    Crossing my toes for you Dinah as my fingers are already crossed for my job applications! :D

    I very rarely iron either, my belief is that my body heat gets the creases out - that or if something is too creased to wear, I don't wear it :D

    Hehe I do that too, if it's too creased it gets shoved back into the cupboard to never get worn because I'll never be bothered to wear it! :rotfl:

    Don't get me started on hand washing...

    I'm somewhere in the middle on the ironing thing.
    If stuff is hung up its a LOT easier to Iron and a lot wont need it, but it also depends on what ya need the clothes for.
    Going to an interview, I'm Ironing that shirt every hour ;)
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Good luck with selling the car Dinah!

    Birdie - that is a shame about the job but good you were encouraged to apply for others. Hope you have more luck with the other one.

    NEWS ALERT!!!

    Have been keeping this under my hat for the last 2 months and it has been killing me.

    I HAVE A NEW JOB. Will be a Team Lead for a very diverse technical team. Start on 29th November!

    Still with the same company just a different team. Will be in the building across the road rather than the one now.

    My base salary will rise but will loose my shift allowance, so net outcome is a slight drop in salary but I go back to normal hours!

    Also, June is pay rise month so not that long to wait to recoup some of the loss.

    END OF NEWS ALERT!

    That's great - I bet you're relieved.
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
