Murphy's Law

We had a fire drill during the night last night, you know the one the smoke alarm beeps to let you know that the batteries are going?! So it was beep, beep, beeping, you jump out of bed, knocking the bedside table over trying to switch the alarm off, then off course thinking, bloody hell there is a fire! So what is the first thing you should do? Yes proceed with caution, smell for smoke, check the door handles are not hot before opening them, no not me.

First thing I do is run downstairs, burst through the lounge door and check Mr Milo is OK! He looks up at me as if to say 'Do you not know what time it is, I was having such a lovely dream you stupid woman, you have frightened me half to death!'

So then you realise, after of course going back upstairs to make sure Himself is still asleep!!!!! that it is the sodding batteries dying! What I want to know is why do they only dye in the middle of the bloody night eh! That's Murphy's Law!

So here are a few Murphy's Laws for you-

• the other line always moves faster.
• anything good in life is wither illegal, immoral or fattening.
• in order to get a loan you must first prove you don't need it.
• anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought.
• the repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours before.
• beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes to the bone.
• the chance of a piece of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
• the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train.
• no matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you bought it, it will be on sale somewhere else cheaper.
• if everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on.

Sure you have all got your own to add, but remember Murphy was an optimist!!!!!

Wishing you all a safe and happy weekend.
