Oh dear, there are times I wish my DH had gotten into a building trade instead of the automotive industry...........
Our cooktop large element had been going for a while so when it finally "went" DH took it out to be replaced. After running around town being told "sorry love we dont stock those, you'll need to see XYZ who will order it in for you and it'll take 1 week or 2 months and cost $$$$$.
I found a supplier who had one in stock for a good price. Anyway DH put it in and BANG blew a fuse. After not realising what he had done announced to me that we needed a new stove:rolleyes:
Anyway went to buy a new fuse only to be told "sorry love we don't stock those no-one has in a year! You'll need to get a new fuse box!!!!!!!"
WTF, is this some conspiracy with sparkies to get us all to part with our hard earned $?
grrr DH and I have been working so hard lately, it just seems like every week there is some random emergency or expense that just eats at our cash flow, it's getting seriously depressing:crying:
thanks for listening to my rant......
