frostfox | Everything is falling to bits!

Last week the car cost me £360 for a service, mot, two new tyres and work on the suspension (I thought it was a bit springy).
Friday the TV exploded, well, went bang - it was 15 years old.
Sunday I opened the washing machine door and it came off in my hand! Washing machine was even older than the TV - when I buy something, I keep it.

So I've ordered a new washing machine and went and bought a new TV.
I got a bigger TV than I thought I could (28' - they don't make 24' screens anymore) by getting a 'managers special' ie. one with a fault - the fault in this case is that the programmes are in strange places (Channel 4 is on channel 7) and you can't re-set them to where they should be. Not really an issue, they all run consecutively, just not in the order you'd expect. I can live with it and it's a better tv than I could otherwise have afforded.

So the credit card is in shock but it's only money.

And I never heard back from the job agency about the interview last week.
Not that I'm chasing them, it really was too far away, all down winding country roads, v. picturesque in summer, bit of a bugger in winter. I really rather find something closer to home. But they might have let me know. Sods.
