Sigh Jun 2021 7:06pm, 25 Jun 2021 9,627 posts	0 Sigh I keep reading all the references to "crystal sets" on the Over 50's thread as "crystal meth" (and I never even watched Breaking Bad - although I do bank with the Co-Op who had the "crystal methodist" in charge for a while )

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
