    Application is in, although I'm not convinced I'll get very far as a lot of the questions were specific to the industry rather than the discipline (at the end of the day, as supplier is a supplier surely :confused: I can't believe that those in some sectors behave wildly differently from the rest... although I will be asking a few questions of the commercial team when I'm back in tomorrow!)

    Right... what else did I have to do today?!

    Better start looking for more jobs to apply for while I've got the hang of it!

    ETA - Grateful - sounds is if Hex might know the answer if she managed to guess the make. Obviously the description was familiar...

    Back from my HHI....this is such a strange feeling, it's been five days now since I conquered my ironing mountain and have stayed on top of the ironing....and I'll have to stay on top of it as my dh has filled the space that used to be taken by my second ironing basket with two trays of sweetcorn seedlings :D

    Hex however did you guess?! Yes its a f@&%"FG zanussi.

    Bitter experience! Well guessed Greenbee.

    I hate mine with a passion - the top shelf is just plain stupid. Over time the holding on wheel things start to perish. DH swapped the front ones for the back ones and set the top shelf to a different height which [STRIKE]stopped[/STRIKE] improved the falling out problem.

    The spraying gunk thing is more complicated, but I think it is a simialr problem. Does the top shelf have a rotating sprayer thing on it? Mine was absolutely full of gunk (despite regular cleaning washes, chemical rinses, etc) as was the back bit it connects onto. DH dismantled it, cleaned it out as best he could and re-built it about six months ago, and it is just starting to be an issue again. The whole thing is a design fault, and I would never ever buy a Zanussi again. In fact I wouldn't accept one as a free gift. I have had mine maybe 3 years?

    I now have no ironing at all left to do :j.

    I still need to clean out my car but I can't till DH stops working. I also can't find my driving licence which I need for the garage tomorrow, or the Jack Johnson cd that DS2 needs for school tomorrow :o.

    I think you need to get yourself a nice shiny lockable filing cabinet... or a safe... or a room to lock your children in ;)
