Electricity Blues

The reason for me not keeping upto date with my blog, is the unfortunate events that have affected us at the moment. It all started about a month ago when we started to experience problems with our electricity, the switches for the sockets kept on tripping. We thought it was the new power supply that my partner had bought for his new computer, we thought it might be too powerful, so we took it back to Bolton at Scan computers as the power issue effected the motherboard, but Scan didn't find a problem, we came back home and everything worked ok. But it was still tripping when we boiled the kettle, we then went out to buy a new kettle, but that didn't work either still tripping. It was then time to speak to an elecrician he came over and checked all the sockets and moved the kitching socets on to the main board not the RCD side, which worked.

A week later it starts tripping again and this time it was tripping when only the phone was plugged in and at times when nothing was plugged in or switched on. so again another phone call and visit from the sparky, fortunatly he sent someone else who knew what he was doing, so the problem was the RCD trip it was tripping at 12mA rather than 30. So the sparky is coming back on Monday to fit the new RCD trip, thankfully he gave us power over the weekend so my partner didn't miss Eurovision.
