    If only I could but lunch in Exeter and back here for 3.30 to pick up the girls is pushing it even with my driving. Give us a bit more notice next time and I'll sort something :smileyhea
    I can be in Exeter for lunch tomorrow if anybody else can. Say 1pm....? Last chance ... option closes in a few hours.
    I think....

    Can I just ask whether other couples argue about how to fill the dishwasher?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    The DW does it 'wrong' cos she knows it annoys me:

    Cups on the top shelf should go at the back first as that makes it easier to the final ones in - starting at the front is just lazy
    And you need to be careful with the cutlery, if you leave anything sticking up too high it will catch the spinning spray arm for the top layer

    Plus several others - I try not to rise to the bait so as not to encourage her...and of course life is too short to care about how a dishwasher is loaded....

    Sadly, I have a pre-interview meeting at lunchtime tomorrow

    and yes, we do argue about the dishwasher.


    Cold still around and I need to concentrate and things are not happening

    I said 1pm as I've no idea what time I'll be available, could be as early as 11.30... so I said 1pm to be sure.

    I've only used a dishwasher once, didn't like it. It made the shiny plates feel like they'd been sand-blasted... and the cheap/plasticware (like tiny measuring jugs etc) all seemed to glaze/shatter.

    I'd not choose to get one

    Oooh, now I'm really hopeful for the job, you mentioned really liking exeter so it would be great if you were working there.

    Too far for me...sorry, time of year, critters and cold all make it seem even further than it is :o
    GOOD LUCK!
