    Why don't they supply a spare set of dishwasher filters so you can wash THEM in the dishwasher :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    A day of doing nothing is good (provided it is not every day!)
    I'm at Stansted and I am going to be swimming, running and practicing Spanish while my friend tries to overcome her fear of flying.
    Thats a really kind thing to do :) I went to my chosen airport half a dozen times to watch the planes taking off and landing, teaching myself the gut level knowledge as well as the intellectual knowledge.

    I have sold my Radley summer picture bag & the money will go off my CC.
    This will bring it under 1k which I am super pleased about.
    Sadly I dont think I have anything else worth selling.
