And i couldnt got a engineers job ...

This week could have been very expensive ...first the dishwasher broke...but managed to fix it ..then my mobile broke , My son helped with that ..then the Microwave packed up tonight ...the baked spuds came out as cold as when the went in ...so out came the tool kit again....I found the fault after a few minutes, blown a blown fuse , and a faulty switch ...a quick bodge to be sure and it worked ...so i will get new bits tomorrow prob for a couple of quid ,,will save me a few hundred ....and no one would take me on as a engineer, their loss ..

Well done for fixing the problems yourself. There's a lot to be said for being knowledgable about some things.
