Is there a union that electrical appliances belong to?
Is there a suicide pact that happens around this time of the year?
I'm beginning to think so.
Last year in the same week of early July our:
- Electric column heater started to leak oil - out in the rubbish it went. Lasted 7 years (or winters)
- 4 slot toaster we received as a wedding present stopped working. Lasted almost 6 years
- Vacuum cleaner died - Lasted 10 years.
Bye bye tax refund basically.
Things are not built to last or even be repaired - they are built to be thrown away and replaced I've realised.
This past few weeks:
- I had smoke billowing out of my kitchenaid - luckily it was just working too hard and I need to go easy on it (and only knead dough for 4 mins tops)
- My oven has died - to me, this is supreme punishment - at present we don't have a definitive fix date as we are waiting on a part...
- And then yesterday, the slow cooker died.
Add this to my food processor which after 8 years the lid has to be held on for it to work. I'm really needing a kitchenaid one I think.
Do your appliances pack it in all at once? Am I perhaps 'over' loving them?
Perhaps I need a kitchenware Frills in the Hills sponsor? hehe.

Definitely try for a Kitchenaid FITH sponsor... and get them to throw in some extra appliances as giveaways. *lol*
It's always the way isn't it! The day after our car battery warranty expired, the battery decided to die. I'm not a paranoid person but... :P
The Gremlin is here too, I blew my new food processor up and have to use the old one now. Any day that one will go too.
I also paid $160 for a dishwasher service man to come out and tell me there was nothing wrong with it but the socket it was plugged into has blown.
Tonight I dropped my Le Crueset casserole lidand smashed the handle to pieces but they are guaranteed for life so no probs there.
Wouldn't a KitchenAid sponsor be brilliant, I am trying to decide between a K food processor and a Bamix at the moment - can't afford both.
