Sometimes things just don't go the way we plan them; no matter how much effort we put into it things just go wrong and we go into a spin and then just have to learn to deal with them.
I've had one of those weeks, almost two weeks I should probably say. One moment everything is great and the next not so great and the things that went wrong for me were quite costly which never makes me happy. I'm usually prepared for unexpected costs but I like getting ahead and when something big comes up and takes me by surprise I get annoyed as it puts me back to square one.
That's a load of my clothes going around in my washing machine, my new washing machine, because the old one blew up in a spectacular explosion that levelled every building within a one thousand yard radius.
Ok, so that's a slight embellishment; I noticed a burning smell coming from the laundry and found smoke coming out of my old washing machine which isn't supposed to happen at all. After an initial panic I had it unplugged and eventually the smoke stopped. I was at first annoyed but then remembered how long I'd had the washing machine and decided I'd actually received good value for money from it. Time to get a new one.
The brand new one, an Italian made washing machine, was delivered and installed this weekend.
I don't often get excited about doing the laundry but this machine is so quiet, amazingly efficient and has some very nice cycles that will save time for me so I'll admit to being a little excited; that is, once I had the laundry door back on the hinges because it had to be removed to get the old machine out.
I guess what goes around comes around and not just my clothes going around in my new washing machine either. Life is good and bad and it sometimes sits sometimes in the middle. What is the most important thing is to turn it to our advantage as much as possible.
Ah, Becca, you reminded me of when mine went up in smoke. I almost had to call the fire brigade. Hahaha... luckily mine was fixed. I was really upset because I was saving up for my bike and the money ran out, but I took a breath and when I opened the laptop there was an ad for a new bike, the price of which didn't exceed the money I had left. I was happy. Oh, that Leona Lewis song, Bleeding Love.... mmmm, I love it.
It's never good when that happens but we have to make the right decisions, the good thing is you were able to get your bike and I'm sure it has brought you much happiness and enjoyment.
Also, it's an older song but one I like a lot, I'm glad you do also.

Becca! 😀
Bike... as well as making me happy, it has solved a major transport problem for me. You can't imagine how much money we spend here on transport to get to our destination in relative comfort. I'll tell you a secret, I hate the buses (which are cheap) and the people on top of me, sweaty, rude, and .... You can imagine everything that happens in a bus full of people, standing, with hardly any room to move. They also take a long time to get through and you can waste a lot of your time waiting at a bus stop.
I understand, I don't like public transport either and luckily don't have to use it at home. I've used it in other places around the world and it's been ok but is far from my favorite mode of transport.
😃 I wouldn't want to go on a train in India either.
Oh yes, certainly not there.
I've found several places that have been quite ok although at busy times of the day there's so many people jammed in and that's not nice at all. I like my own space.

When these things happen, one is destabilised.... but there is no choice. I rent a flat and although the owner is responsible for paying for these things.... I take care of finding the best price and the best way to pay.
I have already replaced the fridge, microwave, water heater and washing machine. Everything is brand new! It's an old flat, I knew it could happen.
I love that song! It's beautiful,
Hugs becca!💗
You're lucky to have someone to pay for items like this for you. That seems like a very good deal although, if it's a rented flat you're paying rent which covers it all I presume.

Absolutely right... at some point I will have my own house again. Have a great Monday Becca. 💗
