“I don’t be-lieeeve it!”
Do you remember when, a couple of weeks ago, just when I was about to start shopping for a new washing-machine, everything in the refrigerator got warm overnight? And I didn’t know if it was broken or if Barney had left the door open? And then it got cold again and so I decided it must have been Barney?
Well. I might have been wrong.
Yesterday morning everything in the refrigerator was - not warm, but not nearly as cold as it should have been. It was pulled out and unplugged and re-plugged-in and played with and listened to carefully to try to establish whether the motor was running. Eventually I gave it a thump on its side (well, it used to work when my grandfather did it to the television…) and the motor started whirring again.
Except that a couple of hours later it wasn’t going again. And thumping it again didn’t work. And the milk went off. And this morning, the other contents are room temperature and some of them are only fit for the bin.
*Sigh*
I promise I’ll blog about something other than household appliances shortly. Honest.

In my experience, there is always something to be paid for and replaced in the house. Just as you think you might be able to splurge a bit of money on yourself something always breaks. And as soon as you pay for that something else breaks.
TBH it’s not the cost I’m bothered about. I can’t find a decent fridge that will fit in the space we’ve got - all the newer models are 60cm, and our space is 56cm. The old one is “sandstone” (the new name for “linen”, which was the new name for beige), and I can’t get one in that colour either - they’re all white or silver, both of which will look really stupid there. Bah.
