Bye Bye Home Appliances!

It all happened so quick, never had time to say goodbye

It only took a sudden power cut, and you were gone

Bye Bye Home Appliances!

We had a great time together, but now you are gone…

Our fridge is now empty, it no longer works

It still holds lovely photos

But a few days ago, it was full of life

What’s on my fridge? Food and surprise!

Our microwave would make lovely porridges

Heat up our food and melt chocolate for cupcakes

Bye bye little microwave

Our washing machine has always been so kind

Sadly it is now broken

It kept our clothes fresh and bright

On Friday 27^th September, a power surge broke several home appliances in our neighbourhood, it affected our area and, as a result, we lost several home appliances. Sadly nobody wants to take the blame, apparently it is not the electricity company, nor the distributor or the council’s fault. So who will replace our broken appliances?! We will be praying that it will get sorted soon as it is painful living without essential home appliances.

Oh no, what an absolute nightmare – such a shame no-one taken the blame either. I hope you get some shiny new appliances soon, you must be gutted. A story to remember though, thank you for sharing with #whatsthestory

It is definitely a story to remember, it’s been really hard living without essential appliances, but we are keeping our fingers crossed and praying! 🙂 x

Contents insurance should cover it & sometimes it is a matter of wording things correctly if things are covered. I had a huge problem with damp in our house which ruined everything – the laminate flooring buckled & was ruined, 2 sofas (unknown to me they went mouldy on the backs due to being against the walls which had gone soggy to the height of 3.5ft), rugs etc. I phoned the insurance company – they said damage by damp wasn’t covered & turned me down. We had a surveyor round who said that the damp was due to an escape of water. I phoned back to the insurance company & it turned out that “an escape of water” was covered & was the words that the insurance company were looking for & they were happy to pay up so they sent someone round to assess the damage & we had the ground floor of the house dug up to find the broken pipe & fix it. They had turned me down flat the first time round. A lot of insurance companies are like this though. They will turn you down flat the first time round to avoid paying out, then if you appeal they will accept. This has happened to me with mobile phone insurance twice too. Turned down for flimsy reasons, I’ve appealed (nothing in my situation changed) & they accepted. Sometimes you have to be pushy & keep appealing.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have been on the phone with all the parts involved for nearly a week, since last Friday, and I am not going to give up. Thank you for letting me know your case, so I will check the insurance website for all the terms and conditions that I need to know to make sure that my claim goes through. I’m glad your claims got sorted in the end, I will persevere as it is horrible living without essential appliances! xx

[…] washed clothes. A couple of months ago, I was sent the new Ariel 3in1 pods to try, just as our washing machine broke (together with other home appliances). It might sound weird, but I was quite sad I couldn’t try it […]
