Eveything happens in threes!!!!

Why is embee still working when he is way past the age most people have retired. Well I think, secretly, he quite enjoys it and he knows if he was at home he would have to start working on my list of things to do!! But most importantly we still have some security that when things go wrong we do have some income besides our pensions. But why does everything have to happen in threes!! In the last three weeks....
We have had to replace an iron that had burnt out and we now have this Breville which has a ceramic soleplate and a supreme steam. Doesn't seem that much different to the old one with a stainless steel plate (probably a marketing ploy for suckers like me). I don't even do a lot of ironing so hopefully should last me out!!
A washing machine that was leaking and we got this Siemans. I am delighted with it as it has a bigger drum capacity than the old machine, the wash takes less time and it has a better spin. Now I wonder if I could take in washing!!!
The third item is a television. We have a TV in the dining room as well as the sitting room. This prevents major battles as Embee is a channel hopper and he watches a lot of sport need I say more!! The TV in the dining room lost its colour a long time ago but because Embee is colour blind it didn't bother him too much. However we knew that we would need to replace our main TV as within the next couple of years analogue is being replaced by digital. So we decided sooner rather than later and we had this 40 inch Sony Bravia installed yesterday. My eyes are still adjusting to the large screen and Embee is adjusting to colour; as I write this I can see him happily channel hopping!! Now you would think this was the end of our problems but unfortunately we now need to upgrade our TV ariel why does one thing always lead to another!!

Have a peaceful Sunday... I'm off to load the washing machine!!
