I swear, yesterday was the strangest day I have had in so long. I don’t want another one, please and thank you!
First, I got my electric bill. Normally, it’s around $80.00 and can go as high as $120.00 on a bad month. Well, it was $266.50. For ONE month. My condo is a matchbox, it’s only 920 square feet!
Second, My washing machine has been “acting funny” for months. I have had to lift up and down the lid in order for it to continue its cycle. They wanted $365.00 to fix it. I told them, I don’t mind lifting up and down the lid. But yesterday, during a spin cycle, it started clicking, then it started grinding, then it started squealing! Broken.
Third, my daughter saw what a bad day I was having and offered to vacuum. So sweet. Then all of a sudden I hear “MOM!!!!” I run in the other room and basically the room is so stinky and the vacuum is whining and its toast. I have had it repaired before and they told me then the motor was on its way out. They were right. It died.
So with that, I am here to attest, it happens in threes!
Oh, girl, what a lousy day.
Check to see if the HVAC system is working properly; malfunctions can cause your electric bill to go through the roof.
Do they have Freecycle out there? I’ve never used it, but have heard great things about it.
Bridget, it is the HVAC, its about 30 years old and I hate it. ;-(
Me. I am buying the place. Tomorrow a guy is coming I sure hope he is reasonable. I think he will be, he comes highly recommended!
Sorry to hear all that! I’d definitely call the electric co and have them check – they can see by your past records that that something is way wrong.
I wrote a letter, and now I monitor my usage online as well. I hope it doesn’t happen again. I feel like shutting off the circuit breakers when I leave!!!
