So if you know me and know my story you will know that I have a strange effect on anything to do with electric. I touch it and it well...STOPS working! Items around my home I do think pick up a certain amount of immunity to me but they still don't last as long as they should. I have a large box of light bulbs as they blow A LOT. Particularly the lamp next to me in the living room and my bedside lamp, most of the other lights I get other people to turn on and off. I have a computer, laptop, ipad and phone so I can get one or another to work. We have a cooker and a mini oven for when the cooker stops working. But my forte is outside in the real world.I'm banned from a lot of gas stations in my area as I don't only stop my pump from working but ALL of them. I'm not ever going to use self service as I have never ever managed to finish on one of those tills! My pièce de résistance was the new check in machines at Heathrow Airport. They cost millions and it was there first day. The guy said I had to use them to book in, I tried to explain but he just gave me that 'are you nuts' look. So he told me what buttons to press annnnd....I broke! All of them went down! I gave him my 'I told you so' look and he directed me to a check in counter maned by a very amused human! So this year I've not been out and life in the outside world of electricals has had a nice rest. Mum wanted to get some cash out and I needed to fill up the car with petrol (after seven months of driving back and forth to parents and odd vet trip) so we ventured out, I was so pleased with myself that I did not kill the gas pump, mum wanted help with the cash machine....and I killed it! Mum did get her money out before it died so that was something, we returned to the car like a couple of giggling school girls! I still have it!
