Boiler died on Good Friday but at least there is an immersion heater so we have hot water. Just hope this isn’t the first expensive disaster of three.

My fridge stopped working just before Easter these things always have a habit of non functioning at awkward times don’t they🤷‍♀️ new one arriving later this week. Don’t you find when one thing goes two or three other things stop working too… what will be next😂 I’m expecting the dishwasher as pretty old …..

It used to regularly break on say the thurs before a holiday weekend.
I am hesitating to write, that it doesnt do that any more!

Just as bad as your full washing machine stopping in the middle of a wash cycle and refusing to restart.
What a mess that was.

DD2 and co, our visitors, are here until Wednesday so lots of washing up will need doing. Obviously, they will muck in but it is very discombobulating nevertheless.

My automatic pasta maker broke down Easter Sat when we had guests. I was doing a lovely tomato flavoured one. Perfect until then. Sod’s Law. Of course I hadn’t got any shop bought stuff in.

Same reason as the photocopier always used to break down at 5pm on a Friday night when you had 50 pages of an urgent report to copy and all your colleagues were off to the pub.

Get the guests to help as a thank you for a wonderful lunch.

I'm the dishwasher. If I break down then DH is the dishwater. If both of us bread down then the dishes pile up in the sink.

More hands to muck in and clear up, but it’s damned annoying.

Oh no! Sympathy.

does the dishwasher break when you have a houseful of people to whom you have just served a large lunch involving lots of pans and dishes.
