Our curse with electrical appliances seems to know no bounds!!!

On Sunday morning whilst I was reliving my youth by having a fun game of colonization when the computer just turned off for no reason. So I turn it back on, windows starts loading and then goes back on. Push the power button again and bang followed by nothing.

So my old PC has died a death which finally gave me an excuse to get a new computer. Just one problem, no money. Had it have happened a week before I could have used my redundancy pay from Arnold Clark. We very nearly entertain the scary option of Brighthouse as computer would have said no to us anywhere else.

Fortunately, my Mum volunteered to get a new PC on credit and we pay her the payments meaning we are now paying half the monthly payments that we would have been and we now have a nice shiny quad core PC :D

Well one of my new years resolutions has been broken already. As you may recall I resolved that not one single household appliance would break down this year. 23 days into the year and it’s the TV again!!

We got a nice shiny new 32″ HDTV to replace the one that broke on Christmas Eve and it’s lasted under 3 weeks. So now we’re waiting for the nice people to call us back and come and repair the damn thing because dabs have discontinued the model and so can’t replace it!

I’m starting to think we have gremlins in the flat that come out at night and wreck all the electrical equipment we have. It’s getting beyond a joke now

Well the season of goodwill is finally here and as such so is the most depressing time on the planet. Fortunately there is usually some good TV on to make it just about bearable and this year is no exception with notable highlights being Kylie in Doctor Who and everyone finding out about Max in Eastenders cheating on gorgeous wife Tanya with minging daughter in law Stacey.

So Christmas should be just about bearable right?? WRONG!

Our TV has just died and with it any hope of getting through Christmas with what is left of my sanity intact!

The only good thing is I now have an excuse to buy a hi definition TV however we’re a few hundred quid short unfortunately :’(
