My Dyson flicks bits behind it!

My DC07 has always been fantastic but recently it's started to flick bits behind it instead of sucking them up.  The suction up the hose is as good as ever.  Sometimes, I think it's picked something up then a few seconds later kit's dropped it on the floor again     What's happening?  I'm guessing it's lost suction somewhere along the line but where?  And what do I do about it, please?  I'm only a girlie and not too technical, so easy explanations, please     Thank you for any help.

Oh, I've fixed it!!!  I turned it upside down, removed the bottom plate thingy and there was a piece of cardboard half up the hose     No wonder the poor thing was struggling     Oh how I love Mr Dyson, though.  He made everything so easy to fix

I just love womens descriptions of things.     

Just teasing! Glad you got fixed up Polly.
