I've had bad days before but this one is royally pushing the buttons.
1) Blazing argument with the girlfriend on Friday, she ends up slamming the bedroom door and locking. I walk into it with a bit of force (i don't like her slamming doors) not realising it had been locked and bending the lock/distorting the door frame. Tried repairing it with her for hours only to find one of the upper wooden internal supports has cracked and the whole thing is a write off. As we need a bedroom door with having a lodger we take the spare rooms door off to use in the meantime. Mount that try to shut it and its miles off. Plane it down, try again still no luck, plane it again, mount it, still no luck..check original hinges etc and find that I had mounted the door sat up on one of the hinge lips. The door would have fitted fine had I been more careful.
Too make it worse the utter halfwit who built this house used 'Metric Door' sizes which B&Q/Home Base/Wickes etc dont stock. Closest shop I can find is a Jewsons which is closed and only opens 9am -5pm. I work 8 till 5.30pm! The doors are twice the price of a standard door and I have no tools/experience on fitting them.
2) I go out to cut the grass, the lawn mower dies after 20 seconds. I check fuel, oil, blades etc still no start. I recheck fuel lines etc, all looks fine I leave it for 20mins and it starts but runs very rough and dies at the first sign of any resistance. 2 year old cheap ass Tesco lawn Mower - what did I expect?
3) Girlfriends making me breakfast whilst I am finishing off the grass tentatively with said problematic lawn mower. She comes out to say the Over has stopped working. I spent 30mins looking for manuals, serial numbers and model numbers and eventually resort to calling the oven's customer support. They inform me the Timer on it seems to have died and that to replace it would be £167 for a new years warranty which would cover this. Then there is a 1-2 week call out delay currently. Microwave meals FTW?
4) My new laptop Dell gave me due to my old one failing to pass an HDMI signal through to my TV suddenly decides to stop sending an HDMi signal as well. Laptop detects my Sony AMP and Sony TV, TV and AMP both detect the Laptop but no signal is sent between the two. tried uninstalling, rolling back system restore, different cables and still nothing. Dell replaced my old laptop over this issue with a totally different model laptop which has worked fine for the last 3 weeks until last night......
And the icing on the cake...I have friends over next fr/sat/sun for the weekend to help me celebrate my birthday. Now I am missing two bedroom door's, an oven and my grass will be almost a foot long. Oh and my laptop is ****.
HOW!!!??
