New Tyres, Fridge Troubles and a Power Cut!!

Last week we decided it really was time to spend the money on 4 new tyres for hubby's land rover, there has been a horrible rumbling coming from the back wheel for quite a while and we thought that the bearing must be getting worn, ugh!! But low and behold changing the tyres at great cost has fixed the rumbling and the car is driving as smooth as ever... ahhh... a nice sigh of relief!

Just got over that cost and then we went away again for a freebie weekend with the caravan and the blasted fridge wouldn't light!!  not really what you need when the temperature is soaring towards the 30*s.  Luckily we always carry some ice packs and we did manage to juggle things round to keep food cool.  Hubby kept on trying the fridge and on the odd occasion it did light but promptly went out again.  We have had this trouble before so presumed it was the same fault and needed a new thermo couple.  Having removed the fridge and fitted a new one tonight, he found it hasn't made a scrap of difference... dam!  After tea hubby put everything back together and fixed the fridge back into the caravan and hey presto the bloody thing lit!! we will keep trying it tomorrow and see what happens. We really need it to be reliable for our next 2 week trip as there is no electric hook up to fall back on.

After all the torrential rain, thunder and lightening we had yesterday, the power went off just before tea time, we had no internet at all during the afternoon and then not being able to cook the tea as the cooker is all electric, things were a bit tense.  The only solution was to get the gas bottles connected up to the caravan and go and cook tea in there, it was only spag bol and the sauce was already cooked and frozen so it was an easy meal to do. Grandaughter, Willow has been staying with us and she thought it amusing to be having tea in the caravan on our drive :-) The power came back on about 8pm.. thank goodness!

It's been quite an eventful week, on the up side hubby had his stitches out on Monday morning and his head is healing nicely, he looks much better now he's had a hair cut.. mind you so do I :-)
