I came to the realisation on the weekend that there are some things in life that you just cannot live without….my fridge being one of them. Its amazing how you take that thing that sits in your kitchen all year for granted, until it breaks down, which is what happened to us on the weekend.
Our fridge had been working fine and had shown no signs of sickness or going down with a slight cold or fever, until that is we invited some friends over for dinner on Saturday night. Just like a naughty child it said enough is enough and threw a tantrum. “I’m not taking any more yummy food and bottles of wine being stuck into Gods knows where”.
So it just gave up the ghost late on Saturday morning – leaving us to scramble around with eskys etc to put our shopping in.
And the chances of getting a fridge repair man out on a Saturday are non-existent. My other half suggested renting a fridge from Rentacentre as he had done back in his back-packer days when he first came to Oz – but as our fridge is less than two years old there is no point in throwing it out.
Luckily or unfortunately whichever way you want to look at it our dishwasher had broken down in the office and so I had to call to have that repaired last week, phoned a local mob which I can highly recommend Oxford Service Appliance Repairs, came out when they said they would and carried out our dishwasher repairs in no time at all.
So had them on speed dial to repair my fridge – which they did. Same guy called out to our apartment and even remembered my name from last week…
As for our dinner party all ended well in the end – wine was a little warmer than usual and the beer was definitely room temperature but sure my other half is Irish and should be well used to that!!
Till next time
