this weekend i think I've blown some powerpoints in the house, a free standing light went poof!!
wonder if the weather has any thing to do with it
whats gonna happen next weekend??
hopefully nothing..
even tho they say things usually happen in 3's
I have a friend of ours who's a qualified sparky so will
ring him in the morning..too late now, will go to bed,
sometimes i just dont know ..

milo, with the free standing light going poof, are you sure its not just the bulb. I had one for years and always found the bulbs went farily quickly.

Milo, we hit no 3 last week. First my deep freezer died, then the microwave and last week the washing machine. All had to be repaced. It has been a very expensive few weeks!

Ouch Glenda. That's real bad luck. Milo, how many times do you have to be told not to put a wet finger into the light socket. LOL You may need to look at bulbs and connections. Age can cause problems such as faulty wiring and connections.

Oh dear. What have I started? Mind you, I can relate unfortunately. I have a 35 year old brain inside this 62 year old head. Not fair!

This 3s thing gets serious when you see a snake one day , have a close encounter with another one the next day , and spend the next few days wondering when the hell you are going to clash with the third one .

Should be set with those three for a little while now Glenda, but they do only make things nowadays to last just past the warranty period. Oh for the "good old days" when it wasn't a throw away society and you could expect an appliance to serve you faithfully for a few years.
Cheers!

It sure is 'real' for us, we had three friends pass away in a week, the week before we headed off - felt like we wanted to 'run away'!

Is that the Fuse Box thingy on your house, where the fuse thingies live? And where you're most likely to find a blown fuse thingy? if it is, then you need to find out which thingy blew the fuse thingy... or it will do it again once the fuse is replaced.

it was an old fuse in the fuse box thing on the house, so he's replaced the whole fuse with a new one.. so all good, he checked all the power points in the house, we think the light stand which i had for years had worn out and caused the problem,
and i also asked him if he could put in an a tv areal in the bedroom so i can watch' tv in bed which will also be great.. lets hope this week is an event free weekend!!
