Well, the lamdlords have refused to pay for a bbq or similar but still haven't actually ordered the oven. The woman is obsessed with getting the bigger cooker as it looks better even though the engineer clearly says it has to be a smaller one as the bigger one will be too tight for ventilation, she wants to speak to him again and then order tomorrow, we've already been told it is likely to take at least a week from then so that will be minimum 2 weeks without a cooker. Now I know i'm being stubborn but why should I pay for a bbq because we are desperate, it's their responsibility!!!!!! I shall be ringing someone tomorrow to discuss my rights here as i'm tempted to ask for a reduction in the rent now for the time we are left without a cooker!
