This week my Word of the Week is: Break! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

I should rename these blog posts to this week my break of the week is... lol I am so done with things breaking, they say these things come in three's but we're well past that now. Over the past few weeks the kettle broke but was fixable but only after I bought a new one which is still sat in it's box ready for the next time it breaks, my mobile phone broke and I got a new one, the house phone broke and we haven't bothered to replace it as we don't use it and we've had a couple more breakages this week. Ugh!

On Monday evening our shower broke, well not the shower. The pull cord which switches it on, it snapped off. You would think it would be an easy fix, just tie the cord back up but no. Stu had a look and it snapped from inside the box. To fix it meant taking the box to bits and taking some of the wires out and Stu knows better than to mess with electrics. We had a workman out and it was all fixed within half an hour, he just replaced the bottom of the box and we got a new cord. 

The next break was the SD card in our security camera. I blame the electric being switched off and on from the fuse box thing while the shower cord was being fixed. Every time we have a power cut our camera plays up and I have been told it's from the power surge when the electricity comes back on. The card wasn't saving any recordings and when we tried to format it, it wasn't having it and we couldn't delete anything off it. Anyway, I ordered a couple of new SD cards off Amazon and thanks to Becky having a Prime account they arrived the next day so the camera is back up and running. After things that happened last year I can't imagine not having the security of a camera now.

Not all breaks are bad though, I had a lovely break from the housework on Sunday with it being Mother's Day. My family took over the chores. Over past years they would do the bare minimum and I would be left playing catch up on the Monday but not this year. I have learned from previous years and made sure they did the jobs properly and plenty of them. hehehe

Ellie has started her Easter break from college and she thinks she has a lot of plans. She is off for almost 3 weeks so has plenty of time to have some fun. Have you seen that meme it goes something like I love how teenagers are planning stuff. No money, no ride, no permission, no nothing. Just planning. She is like that. She has ideas of things to do but she's going to have to earn some money before anything happens. She has her college bus pass which she can use to get into town and back but anything after that she's going to have to do some jobs around the house to earn some pennies. There's things she wants to see at the cinema, she wants to go to the trampoline park, the arcade place and goodness knows where else.

How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
