It all started late Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Our morning showers were lukewarm at best. Brrr. So I peered at the boiler which stuck its bottom lip out and refused to work ( Read more... )

Christ on a bike, that sounds like a nightmare!! *hugs* I'm glad it got sorted fairly quickly :)

A similar thing happened to my mum at home... she tried to do the wash, but the pipes burst and created a wee swimming pool =/ bloody cold!! England is NOT suited to the cold.

I know, 2 flakes and the whole country goes to pot. And we had at least 5! :)

And in fact I've just found out the reason it was so cold over the weekend is that our central heating boiler was buggered - I just assumed it wasn't up to the job!

Bodged up (and significantly less frigid) awaiting a permanent fix next week :).

Bless you, Berty, old chum.

I had a pipe burst. Lucky I was working from home when it went.
I set about repairing it myself, which should have been a simple job, but I managed to slice a deep V out of my thumb on the burst in the pipe, so I had to summon Jackie home from work to show me how to do it properly.

Still, my headache next to your brain-tumour.

Post Script: I still have Halloween presents for you and Mr.Bert.

oh no! Thumb agony! I'm sure that smaller wounds (like skinned knuckles and paper cuts and deep vees of flesh scooped out of thums) hurt far more than if you have your leg off in a freak unicycling accident. Or so I've heard.

We could do halloween at the same time as ukeleles :)
