Updating My Update From Yesterday ... But No Jiffy This time!

[debris4spike]

Sorry, if you missed yesterdays pic, then you missed the cuteness!

Anyway - Boiler update!

I phoned the company early this morning to find out why they didn't get back to me - The plumber had been involved in a car accident and is in hospital!  I do feel sorry for him - but ...!!!!

Anyway the third plumber in te team phoned me back (the other is away on a 3 week holiday, finishing Saturday) and she has said she will come this morning to get the boiler repaired - so I have heating, but doesn't think she will have time to do the gas fire as well (I have a back-boiler in case I forgot to say).

So, I have just had to phone Toni and tell her to apologise to DJ that he wont get his carrot this morning - Still the sun is out, so he should be having fun ... but I shall miss the fluffy look he will have in this cold weather!

Oh noes, so you have had no heating this weekend or today? Bloody hell it's been freezing!

[debris4spike]

Well luckily I was at Mum and Dad's over the weekend, but last week was certainly chilly - and last night was cold - I felt like I was in a clothes press the amount of blankets I had on the bed - LOL

Gah, why does the heating always wait till it's freezing to break? Jiffy is deeply cute, I have more pics to post of mine...

[debris4spike]

I think there is a conspiracy to see which people can wear the most layers of clothes ... thus the lack of heating to achieve this competition ... I am really going to win!

Jiffy is a poppet! Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Yeah, clearly they could send someone else over in a case like that.

[debris4spike]

Yes, you would have thought at the very least they would have rung to apologise for the problems.

It's a fact of life that heating and air conditioning always go out at the worst time. The repairmen are always the busiest when the weather changes. Do you have to be careful of the water pipes when it get really cold? We have to drip water to make sure the pipes don't freeze when the temp goes down very low. Doesn't happen too often in TX.

Yes that was part of the problem - and then someone on holiday - and someone injured ... Oh well!!

Frozen pipes - Been there, done that! About 12 years ago a pipe went in my loft and soaked the house - luckily I was here, otherwise it would have been a complete disaster. So it was something I had been aware of this week - but no problems!

oh my - you are certainly not having a good time today - no heat, no DJ - i sorry! :(

and the poor plumber! i do hope he is okay too!

it's that time of year when they are the busiest - when the weather turns colder.

*i read your latest post - so glad to hear you have heat*

[debris4spike]

Yes, asked the plumber I saw (who was the first one's sister) and he is signed off work for 4 weeks - but should be OK by then.

Still I (and the house) are beginning to thaw out now - so thats great!

I'm glad you finally have heat. Must have been tough since it's been cold. DJ will enjoy the mini-holiday.

[debris4spike]

Yay - and it was sunny, so I dare say DJ had fun ... I shall ask him if he behaved himself, which is the bit I doubt!

I'm glad to hear your heating is back up and working again - nothing worst than being cold.

[debris4spike]

THanks - I and the house are slowly thawing out!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping that you are warm as toast as soon as possible.

[debris4spike]

Both house and I are thawing nicely - Thank you!
