Gremlins ??

Is this just me, or does it happen to everyone ?

It started last w/end. My heating system packed in, no engineer available 'til next week, so I have been shivvering all week, going to bed in old tracky bottoms and sweaters, and everyone living in one room on an evening, around the log burning stove.

At about the same time, my main washer packed in, booked engineer, he never turned up, am waiting for another day next week.

Luckily I have a second washer which I keep to wash dog blankets and working clothes in, so thats been doing extra work all week, but today that started to make a very funny groaning noise...still working though..so I will work it 'til it drops now !

Two weeks ago, just 3 days out of its insurance, my dryer died. If only I had remembered to renew last year. (thanks, Arimidex) I pulled out an old dryer from the back of the garage, and am using that, but its so small. I went out last w/end and bought a big Whirlpool dryer, gets it home, realises it won't fit our electric system, has to be wired straight into its own socket, and, you've guessed it, my electrician can't come til next week!!

And the final straw, my dishwasher won't turn off...I suppose it would go for a month if I let it, so, here we go again, no-one can come out 'til next week.

DH says 'its the way I use things' AARRGGHH. IS there a right and wrong way to use things ??? All I do is press a button, so maybe I press it 'wrongly'!!! LOL.

I am going to be busy next week I won't get anything done, all I hope is that I get some nice fit tradesmen to oogle.... he he he.
