Slipping Through Our Fingers.....

Happy Monday folks.

(Can you tell I am trying to convince myself that it really is one?!)

Yes another week is here and what a busy and expensive one it has started as.

Here in our house (which should be known as faulty towers at the moment) every thing is starting to die a death. (Thankfully that doesn't include any of the occupants, phew)

At the moment money feels to be slipping through our fingers at an alarming rate!

As you know our sofa broke and DFS came out to visit us.

The first thing they told us was that it needed to go back to the warehouse to be fixed and would be missing for there days.

The second thing they told us when I called (after not hearing a peep from them for two weeks) was they "do no such thing" and that they will need to come out (in a pair I might add) to see it again.

So Friday they arrived to inspect the sofa once more.

And the out come was......

A fixed sofa, almost as good as new!

So what else has broken?

Would you believe the front door?

I mean it's not exactly something you can do without really is it?

So first thing this morning we have had a man come to quote for a new front door, back door and garage window.

(much cheaper to get them done together and they are all in desperate need of replacing)

Then lastly is the good old boiler.

In one word its buggered! (sorry)

So it looks like a new one  is to be installed in the next week or so.

So money is well and truly slipping through our fingers like water.

Thankfully we had a good slush fund to pay for it all.

I am now praying that nothing else breaks.
