How about this for bad luck - Just before Christmas the dishwasher broke down (couldn't afford to get it fixed cos of Christmas).
Just after Christmas the tumble dryer gave up the ghost (I'd had it over 10 years and it was second hand then so that's not too bad). I brought another one second hand but it broke down second use but at least I got my money back.
At the same time the exhaust fell off the car, then the indicators started to play up so I took it off the road. I lost the road tax renewal paperwork (9 weeks of workmen in the house covering EVERYTHING in dust) so got fined £60 - would have only cost £65 for 6 mths road tax.
Can't afford the repairs or road tax so it's now on sorn.
A fortnight ago the washing machine tripped out the electric so I can use it, can't afford to get a repairman in and its full of washing and water.
Then as the final straw on Tuesday my mobile phone literally fell apart!

Your not alone.
6 weeks ago our combi boiler broke dow.
then the washing mashine packed up
then the dishwasher packed up
then the bay started leaking water(4 buckets lined up to catch the drips)
the wifes car was broken into
then to cap it all.......my neighbour(who had bought a car off my son last year)lost his job and is unable to pay back the £1100 he owes us.
Maybe we should drown our sorrows together.......lol.:rotfl:0 -
LOL. Yeah maybe.
Anyone could put up with problems but having that many in a short space of time is just horrible!
I just don't see me ever getting myself sorted.0
