Only a few days after my sofa broke, my thermostat decided to stop working today. Bad things come in threes, so I fear something else will go wrong soon. I have absolutely no idea what happened to the thermostat, it just kind of died. But I averted potential disaster - if it had happened when my landlord was still on holiday in Hawaii, then I might have gone without heating for an extended period of time during the coldest temperatures of the year. As it was, he popped round and replaced the thermostat in a matter of hours. This is where I'm grateful to be renting, and not having to deal with this kind of thing by myself.
