Curse of the White Goods

My house is cursed.

White goods have sent us back to the middle ages of handwashing, bucket flushing

 and no phone line.

Is this a sign of my lack of desire to adapt to modern technology ?

So this month we have lost: 

• dishwasher - completely knackered
•  landline - it rings but you can't answer it
• washing machine -  a suspected new pump
• exhaust fan - almost set fire to itself - decommissioned
• toilet - flusher broken
• oven - third element in eight years

Of course this all happens as we close the business for Winter 

and a secondary income says ta-da.

Anyone have a second hand wrangle they need shifting ?
