William had just had his bath ~ who gave him a chocolate bar ??? (I'm not guilty :o)

Lucky on his favourite persons knee my Nephew Tim (couple of pictures from last year)

You know how they say things happen in threes ~ well that is certainly what has happened in this household

No 1 The washing machine packed up

No 2 The Cooker packed up

No 3 Now what was Number 3 ~ Oh Yes I remember it was the moniter on Lyn's computer just cracked for no apparent reason ~

The washing machine was sorted easily the chappie who does the repairs suggested the filter was clogged up ~ and this proved to be the case ~ there was quite a bit of small change retrieved 5p's 20p's and pennies ~

Lyn's Moniter was replaced at a cost of £80 ~ so all is well with that now

But the Cooker needed replacement ~ so we ordered a new one ~

they came and fitted it and all seemed well

That is until we cooked on it ~ there were several of us sitting around the Kitchen table ~ when all of a sudden the back burner caught fire ~

luckily we were able to put the flames out ~

contacted the shop where we purchased it ~ this is a shop we use frequently ~ and the manager was horrified that this had happened ~

He contacted us today saying he had contacted the manufacturers ~ they are going to test all of the stock they have in this model to make sure it is not just a one off fault ~ and he will be here Friday to fit another one ~

We have the caravan in the garden so looks like we will be cooking in there for the next couple of days ~

Hope that is the end of these mishaps ~ Isn't it amazing how these things always seem to happen in three's ~
