Title: Unbelievable
Post by: markpowell on July 29, 2011, 08:51:33 pm: What a day, im sure it can never happen again, ever.
Fill machine up, switch on, pump not working.
empty machine with jug take outside and replace pump.
Re-fill machine clean half a room, vac motor packs in.
Finish job on one vac.
Cancel next 2 jobs, loose £150 notes, arrive home, wife ill, ring docs then she gets admitted into hospital with a viral infection.
Go out to car after visiting and got a flat tyre.
I dare not go for a P**S, honestly.

Mark that is nothing but GOOD luck, your guardian angel is looking out for you and your wife.

Had your machine not broken down you would have gone off and done your jobs your wife may have progressively got worse, as it is you were able to be around to get her to hospital, as for the flat tyre had you not got one and left the hospital earlier then maybe a disaster awaited you around the next bend,the flat delayed you to avoid any pit falls you may have happened upon.
