Skint again.

No nothing exciting like another car or shiney bits I'm afraid, but a fridge freezer
Our's deceased on Monday after only 3 years and 1 month , it was an Electrolux  that cost £468
Didn't bother with the extra warranty because the one we replaced was a Zanussi, 18 years old and still going strong, we just needed something bigger ( read Beer capacity ).
After spending the last week searching the internet without much luck , we have just got back from John Lewis in Watford where we bought a Bosch.
Same size as the Electrolux but with a digital readout, 5 year warranty inc parts & labour, free delivery , £15 to take the old one away ( the council want £20 ) delivered on Wednesday for £439 !

John Lewis for the win

Nothing is made to last anymore mate! I hate buying new appliances as you know they'll not last as long as what they're replacing. Had to buy a new deep freeze about 3 years ago to replace one 33 years old. Don't expect the new one to last more than a few more years and thats if i'm lucky!!

true, but you gotta remember that by comparrison, they are so much cheaper now than they were 18 years ago that it kinda balances out...
