OY VEY!


I noticed awhile ago that my van was leaking but I put it off because it wasnt a huge deal. THEN my AC didnt work... now THATS a problem LOL so I took it into the shop on Friday. Friday night they called and said " well... your radiator is shot, you have a leak in the tranny, and you need a couple of new hoses. The good news is your AC just needs to be charged" ok so I have the extended warranty ( which *I* insisted we buy!) with $0 deductible so all I have to pay for this whole mess is $200 for the AC fix and the extra hoses. Not bad, if I didnt have the warranty it would have cost over $900. :eek:

Then my dishwasher ( brand new) sprung a leak somewhere. It was slow drip and we had just wiped it up. well it wasnt a slow leak, it was just going under the floor. So... call the plumber and he says " its an easy fix but it will be $100." He told me what needed to be done and I figured we could do it so we paid him the service call fee and went to buy the parts ourselves. So Dishwasher is fixed now :)


Of course all of the summer activities are also due this week and the associations I belong to for work are also due. :rolleyes: and the lawn fertilizer guys came yesterday too.


Im not looking for sympathy really. I know it could be so much worse. Im just amazed at how frequently this happens you know?
I mean one thing goes and the rest just pile on top of it. LOL
At this point its actually quite funny.


This kind of thing happen to anyone else?

Everytime I get some extra money my car finds out - needed 4 new tires in Jan - they said I would need new brakes soon (!!) went to get the new brakes and they said - Oh, you also need new rotors! All that ended up being around $950.00. :(
 
Yep, every time I get some extra money something needs fixed. It's interesting how that works out.
 
Sorry that things aren't going your way. It happens to us too. We are planning a vacation, and thought things were going our way, then my husband decides to change his bike tires which we thought would cost close to two hundred dollars, but instead it costed $420. For two tires :rolleyes: .
Hope things look up for you.
