Decisions people...
My freezer is on ye blink.. will be £178 to repair... so.. do I
a. pay for it get it repaired, covered for a year.. no handle no drawer fronts etc
OR
b. buy a replacement for another £106 which matches the fridge I got a few months ago and is slightly narrower so will fit in the gap better. A new one would also have doors/drawers still attached and a handle to open it with (the old one lost its handle years ago)
Either way this is a credit card payment.. with interest!!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Morning all, spent yesterday outside in the garden so no flying done in the house.
Rhys went to doctors and has a chest infection, very relieved to know whats wrong and hopefully he should start feeling better in a few days.
Came home to find DS1 in tears because he has a sore head and ears. Phoned GP who said to see out of hours. Got an appointment for 8.30 but wasn't seen until 10.30 :eek::eek: so ends up DS1 has an ear infection in both ears and a chest infection.
I've woke this morning with a cold, knew it was coming. So today i'll catch up with the flying, wallpaper scrapping and paperwork.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

an hour's me time
Not doing too badly all things considered. Bedroom is looking fantastic so far. It will be finished next week, and the spare room may also be done by the time I'm back from my trip next week :j Rest of the house is relatively tidy and I have made lots of soup for the freezer (have to make more though to use up all the veg that won't survive my absence.
Heating is working and has been fixed permanently by OH and my cousin (probably more my cousing than OH) which is a bonus, even if it slowed down the decorating! At least I won't be here to breathe the varnish fumes...
My voice is coming back slowly. Very slowly. So still no phone work although I should manage next week's presentations and meetings if I'm careful.

it has 12 months which is what the £177 repair would get too, but it can be upgraded to 3 or 5 years (£65 or £85) which I wouldn't have to do right now
That seemed the sensible option to me.. thank you all xx
