pezSo, my washing machine broke down on the midnight of 20th February. Contacted the letting agent, who are managing the property because the landlord lives in Australia. It turns out the guy I contacted was the most incompetent person in the world and it wasn't until early April that the company finally got rid of him and put someone else on my case. They were ever so apologetic and promised to get things sorted asap.
An electrician came on 11th April and declared the machine "beyond economical repair", reported back to the agents, who liaised with the landlord about getting a new machine. All seemed well, I told them to keep me updated...
Yesterday, a new washing machine turned up, delivered by Currys. According to the agent, they were supposed to call him upon delivery, because he was waiting outside my place. Currys didn't call, agent went back to the office, Currys showed up, I wasn't home because nobody told me this was going to happen - but luckily Liz was.
Unfortunately, the space for the washing machine is too tight. They have to move the cooker before they can pull the old machine out and put the new one in. So, instead of calling the agent (like they were supposed to in the first place), they decided to leave the machine right in the middle of my flat, and instructed Liz to tell me to call the letting agent about it.
The letting agent, as of this morning, has been informed. He's pissed off that Currys never called him. I'm pissed off that I had no washing machine since late February.
So, any bets on when I'll have a working washing machine?

To make matters worse, it rained like fucking hell this morning and neither of the shops near work had any milk on the shelves, so I can't have any tea until I go to Tesco this lunch time. DDDDDDDDD:
