So sorry to hear about your water heater. However, at least you don't have to charge it.

Becky -

I'm so sorry to hear that you had to cash in your CD for the water heater, but as MYM said at least it wasn't charged. I know that's not compensation for the money you were saving for your trip, but that might have to be a little delayed. Trips are great, but your house is the obvious priority at the moment. You're making the right choice to not go into further debt.

That stinks about the water heater. And to make matters worse, you had to use your Disney money!!! But it wasn't charged at least! We had to buy a new one last spring too.

It sounds like your roof is not leaking- thank goodness. We have been putting off replacing our roof for 2 years because we don't want to spend the $1200 in labor to do it.(We have all the materials because dh did the 2 porch roofs and found the main roof to be too high to risk it)

SO--- of course while we were at Disney, PA got hit with the highest record amount of rainfall/floods in history and upon our return there was a huge brown stain on DD's ceiling tiles where the roof leaked. Needless to say, we HAVE to fix the roof this spring. I'm crossing my fingers for a big tax refund to cover it and the rest of the cc I wanted to pay off. Oh well- Mother Nature doesn't care about our bills.......neither do water heaters....

Dear Becky,

Oh, no!!! I swear I haven't been lurking around your house, but if your karma is following mine, you may be due for a new blow dryer soon, too! I am also waiting for my frig to go, but that's another thing the apartment management would replace. Hopefully I'll get one more year out of it.

Best wishes,

Littlesbigs, the Fire Drill Coordinator

Well.....considering I don't remember the last time I used a blow dryer - we are safe on that end (I HAVE one - actually now that I think about it I'm not sure where it's at!
