    In the Past two weeks the problems at home have been hellish .
    (1) The washing machine flooded the kitchen.
    (2) The Electric Kettle Packed In.
    (3) The Electric Toaster Packed In.
    (4) The Hoover Cable not locking on the rewind spindle.
    (5) The Printer lost It's connection to the Internet.
    (6 ) The Computer Crashed.
    (7) The T/V Surround system not functioning.
    (8) Last but not the least, The Toilet Seat Sheared off , causing the Wife to Abdicate from the Throne, clutching the side of the bath. :help:.

    I just wish I had My camera Handy for that shot for 'You've Been Framed:):).

      :huh: Blimey music, there can't be much left to go wrong in your house now. Too many gadgets, that's the trouble with life nowadays. :old:

        I had something like that just before Christmas. Everything decided to break or go wrong. I had to replace a whole load of stuff and even two of the dogs had to go to the vet! The dogs are fine now but when even your dogs go wrong the mind begins to boggle. :rolleyespink: :th scifD36:

            On the bright side, there's not much left that can go wrong, Music and Lea. :)

                    If its any consolation @music, I have had a similar run - main desktop PC/file server died, best part of 900 quid to replace.

                    Then the vacuum cleaner went - screwdrivers out, repaired, but very much on borrowed time

                    Toastie maker (very 80's I know, but we like a toastie) - lid clamp busted and plates K-nackered, replaced with a lovely new Waring one

                    Toaster - decided to have three settings: black, black and burnt - replaced with a nice new Waring one

                    Clutch release bearing on the car is sticking in cold damp weather (and the cost of that fix scares me witless, so I just warm up before driving....)

                    The outside PIR light has blown it's rather expensive LED bulb, AGAIN

                    And lastly the shed still leaks when it rains

                      If it's any consolation, Daughter #1 shut the lead of the toastie maker in the toastie bit, exploded the main fuse board and cost me £275 for a new one :doh:

                          I can deal with most appliances failing but not the kettle! The last time the kettle failed I got the spare out and that failed half way through the first boil :gaah:

                            That's the problem with all these new-fangled gizmos! :heehee:

                            I've been using this superb Taste-T-Toast for 63 years. It still works perfectly and produces better toasties than these modern things. :blue thumb:

                            It's cast iron, can be used on any cooker, campfire, BBQ, even in the ashes of a bonfire, wipes clean and gives a much tastier toastie.

                            And it's Made In England! :dbgrtmb:
