Yesterday I asked a friend to collect a letter from my apartment in Stockholm, as inflexible Swedish government companies cannot mail things to addresses abroad, and I needed some information to register Little Car here in Oz. If I had not needed this, she would not have gone there and discovered 2 other extremely important documents that had been sent to the wrong address.
Fortunately Insurance Companies are more friendly and without discussion took the blame for sending me my insurance bill to the wrong address, waived the late fees and also ensured that the 500kr fine I had received from a 3rd party, for not having paid my insurance was also waived. In all, I feel a bit better than this morning when I received all of this. Thanks Malin ;-)
On another note our hot water tank in the House in Stockholm gave up a week ago, flooded the kitchen and now needs replacing. At the same time our Central Heating boiler for the House in the UK may need replacing as well, to pass the Gas Safety Certificate criteria. So a week of many, and some fairly expensive bills :-(
I think there is a saying in Sweden stating "an accident never comes alone" and I think it might be correct.
