Broken Chain(s)

OK, so it seems my short lived ability to maintain my own bike has come to an end. Yesterday I got about 10m away from my work when the chain snapped due to my poor maintenance at the weekend. No problem though, after walking half way home and getting Rosie to pick me up, I set about fitting the new chain that had arrived in the post.

Managed to bend one of the links trying to fit that. Then this morning, it broke on the way to work. To make matters worse, the back brakes keep getting jammed as well, so this time, I'm taking it to a bike shop to get properly repaired by someone who knows what they are doing.
