I am truly fed up now: Since we came home from BG we have had nothing but bad luck... The heating went so had to have a new acutator cost £150 two days later the fridge freezer went natrually 5 months out of gtd had to have a new one £299 then a week later the heating went again this time it was the timer cost £40 to come and give us heating but will cost another £200 when he comes back to supply and fit a new timer and controller. Today grandchildren here to show us how to set up and work the Wii. All went well until the remote slipped out of granddaughters hand and hit the new 42"
plama cracking the screen hence telly not working. What else can go wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I feel your pain..I thought it was only me who got dealt this type of luck.

Things will get better, sooner or later. Let me send you lots of ... and

Oh dear, it will get better! :group: :group:

Chin up Berni - we have all had bad times and survived. Look on the bright side, things can only get better now.

That's already all of this years bad luck out of the way Berni. The rest of the year should be fantastic.

Declaimer now:: Our 42in tv was new early last year was no used much as Dougie was a way for 9 months - so now we had accidental damage when Wii remote slipped out of grandchild's hand and hitting and smashing the screen hitting the screen. So do I really need to pay £200 excess, wait 3 weeks for them to sort out, plus up my insurance premium for a TV we will only use for a few month a we will be in BG most of the year, or do I just go and by another one. Either way I will have to pay the £200

I give up Just found the hallway soaking wet - the water is dripping from the ceiling and down the walls. Dougie checked the bathroom and toilet and sink ok took off the bath panel and it was soaking under there. The pipe is dripping and there is no way to tighten it so have to turn off the water. I tried ringing the insurance company but their office hours are 9am to 9pm Mon to Sat So here we go again. There is a claim already ongoing for the TV which Wii hit the screen last week, still not resolved so I hope they will add this damage onto the same claim othewise another excess charge. I don't know what I have done that is so wrong, we have had very bad luck since Dec the heating has broke down twice, the fridge freezer packed in, the new tv got the screen smashed and now the water leak - can i really take any more

Decided not to bother with the insurance company after all as too much hassle they want 4 quotes, their own assessor will visit later in the week the excess is another £150 Dougie said enough is enough - he went to the diy store bought the parts ofr £32 and repaired it. Job done now working on the repairing the wet walls looks like minor damage so paint to the ready.

I rang the insurance to check on the tv claim - They said we will replace the tv you need to pay the excess of £100. I said ok that's fine but we want the replacement to come from John Lewis as this is where we bought the tv from 9 months ago plus John Lewis gives a 5 year gtd. They aid they cannot do this they will sources the cheapest place to get the tv and that is on Amazone at £299 said no do not want that so she said she they will send us the value of the tv less the excess fee so will send £199 WHAT AM i missing something here The tv is 9 months old we bought it on a sale in J/lewis we have a new for old pols and i am paying £100 access plus another £345 to buy the same TV from J/L full price now is £545 plus my insurance will go up on the renewal There is something very wrong here. Had enough told them to shove their claim I will go buy a tv myself for the money they are offering and still keep my £100 access.
