Well, today I think I'm beginning to lose it! The alarm woke me up as usual but when I put my hand out and pushed the switch for the radio, it didn't work. Still only being half awake, I came down to make a cup of tea and thought I would try again when I got back upstairs.
Luckily, I have an ordinary radio in the bathroom which I got and put it in the bedroom so that I could listen to the news. Then I had another go at trying to get the clock radio to work but again I didn't have any success even after trying all the buttons and switches.
There was nothing else for it, I would have to get another one when I went into the centre to get some shopping. So that's exactly what I did. When I go home I set the new one up in the kitchen and then took it upstairs.
When I picked the other one up, it slipped in my hand so I had to put the other hand out to catch it and in doing so, the wretched thing started to work because while catching it, I had knocked the on/off switch!
Normally, I never even touch this switch because I leave the unit switched on all the time and use the various buttons to turn the radio on and off and to set the alarm. Perhaps I knocked the switch off inadvertently when I stuck my hand out to stop the alarm, but I have never done this since I bought it about nine years ago. Never mind! I now have a spare clock radio if anything goes wrong with this one!!!
