Grrr rubbish end to the new year

Went and done some food shopping today,came back to find my fridge freezer had died So i had to make a mad rush to curry's and found a fridge freezer on offer,i had to spend all the money i had saved up as well and because its new years day tomorrow i couldn't have next day delivery so i have to wait until Wednesday
Why couldn't it have waited until after the holidays

No Lisa these things never pick the right time to break down do they

insurance claim ??

Aww poo! Give it a bloody good kick with some steel toes!

Depends on your excess and claims history but it's ruined goods isn't it and you have a receipt for all the stuff you just bought , I would just be honest due to timings of your new purchase and the food bill to not try and kid them you had it all in the freezer at the time. We had one a few years ago when the lad unplugged the freezer instead of the microwave when we were going away

doubt you could claim anything at all as most policies wont cough up unless you dropped it down the stairs. The freezer contents may be covered though if you had to throw anything away

Ill see what my oh says.None of my stuff is actually ruined as the freezer stays cold for 13 hours after being turned off and im taking a load of stuff to my nans for now till the new one turns up wednesday. Im just glad i got the new one on offer.It was £450,i got it for £250 so its a nice saving,just a pain in the * having to spend my savings on it

Sorry that's what I meant , the freezer contents not the freezer

Well at least it happened today so you can start the year afresh, sorry I doubt that makes you feel any better. All I can say is I know the feeling my love, lets hope next year starts better than it ended XxxXxX

>< ... timing sucks! but then it always does with things like this

Ours must have gone the minuite we walked out the door for a two week summer holiday the one year ...... it was weird, we got to the front door weiry after a long drive, looked at each other, and said "can you smell something?" .... .... key in the door, walked in, and all I'll say is a few flies shot past us

Bad times. Hope you still have cold beers for tonight

Aggh! That's awful!

Well it arrived today and I'm quite pleased with it,good old currys even took away the old one and the packaging from the new one away for free,so I didn't have to worry about trying to get rid of everything

Yay, happy freezer filling

I had to pay £20 for them to take the washing machine away, battering your eyes where you

Wow, that is not a great start, but a new freezer is always nice. I don't think I could live with just one anymore though. I use two full frig/freezer combos in our kitchen and one large chest freezer in the Garage! Just filled the freezer out in the garage with 200 lbs of chicken for the doggies and would be steamed if it went out! Don't know who could take that load in a pinch!

Electrical suppliers are legally bound to take away your old appliance for free. Just mention the WEEE directive and they will take it away:

Janey, sorry but you were robbed.

My DH said they probably do it to reduce the risk of people dumping random appliances everywhere.I thought they offered it because of my dazzling smile

I'm sure your dazzling smile would work just as well Lisa
