Know how you feel...
similar shit but over the month rather than the week, everything broke..
Inverter for my solar system died,draining the life out of my battery bank,no electricity apart from lights for 3 days, have to wait till weekend to get back up generator running,generator has one valve stuck open,remove rocker cover and investigate/repair.
Order new battery for solar system,pay extra for express delivery, battery does not arrive.
Car battery dies on frosty morning,new battery needed.
Seller contacts me to say courier damaged battery, new one will be with me next day

, battery arrives but is leaking acid

, brilliant response from seller,acid spillage caused by courier not understanding 'this way up' instruction on battery, phew.
Now so little sunshine solar panels can't recharge battery bank so back up generator decides it it no longer wants to create electricity,just convert fuel into noise, buy new generator expecting funds to run out very soon.
Driver's side font eleccy window on car decides it will no longer open and close, just close a bit.Spend morning investigating,cable operated mechanism fucked beyond repair,bodge by jamming window closed with bit of wood.
Run out of mobile battery as car charger has decided to fall apart, no other way of charging (see above),oversleep as no alarm and miss a days work...
New generator arrives

we have power...
Now really pushing my luck and expecting debit card to be declined every time I use it..
I case you were wondering yes I do live 'off grid' I dont do this shit for fun.
Just returned from spinal/lumbar x ray, GP referall...
Beer 'o'clock it is then

On tge plus side the car was done quicker than they said and 79 quid cheaper
I spent tge money on two new tyres so the other would survive the trip to this new contract which then got cancelled / postponed until the two weeks of the Spanish Christmas meaning I can either not work or miss Theo's first big Christmas
My chest Xray was clear
The back doors of tge house are completely stuffed and had to order new ones
I've just spent 3 hours with 30 screaming children and a magician entertainer straight from the wheel tappers and shunter club

Which was surprisingly okay

I just had a look in the car and found my MOT runs out on 21st, two days before payday.
This little bit of annoyance has cost around £700 so the car will be off the road for a bit.
Have not started the bike for a few weeks, not sure I dare go near it at the mo.
I think we bloody well deserve a beer Geoff, see you in Sam's
