I had another unplanned early start to my day, and although I wanted to go back to sleep I couldn't, so Dh and I were drinking tea at 6:17am! We had a leisurely breakfast caught up with the news and we were showered and dressed before 8:30 not my sort of start to the day, these days I like to take my time.
Dh suggested we went to town to post the parcel to Isla, her Teddy... which we didn't do yesterday because we dozed most of the afternoon! One of the results of broken night's sleep. I didn't really want to go to town, it felt too cold and the kitchen needed clearing up. We'd left everything after dinner because the cooker went phut!
It was out of the guarantee, and we hadn't extended it. We debated what to do, the grill wasn't heating up and hadn't for a while, but we waiting till after Christmas. Now it was the oven!
Did we want the stress of finding a repair man, getting the part, fitting in a date etc!! Definitely not....... me and this catheter is enough stress, and broken nights sleep is tipping me over the edge and there's only 2 weeks till Christmas!
It only took us less than half an hour to buy a new cooker, we knew what we wanted, and its coming Saturday and we've paid to have the old one, and the packaging taken away! We believe in being stress free, so buying new was the best idea for us.. just as well we don't spend our money on useless stuff these days! And we will be able to have a Christmas dinner!

Buying new is so much easier here too. I imagine that’s what the appliance companies rely on.
Our oven stopped a few weeks back but hubby figured out that it needed a new sensor. He sanded off the old and got us in service while we waited for a new part. It came and we ended up needing it soon after. I dread shopping for large items. Or clothes. Or shoes, or etc, lol.
Success!
Glad you got that problem taken care of - and now can look forward to the new one!
Probably a wise move at this time of year. Who knows when a repairman might show up? And the cost of parts is crazy anyway, so it probably cost less to buy new.
I'm glad you got a new oven. Hopefully, it'll be trouble free for several years. :)
