Can things get any worse?

I managed to get a sofa bed mattress today - drove 2 hours to collect it but as with everything over here, nothing was easy to do.  I had a heated discussion with the electrician before I left for the mattress cause he's just going around in circles and I didn't want another day of no fix. But I got home to see the 'electrician' still click clacking the bloody breakers. He said I now have NO mains power at all. WHAT - I just don't get this guy?  Then the landlord rings me at the same time to say the electricity has been turned OFF because we haven't got our name on the account. You're kidding me - totally cracking it now!!!  I rang and did this last Thursday or was this another figment of my imagination. How can this happen, or not happen at turns out?

So long shitty miserable story short - we now have NO power in the house. I spent all afternoon cold without a heater and bored stiff as I couldn't do anything but wait for the power to come on. I spent two hours calling to get registered etc and was told it will come back on within 24hrs. Poor Deb was worried about me - there might have been a few tears on the phone as I was curled up in the faetal position on the floor. Power wasn't on when Deb got home so we packed another bag and are in a hotel again tonight. Hopefully the power will come back on overnight. It's all quite confusing as to whether this was the problem the electrician was chasing because we actually had some power. There is a theory but frankly, I won't bore the crap out you anymore. So I await to see what goes wrong tomorrow. 

After 3 days of nearly everything going to poo, it would be nice to cuddle the dogs in a warm house tomorrow night.
