Dixons Get It Right

I have said that the fridge had been wrecked by the previous tenants and a chippy came round yesterday morning and removed it and fixed the kitchen cupboard doors, which the tenant’s children seemed to use as exercise equipment.

The Wrecked Fridge

Note the broken door and hinges. There also seemed to be evidence of small furry animals behind the fridge, but as the chippy said, there are lots of them round here.

I’d seen the type of fridge I wanted in Currys on the Kingsland Road, so I found one that fitted on the Dixons web site, so I ordered it. I also paid £9.99 extra to get it delivered in a three hour slot on Friday morning, when I know I’ll be here.

About an hour later, I realised, that I would need to do a swap and get the old one humanely destroyed. There was also the problem of the fact that my kitchen is on the first floor.  So I phoned them and explained.  I was on the phone to their call centre in Sheffield for perhaps a couple of minutes and the instructions for the delivery were sorted.  At no extra cost too! 

I’ll be needing a new washer-dryer in the next week or so.  I wonder where I’ll look first!
