First the drain leading from our kitchen sink and dishwasher blocked last week.

I get an 8 metre flexible drain unblocker to stick down it but no use.
Call my Home emergency service on my CreditCard Wednesday,

'We'll have someone with you tomorrow morning before 1pm sir'

Wife waits in, don't show.

'We'll have someone with you this evening sir, before 10pm'

9.30pm get a call saying they aren't coming will be round at 3.30pm Saturday afternoon.

At work saturday morning, wife rings while I'm on way home.

'How far away are you?'

'Why?'

'The cat's just puked on the surround sound system, it was smoking and then blew up and has tripped the fuse box.'

My wife is 8 and half months pregnant so she can't get in to the fuse box.

Get home to find my £500 Denon surround system ****ed because of my bloody cat!!

Saturday afternoon and the drain people don't show, I phone them and go mental to this snotty little bitch who keeps threatening to end the call as I'm being abusive!

She tells me someone will be here by 11pm....11pm on a saturday night!!!!

I lose it, she hangs up.

Finally some guy shows at 8.30pm to tell me he can't do the job, it needs to be cleared from the street man hole which another company needs to do.

I don't even rise to the bait.

Sunday morning and they come and clear the drain. Takes 20 minutes.

And finally, start the dishwasher to then have water piss all over the floor in the kitchen as the waste pipe has disconnected. I have to lift out the dishwasher and move a kitchen cabinet to reconnect it and dry it all out with a hairdryer. Takes 1 and half hours, to then be told by the missus the fridge isn't working!

We've got a big Samsung American style fridge freezer. For some reason when the power tripped it's done someting to it and we now have a fridge and freezer full of food which is de-frosting.
Will have to fork out 600 notes for a new one.

****ING MARVELOUS
 
Well my advice is to spend some money on vintage to cheer you up.

Seriously bad news on the speakers though mate. I would be gutted if i had mine blow up and i think the RSPCA would be after me for cat murder!"!!!!

The cat puked into the vent on top so I'm hoping I can take it into to get fixed
as the speakers are all built into the wall.
 
Bloody hell Stu,what a week you've had! :(

How long have you had your fridge freezer as the Sale of Goods Act 1979 states that items are supposed to last a reasonable amount of time before they develop faults & if you haven't had it long it could be worth contacting whoever you bought the freezer from.I did this with argos last year regarding a vax carpet cleaner that became faulty just after the years manufacturer warranty had run out & i quoted the Sale of Goods Act to them & argos give me a credit note for the full amount.Could be worth a try mate! :D

Here's a link regarding the Sale of Goods Act 1979:

Hope you get things sorted mate! :D

Mark.
 
Christ Stu! :shock:

All the best I hope all goes well fixing the fridge/speakers and all the rest, you need a holiday after all that!
 
What a shitter that lot is Stu,I would ahve burst several times over with the drainage people you were dealing with.

Funny,this week I've just paid the council to take my old fridge away,been sat in the garage for best part of 2 years.
 
Cheers for the info Mark, I'll have a look at that.
I've had the fridge about 5 years I think.

You're right about a holiday Joe, but that's not gonna happen for some time as we have a new
baby just about to disrupt the Burnsy household again!!!
 
Sale of goods probably wouldnt work after 5 years, BUT if you could link all of the damages together with a nice story it may be woryj contacting your home insurance company as a claim for that stuff probably wouldnt hurt your premiums, out washer leaked and we claimed for the washer, caprpet in two rooms, skirting board and got the kitchen repainted all under one claim :)

You could even try and get the stereo in it as well, say you slipped on the water and knocked the stereo on the floor...

Lol Andy, that post sums you up to a tee!

Shitty luck Stu, at least things come in 28's.

LMFAO was thinking exactly the same thing :shock: :lol:
I would go with Andy's idea, if anybody knows their way around it, it would be him!
 
Jesus Nurnsy, that really is **** a week!
As Steve said if that was my cat it would be in deep ****. The RSPCA would be no use it would thrown in a sack and lobbed off the nearest bridge! But then I always hated cats anyway.
