Bollocks

When we had the floor refinished in the living room in the summer I had to take the stereo out along with all of the other stuff. I hadn't gotten around to re-connecting it until Sunday and to be honest I was enjoying the lack of children's songs and the wireless look of the whole set up. However, at the weekend MK finally got me to reconnect everything. It worked when I tested it although I did notice that the bottom shelf seemed a bit wobbly although I couldn't get the shelf out of the bracket to tighten it up so I simply moved the stereo up one shelf.

When I got home last night MK complained that only one of the speakers was working so I had to have another fiddle to reconnect a speaker wire that had come out of the connector. Whilst fiddling with the cable the shelf fell off the wall onto the now empty shelf below which promptly fell onto the floor.

Bugger.

Thankfully nothing landed on my bare feet because that would have really hurt, but our rather expensive cd player, amplifier and a speaker were sitting on the floor.

The damage:
The cd player no longer recognises that it has discs in it. I suspect that is terminal...
Amp - no problems
Speaker - 2 of the 4 pegs that hold the cover on have broken off, but it works fine so I may just remove the covers from both.

At least we can still play music from my ipod that has all of our cds on it, except for the kids one for now. Sort of a result...
