8/12 yesterday for me. Today’s fate hangs in the balance - depends whether DH manages to pick up a secondhand TV on his way home from work to replace the one DS just broke (with a spoon no less). That now makes a total of four TVs broken in 3 years by DD3 and DS. After a particularly awkward conversation over our home insurance following the second broken one, we at least learnt to replace with secondhand items. Still, getting beyond a joke now
.
Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
