They say it happens in 3s...

Well it certainly has, if it has stopped that is:

1. last weekend i had a leak under my bath £51.00 to get it fixed and had no water for one day and night. Luckily i caught it in time, so not much water damage.
2. yesterday, jumped into my car to go to work and saw a crack in my windscreen £75.00 to get that fixed (and not sure i'm happy with it either)
3. today i have just found a crack in my woodburning stove glass - which is 3 years old and toughened glass, i haven't used it since March - just can't understand this one.

I soooo hope that is the big 3 for this year! :gaagh: When it happens it is quite scary! I'm starting to feel rather spooked.

Nothing happens for years and then all of a sudden, it all happens at once. Here's me trying to live frugally and save some money, i wonder if i hadn't been trying to save whether any of these things would've happened at all. Oh Happy Days! Anybody got any similar stories?

 

Hi Pixie, you might like to take a look at the thread I put on-on the 26th May, a similar subject to yours.

Believe me, just as you think you're going on quite happily, these things come along (in threes) and take the wind out of your sails!

 

Four weeks ago the kettle started to leak.
Two weeks ago the washing machine died.
Today the fridge expired. (just after we'd done a major restock of food yesterday!)

Dishwasher or freezer next??

 

Now you're tempting fate Dave.

 

lol! I must've missed that at the time, I feel better already, at least it is not just me going completely mad or thinking some mad weird thing is going on. I might have to think about the 3 pins idea!

Did the 3rd bit of back luck eventually come along or were you lucky enough to miss it this time round?

 

Oh no Dave! Nightmare. Poor you, but at least i can literally say, i know how you feel!

 

Shhhhh......Pixie, I think it's forgotten! Got my head round my new microwave today, I hate getting used to new machinery.

 

i'll say no more lol!
