I just couldn't make up my life. At all. Just one short day, loads of problems. Am I the only man alive who has such long runs of bad luck? Okay then, here we go

First off, the oil delivery arrived first thing this morning, which was great, because we have to give the tank a couple of hours to settle back down once an empty tank is filled, otherwise the sediment is dragged through the pipes, blocking the bolier. Fine.

I went to fire the boiler up at about 10.30 and the thing was dead. Couldn't get it to do anything. Had to call the heating engineer out.

Heating engineer has just left. He got the boiler to fire up, but it blew the fuse for the plugs on our main circuit board. Twice.

That crashed the computer, which had my spreadsheet live as I was working on it, and have been for the last 3 days, on and off, collating all the ads from my message boards. At best I've lost todays work - and I was up and on the computer at 6.30 this morning after waking up with another one of my headaches. At worst, I've lost the whole thing. I haven't checked it yet- I'm too frightened to.

I had to wait in for the postman today as my wife was expecting a package, and after he'd been, I went to Focus at Fakenham to get the rest of the ceiling tiles I need. I'm still short and have run out for the FOURTH time. I am now two days behind with the decorating.

In addition to all that, I had 5 letters from the postman, each one demanding money - I haven't opened them yet, because I know what they are, and all together, these are demands for about £2,700. The bank account is empty.

Its now 4.30 and I've still got my headache. It just won't shift. The boiler is still broken as it blows the circuit when it's switched on. So, the house is still cold. the boiler company are sending their own engineer around tomorrow.hopefully, it will be fixed then.

I've really had enough today. So peed off. I'm now at mental stalemate and I cannot, at the moment, see my way forward. After writing this, I'm turning the computer off and forgetting everything for a few hours.

My heart is racing, my head (and heart) is aching.

So, OK then, can anyone explain why I shouldn't feel such a failure?

Until tomorrow

Paul
