Help Many software issues have come up (Friend Stream, Market Place)

Hi, I've had next to no issues with my phone since getting it in May.
It's got O2 Branded 2.1 OS on it

Recently, I've started getting all sorts of random software issues.

the first is friendstream - this stopped working a few days ago. It just says 'No Recent Updates' and when I click on it to open the app, it Force Closes.

Now, also, the market place seems to have stopped working.

I can access the store itself, but as soon as I go to the downloads section, I get the message 'A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen'. Hitting 'Retry' gives the same message, Cancel takes me back to main market place screen.

I've restarted the phone, which hasn't helped.
I de-linked by facebook account & re-linked it - hasn't helped.
I'm not running a task killer
I've not installed anything new for a while - the odd app update here & there but not a lot.

Any ideas - are these related do you think?
