We're not superstitious but................we decided to put our property on the market with an estate agent last weekend - appointment was Saturday. On Friday, the radiator in the dining-room decided to spring a leak, so it was turned off until Alan could install a new one this weekend.  Around £100.00 Then the washing machine started to take an hour to do an express wash and when it was spinning there was a disconcerting smell of (maybe) burning electrics. Decided to get a repairman out yesterday, but when he heard the symptoms over the phone, he diagnosed the motor starting to burn out and sooooooo expensive to repair it's just not worth it. So off we went into town to buy a new washing machine! Around £300.00 We decided as we had been good and lost weight this week, we could have a glass of wine with our weight-watchers lunch, so Alan decided to nip down to Sainsburys to get a bottle. Got in his car in the drive, there was an almighty bang and the front of the car "collapsed". Luckily he has had his car less than three months and has a three month warranty on it. He rang the place where he bought it and they gave him the number of their mechanics who will hopefully collect tomorrow and provide a courtesy car! What the hell did we do wrong? Somebody up there must really hate us! Should we hope and pray this is the 3 things? Things can only get better - I hope!  By the way - we still got our vino - Alan took my car!  __________________

But on the up side Wales beat England in rugby , then Scotland and next week its Italy , so without a doubt that will be three in a row!
It seems though that you get one or two good things happen and the third is bad" well perhaps thats just my luck | | | | | 10th February 2008, 18:07 | #6 (permalink) | | Super Tenerifian Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Chayofa Gender: Posts: 509 | I think things happen in two's, however because we all like the number 3, we go looking for the third, but when you think about it realistically, three can only be devided by one number, which is number 1, so actually, all things happen individually ???? Got you all confused yet?? __________________

Got you all confused yet?? | 3 can also be divided by 3, but as the central heating boiler is now making weird noises maybe you are right and it has nothing to do with threes! __________________
