    Morning (afternoon!) and thanks for all the welcomes. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sleeps in a dumping ground... our loft entrance is so tiny that we don't fit much up there, which is a shame since it's huge!!

    I was good last night and this morning and am very pleased to say for the very first time..... DONE!!! STAR PLEASE!!! :)

    Well, I think you're doing great !!
    From your signature, you have given up smoking AND lost weight :T:T:T
    Most people put on weight when they give up smoking, I know I did :eek:
    Have a wee virtual pat on the back from me :o:D

    My recommendation is don't buy a Zanussi anything!.

    Apart from their washers which even I cannot kill!!! I have 2 at a go and in the last 10 years have had 6.. my mother had 2 and my friend has had the same one for about 20 years.

    TD's.. Hoover.. wouldn't touch anything else (esp white knight) with a 1000 ft barge pole.. and don't even consider a condenser they are rubbish.. absolute waste of money and cost a bomb to run.

    Bosch DW
    Zanussi WM
    Hotpoint Fridge/freezer
    Hoover vented dryers..
    Henry the floor sucker
