I seem to have had a run of bad luck just recently – almost everything I use daily has gone wrong somehow.

SatNav – I found that the PocketPC had been away from the mains for too long and had discharged itself, wiping the memory and causing me a couple of hours work reinstalling the TomTom software. Sigh.

Hands Free – the earloop on my hands free snapped in two, so I can’t wear it anymore. I’ve tracked down another one on eBay and I’m waiting for the auction to finish. Oh, and I’ve been outbid. Gagh.

Watch – one of the pins holding the strap to the body snapped. I didn’t realise until it finally slid out and the whole thing fell off my wrist at my mum’s house. I retrieved my other watch – a ‘going out’ version of the same one but with added gold trim – and found the battery was flat. Gnngh.

Digibox – locked up time and time again over the weekend. Hnngh!

Router – has started randomly disconnecting any machine connected to it, be it wireless or not. Mind you, it has been on solid for about two years. Grrrr!

Main PC – PSU decided to quit while I was having my lunch. Enlisting Foo’s help I prodded it with a multimeter for a bit, then caved and splashed out on a new one. AAARRRGH!

What else could go wrong? (No, don’t answer that!)
