The week from hell
Discussion
Right, I just hope this week is better than last week. A catalogue of disasters from start to finish...
1) Wife gets a £1,400 tax bill, because the Chartered Accountant that completed her tax return screwed up
2) I figure out that I am owed £1000 in unpaid expenses - and I am not sure if I am going to get the money!
3) Wife's car taking in water badly - at the moment could turn it into a botanical garden (in fact seems like it is!)
4) Garage door fell off, nearly crushing wifes car!
5) Daughter taken to hospital because of bad chest infection
6) Lights on wifes car fell up (yep, search lights now!)
7) Shower broke
8) ADSL modem for broadband broke
9) Got an ear infection because had to have bath instead
10) Toilet leaks (from the cistern though - thank god for small mercies)
11) Comfy shoes now split
12) Wife spilt coffee on her laptop - tried to fix it, but keyboard totally screwed
13) Worked something like 65 hours last week
14) Had to stand for 1h30m on a train because there wasnt any seats!
I could go on, but you get the gist. I just hope this week is better. Who said bad things happen in threes?
So, how good or bad was your last week?

HAd a bad sennight....... friday last delivered into the local slaughterhouse (read very poor local hospital) with a heart attack with sirens and blues... (I wouldn't trust this slaughterhouse to lance a boil!!), they stabilised me, and then said they'd be doing an op.....my better half gets rather shirty as do I, as one of the best heart clinics in western europe is only 30 minutes away, but no these bodgers want to have a go.....needless to say the added stress was very conducive to my condition!
I'd been stabilised, so had actually to get out of bed remove all wires etc before they realised that I was serious they cannot do anything to me...
Anyway all got done properly at the correct clinic, and was out after 5 days after balloon-catheter and "stent" (sorry don't know the english for this)
and now have to swallow vastly expensive medicines for a year minimum..... my bill for 5 bottles of pills was "only" 550 euros.....!!
And then Saturday night Sunday morning we had a 5.4 earthquake, which gave me a damn big fright....and that on top of a dicky ticker....well pleased, NOT!!!! especially with the huge crack down the house wall!!!
But am very glad that I'm not as bad off as some I saw in the clinic....my doc said it was a 22" shot in front of the bows..........
