Isn't it weird how thing break down or go wrong when it is most inconvenient. Trying to make royal icing when the food mixer decides to die is a bit of a nightmare! 
Think yourself lucky synonymous that it's only your food mixer.
My washing machine flooded the utility room yesterday and DD1, SiL and 2x DGC arrive for a week on Tuesday.
I've already texted her to tell her to do her washing before she leaves home, rather than bringing it with her which is her usual modus operandi 
LOL in your case jane- perhaps it is a blessing, and the message will get through 
Yep, it's generally called sod's law, no?
Some Gners will remember my panic at Christmas two years ago when my dishwasher died with about 10 days to go before the big day. We sorted it out and had the new one fitted just in time. The 'new' one broke two weeks ago and, because it kept doing the same thing, we were offered a free replacement. Luckily it came on Thursday but I was starting to worry!! 
Why is this under Charities?
Good question kitty
I had to smile at the annoyance of a broken food processor and dish washer (I'd be cross too) when I think of my childhood a food processor was mums wrist and elbow and a dishwasher was called dad 
Indeed gj 
nina I have no idea how they managed. My mum didn't even have
a fridge till I was 10
And the shops all shut at 5 o'clock
Kitty - Goodness knows why it is under charities as I (tried?) put it under chat!
ninathenana - DH's wrist has become my food mixer.
