The madness of domestic appliances

How many other people have domestic appliances as loopy as the ones we have? We have a fridge which rattles (it never did this before it was defrosted) and a hoover whose wheels drop off.

We never have any luck with hoovers - we have returned several to the shop in the past few years. The first was was going great until it started glowing. We replaced this with another, which went great until the wheel dropped off. So then we got another, a so-called upright, except that it doesn't stay upright it collapses and yes, you guessed it, the wheels drop off! Now we have to kick the wheels back into position all the time, it picks up OK but the wheels are maddening! We are on the lookout for another one but we don't know which type to get, I say I just want one which works!

And to cap it all the computer is playing up! The DVD-ROM drive and the CD-RW drive won't recognise disks, even though they open and close OK, once that disk is in they are unresponsive so it is going to be repaired next week.

Oh to have normal stuff!
