    Yes I think so. Waiting for "repairer" to call back - damn difficult to find these ppl:D told OH if its repairable and cost no more than £50 to repair go ahead & do it but if it cost £100 to repair - told him to tell the bu99er to go away as me shall get a new oven:cool:

    You are right there:rotfl::rotfl: but I think I still have £70 giftcards so that will at least offset £250ish oven.

    Am very poor now - my zafira service cost me £362:eek::eek: ex. vat as I go thru' company account - now will have to pay my boss £50 a week:rotfl:

    10 more mins time to go shopping again.

    My eldest DD has left for Uni today only saw her 3.5 days:eek: out of her 3 weeks at home:(. Already miss her...:cry: just got a call from her to say bye bye:cry:
