    not brave enough to do that :o They have a really good automated system where even if you don't get an interview you are notified. I wonder if the original closing date and interview date was wrong. It was a huge timescale, shouldn't even close for another 2 weeks.

    Hmmmm........I can't see they would just pull a nationally advertised job to get me in on the say so of another manager. If the person recruiting me didn't like me/want me etc they would have to start again and re-advertise. Going to dig around to see if I can find it advertised anywhere else still. I guess pulled funding could be another reason, it's a new post.

    As my interview outfit now drowns me I don't really want to get called in at the moment!!

    Oh Sal - that would be cute! Great price too!

    Butti - I brown 2 chicken breasts that have been chopped up along with 2 onions, 2 apples cut into chunks, a hand full of dried apricots cut up, big hand full of sultanas, a couple of carrots sliced and then some chickpeas (I cook them in bulk and freeze in portions)....add some cumin, chilli powder and fresh corriander from the garden and shove in the SC with 2 tins of 8p sauce - on low for about 3/4 hours.

    Will have it with brown rice. Will serve the 4 of us tonight (DD's eat as much as us) and there will be enough left for another 2 big portions for the freezer (or enough to go over jacket spud for the 4 of us). If I don't have any chickpeas I often add a couple of sliced potatoes to bulk it out a bit - sometimes caulifower too - just depends what needs using up.

    Hey Pooky - what capacity is your SC?

    Bedroom and what used to be the dining room now cleaned. Now have to tackle the dining room table where I have bunged all the stuff I've found without a home.
    I really want to be digging but still too wet out there. :(
