Been in our new house for 6 weeks now (moved in on 2nd December)
I had an accident (fell down the stairs!) 3 days after we moved in and so spent 2 weeks immobile (couldnt realy walk or drive - very frustrating!)
There have been a few issues;
The boiler didnt work properly (its not old either!) - very little hot water. (have to bath the dc at PILs and we have to have showers)
The kitchen hob didnt work properly - have had to replace it (£200).
Then the conservatory roof started leaking....a company came round 3 times before it seemed fixed (£300).
Not a great run up to xmas really Anyway, new year and all that, right?
Except
The boiler guy is coming out tomorrow to clean and try and sort boiler (£600)
The conservatory roof is leaking again so needs looking at again.
We have no savings left. These bills will have to go on the mastercard. Its mine and dhs 40th b day this year - were planning something special. Not going to happen now.
Just keep thinking - if we had stayed in our (too small) rental house we would have £20k in the bank, the LL would sort any issues and we would be able to go on a nice holiday and have no CC debt.
I know IABU and silly...this is a nice house BUT the shine has really been taken off it for me and all I can see are the problems and things that need doing.
I actually thought about asking dh if we could do a bit of decorating and put it back on the market in the spring!!! I didnt...he would go loopy
Come on...give me a kick and tell me I am being silly!
