Aaaarrggghhh!!!!

Well they say it comes in threes :mad::mad:

Our washing machine broke down a couple of days ago and I couldn't find a replacement on Freecycle :rolleyes: so we bit the bullet and went out yesterday and bought a new one, £245 down the drain.

Last night our car broke down, drive shaft has gone completely :rolleyes:. £70+vat to tow back home :mad: I thought we had breakdown cover but it ran out on the 31st of December. They say they sent us a renenwal letter but I know we have never had one :mad:

Tonight DH was on his way back home on the motorbike and that conked out as well :eek: Goodness knows whats wrong with that.

Oh! and we have all had D&V this weekend :( and I am knackered through lack of sleep.

And middle son decided to put a nappy in the tumble dryer with all the towels and sheets :eek:. Which disintergrated and covered everything. The inside of the drum is coated and it is going to take hours to clean off and the filter is disgusting. Oh! and he bit my eldest who has a huge set of bruisey teeth marks on his cheek.

I WANT MY MUUUUUUUUUMMY!!!

    ((((HUGS)))) - poor you TF! What a way to end/start the week! Didn't the breakdown people give you a chance to renew it then and there before charging you?

    At least that was 3 - you're done now.

    Then you could be the one putting the nappy in the dryer!

    I would say that is a sign he wants potty training - pronto!

    We are potty training him at the moment with all the joys that entails :eek:. It was his night time nappy he took off. I thought he had put it in the bin like he usualy does.

    Angel that certainly did bring a huge grin to my face, thank you.

    Oh! and I am on my son's laptop (which is 10 years old and almost as slow as the bad old days, used to be mine.) as juice got spilt on mine and it has stopped working. Luckily we have accidental damage on our home insurance.
