Can You Beat That

first the fridge freezer was making strange noises so called in the hotpoint people, who said can't be fixed, will give you a new one, so they did.
just a few short weeks later the electricity in one circuit died, so i had to call out the
emergency electrician at the council, who came along and pronounced that the washing machine was causing the short circuit. so next came the washing machine man who said it was the the heater caused by limescale, so that was replaced, now its working. so far so bad.
went to turn on the hob on the cooker last night and it failed to ignite, so had to go through a rigmarole of getting hotpoint engineers out tomorrow to see if it can be fixed. Had to take on extra insurance with them as well, as if the cooker can't be fixed they promised to provide me with a new cooker.
so very stressful, so apologies if i am offloading.
any stress if your life you would like to tell me about...

I had to replace my fridge, cooker (a range style one) dishwasher, washing machine and microwave all in about a year. I also ordered a food processor which doesn't work and they didn't reply to my emails and I've lost the blade to my mini blender which I've only used once.

The bit in the OP about the Hob reminded me of living in Wroxham in Norfolk the day after the Hurricane in '87, Neighbours were moving to the house next door on the other side to us, as no family could get to them to help 'cus of fallen trees etc they were carrying their bits and pieces between the houses, I walked outside to have a smoke, took my coffee with me. Mrs Neighbour saw the mug, walked over and asked 'Have you got power, our electrics off?' They had the same set-up as we had, Gas Hob, Electric Oven, they were both smokers but had not thought to do what we did and light the Hob with a Match
My how we laughed later ;o)
