It really is one thing after another with this house...

Some of you may remember our issues with the boiler and then the washing machine in this rented house.. Those issues have now been rectified but now there are another 2 which have become evident this weekend (why is it always 8pm on a saturday night when these things become evident??)

Last night Dr Shoes went to get some ice cream out of the freezer and shouted up to me 'I think the freezer door has been left open or something, everything is defrosting' I went down and we both were checking the fridge / freezer and we realised that even the fridge wasnt working properly - even on fast freeze the motor wasnt kicking in...

Luckily we had our freezer in the shed so we bought that in from outside and transferred everything over to it - the fridge is still a problem though as there isnt space in the house to put our fridge as well as the freezer..

The other issue is with this really heavy rain were having at the moment, it would appear that the guttering above the back door is knackered or blocked and the water is pouring down the wall across the bathroom window and onto the bit of covering between the house and the shed (corrugated plastic to form a little porch), it is now pouring through the sealant on this covering and flooding the area directly outside the back door so we cant go out there without getting drenched..

Were lucky in that the letting agent are open today but they seem a bit incompetent (makes us wonder why LL is paying for them to fully manage as she has ended up sorting the last few things out herself) so I will ring them later and see what they say
