Default what broke for you over Xmas ! for me it was ........

my fookin washing machine !! every xmas something i own breaks down . weather it be the car or something else like the tv . and this year was no exception . christmas eve morning put my washing on went out and came back 4 hours later to find the thing still full of water but the programme had finished lol nice . run a local fixer and he came round yesturday morning and had to fit another motor to it . i only had one fitted my him 2 and a half years ago but he spotted the prob straight away , went ad got another motor and then i give him £120 cash all done !!

then i had my pads done last week to be told i need 2 new front disks and also 2 new lower arms on the vr6 ! nice . i better get my arse back to work ad start earning some pennies !!!!!!!

Our shower decided to give in and piss water all through the ceiling, in the main fuse box (in the hallway) and all down the walls.

dad managed to smash his car up the friday before xmas

All fun and games.
