OMG you haven't broken a mirror recently or walked under a ladder?
That is very bad luck, the problem is,apart from the video camera the other items are essential:(:(
Good grief Julie! they say things like that happen in three's, but you are over that limit. Maybe if it continues an electrician should check things over. Chloe

I know but we have had that done already and the video cam packed up when hubby was in London, we are starting to wonder if the house is haunted because several bulbs have gone to and they are Hallogens and also quiet expensive[msnsad]
Julie, I though my wife wa bad will electrical stuff (broke hairdryer and table lamp in the last week) but really have excelled yourself[msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnwink]

Our light bulbs tend to go all at the same time but just put it down to the fact that when we moved into our house the previous owners had take all the bulbs with them and we had to replace the lot! So as the all went in new at the same time, they all go at the same time. Surley cant be spooks can it? [msnwink]

I think our garage is haunted. One day last week I got into my car and realised all four electric windows were fully down (Never done it before - and have been ok since!!) I took the car out and closed and locked the garage door. When I came back the up and over door was up about a foot off the ground.!! [msneek][msnscared]

This all sounds a bit spooky. Our tree lights went last night. Funny though because instead of 'blowing' they just went really dull for an hour then slowly slipped away.
Hope you've got good insurance Julie.
