn't good for her!
On top of that, my washer went and died last week, and i can't get it fixed until monday, so I have piles of clothes and towels and sheets in my bedroom until then
All I want is a clean house...
