    New job vibes here also :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    My Hoover blew up and I had to get another. Fortunately had done tcb money. It was generally in a bad way anyway, held together with extra screws and tape so was almost happy to see it go.

    DS is three and would have a go at fixing it for you.
    I think he was born an engineer.

    Someone please talk me out of buying a lottery ticket!

    My dad fixed it last time, hence needing to unscrew it every time I ended to empty it.... he got the wrong part so decided to make it fit...
    Surprising being an electrician, Dave is useless at fixing electrical stuff so I still resort to asking my dad.
