You know Christmas is on its way when...

The tiny plastic pin holding your fridge door snaps as you gently open it and the whole main door falls off, whilst the top heavy top freezer door (also attached by same said plastic pin) then drops down and tries to break your arm as you're trying to hold the main door from spilling all its glass jars and milk. My arm just above the elbow is now very sore and bruised.

Lucky Mum was still at the table nearby when I yelled for help. The she yelled to Dad who did the very helpful thing of not turning up at all. Apparently when you yell, he takes that as a sign to keep on ignoring you, because yelling is not a signal for serious help. Useless twat.

Both doors are now taped to the fridge with gaffer tape until tomorrow. Not looking forward to trying to fix breakfast. We'll have to take off the top freezer door first, then the main door, just to get anything out, and then stick it all back together again. Lucky we haven't bought our food for Christmas yet as we often stockpile early.

And someone is going to have to go out and buy a new fridge - tomorrow. There's everybody's one Christmas present for this year.

Fuck you, karma.
