Electrical problems in threes...

I know how you feel and my heart really goes out to you. 
1) A while ago my trusty washing machine developed an unfixable fault, however I had it insured so they gave me a new one.
2) Our immersion heater timer went bust so our trusty electrician down the lane disconnected the timer but hasn't been back to put a new on in so I have to do it manually.
3) Our leccy supply keeps tripping out and, apart from swans occasionally flying into the overhead wires and the recent gales forcing rain under the roof tiles and down onto the electric cable to the bedroom, it's something that's a real pain in the bum as we can't get it fixed at the moment.
 4) I had trouble receiving and sending emails until I realised I'd done a new password and hadn't changed it in when I was logging on. I thought I'd got that sorted out as emails were too-ing and fro-ing as per usual but my PC still shoves a little window at the bottom right keeps saying my BT account is out of date. I'm all paid up so it's not that.
5) My printer started playing up as some lines are a little bit disjointed and sometimes it won't print my daily Guardian crossword ( ) so I have to switch it off then back on again.
 6) My DVD recorder suddenly decided it wasn't going to record anything as it wouldn't display any TV channels and hadn't updated the clock for summer time.  Despite trying every possible way to overcome it (re-tuning the TV, rung our man who put a new aerial up who said it's telling you it's on its way out) I ordered a new one but haven't a clue how to connect it and get it working so will have to wait until after the lock-down so my nephew-in-law can set it up. 
7) Last week I was happily on this forum when my internet connection went AWOL and my router was showing an orange light. Having checked all my leads etc, had yet another glass of wine, banged my head on my desk, had a mega hissy fit tantrum, went for a snooze and guess what! It came back on again. 
You seem to have been better behaved than me so I sincerely hope you have no more problems.

It seems that modern day electrical/ white goods are not meant to last.   But ask somebody who has had their vacuum for 25 years and they tell you it is as good as new !

It is annoying when things grind to a halt, and what is even worse, how to dispose of the old one.   The amenity tips seem to be the only way to go, which is ok and ours (when it re-opens) the guys are really helpful and always empty my car out for me.    But sometimes the said broken radiogram,  or tv and some of the stuff is too heavy for me to lift    Mrs Bouquet

Growster, get a re-chargeable Dyson and you'll never look back. My corded one became a bit heavy to use so OH told me to get a cordless one and if it didn't do the job he'd pay for it so how could I refuse? Best thing I ever did! I have the Dyson Cyclone VI 10 Total Clean and wouldn't be without it.

MB. I wish I could hold your hand and give you a big GG hug but I can't hug anyone at the moment. May I suggest you just be a naughty girl and treat yourself to something, because at this time of crisis we all need to forget diets, the occasional guilty éclair, using an expensive bubble-bath for a good night's sleep which would help you to have a much-needed rest. All I ask is for you to stop fretting because we're all here for you and always will be. Why? Because we love you to bits!

Have you thought about turning the thermostat down because your next leccy bill might just take the roof off your pension savings! MB, I'll email you a poem wot I roted that might just give you some comfort. GG xxx

Growster, I need MB's help as I emailed her via the Forum so haven't got it on paper. MB, are you there and can you email me back so Growster can read it?
