Luck comes in threes?

Sorry for the extended pause in the blog but there have been extenuating circumstances. Our life has taken a left turn with the aim of supporting the theory that luck always comes in threes. I just hope it is done for now! In short:

1. George took our car to a garage for its annual MOT (inspection). The garage proceeded to intentionally damage our car in order to STEAL OUR MONEY.

2. I used my debit card at an ATM and the card was retained by the machine. It turned out to be a "false front" scheme where thieves put an artificial front on the machine to steal your card. The thief then proceeded to STEAL ALL OUR MONEY.

3. ...Well, we're just waiting for it now... :)

So now we are involved in a criminal lawsuit against Kwikfit (who apparently do this all the time but were only dumb enough to leave conclusive evidence in our car) and are embroiled in paperwork and negotiations with Barclay's to get all our money/fees/reputation back. No fun. Oh yeah, and I started a new job, did I mention? Hmmm, too tired now, more later!
