I read a book once in which they recorded a name for the year based on what the great event of the year was. I'm already thinking that for us 2010 will forever be known as The Year Things Broke.
So far, my car exhaust has fallen off, the tumble dryer has stopped working, C has been told he needs a Cornea Transplant and now the television keeps putting itself on standby. It's starting to feel like the world around us is shutting down.
If we were the paranoid types we might be worrying why we are being made to suffer but we know that most of our stuff is old and long overdue for replacement. I quite glad it all seems to be happening together. I'd rather get it all out the way quickly like ripping off a plaster. I have been looking around wondering what's going to be next, though. What's best, replacing things early so you're not inconvenienced by being without them or waiting until you have squeezed every last second of use out of it?
Needless to say, the Bank balance is also broke at the moment.
