Everything is breaking down in my house, in the last month we have had to replace, a fridge freezer, a microwave, a toaster, a vacume cleaner, and a dvd player.

The extention we are trying to get built is being help up by the water board, as we have now been told that we have to have their permission to build over a main sewer that runs through our garden, and we need a special foundation too, so we just have a large hole in the ground and a big hole covered in plastic in the kitchen wall.

The tempary fitting I used to set up our washing machine has been slowly working its way off and we flooded the kitchen on Wednesday, ruining the floor.

Sitting on my pc chair last night I leant back and ended up on the floor when the arms holding the back snapped.

Well after everything else I have had to buy, I didnt want to spend another £80 on another chair so I decided to fix it by bolting metal plates to either side of the cracks, the pilot drill broke and I drilled through my thumb!

What a run of bad luck.
