I'm not meant to be debt free...

  • I'm inclined to think 'keep your car warranty'. I agree about trying to get the cooker repaired or picking up another one on the cheap.

    Thank you for that - it's so kind! However......

    OH's dad came round this morning and fussed on with the fuse box, only to pronounce the cooker dead.

    Went to Curry's and bought the cheapest oven I could find and brought it home. OH's dad had one more go at the fuses, and IT WORKED! :D

    Took the cooker back to Curry's and got my refund and spent a total of £3.25 on fuses (including a spare ;)).

    For an agnostic, that's as close as I'm going to get to having a religious experience.
    Aim - debt free (excluding mortgage) by 30.... 3 years, and four months to go...

    Just read your thread, fantastic news! So glad you can cook again AND your warranty is still intact :D

    MissKJ, that was really a lovely gesture :A

  • I had the same problem with the warranty... should I get it should I leave it... I decided just to get the service done as I was told by other car experts that it means you get a better end deal when it comes to trading in your car.

    Glad it all worked out with the oven!
