Sob, sob, sob

Oh dear. It is written clearly in the Order of the Law of Sod that plumbing will only go wrong after 5pm on a Friday.

I prescribe wine. Fishwifiness is totally reasonable too, as far as I'm concerned, if you have been deprived of a meal out.

Fanks. <sniff> The plumber has come now, he thinks it might not take too long. There is hope. I might stop being stroppy now.

I still think Mr W is a nobber though. ?

Well yes, that's a given in situations like this, isn't it? He is the nearest available male and therefore in the wrong. ?

Fingers crossed that Mr Plumber fixes it soon.

It's like the law of veterinary treatment

The worst injuries/illnesses always occur on the friday evening before a bank holiday weekend, during the week after you've been paid, but have had all your DDs and annual payments go out (think car tax/insurance, etc), and the local animal hospital has closed for a refurb leaving you with a minimum 100 mile round trip

I hope it turns out to be something really simple and quick to fix ?

Grrr. I spoke too soon. Apparently the boiler has been badly repaired by the muppet that came last time. Mr W and the plumber are scuffling around in the attic. I hope they don't fall through the ceiling onto my head.

Bugger. I hope they sort it soon. Alternatively I hope you manage to make the best of the evening while Mr W and the plumber suck their teeth and say things like "well it's gettin the parts on a friday night you see..."

Stoopid boilers. Totally sympathise. Ours broke last winter, and it transpired we needed a new one. The plumber wasn't available for nearly 8 weeks and didn't appear until mid December by which time we'd grown accustomed to living in arctic-like conditions. They replaced our boiler and charged us £3.5k for the privelege, eating up a chunk of the money we'd set aside for our honeymoon ?

Our bloody boiler is only three years old. Grrrr. This is eating into my clothes shopping and holiday spending fund. Drat. Every minute that the plumber is here, I'm totting up how much it costs. Stop talking and feck off! ?

Oh no Winkle - here's hoping they get it sorted sooner rather than later, and that they don't waste too much of your new clothes budget on copper piping and phlanges!

I feel like crying. Because it's an emergency call out it's costing £75 per half hour. Now he's on the phone to a colleague because he can't work out what's wrong. ?

£75 per half hour ? I need a change of career! Hope he gets to the bottom of it v.v.soon.

Why don't you start on the wine?

Oh no? How annoying, have you got wine?

Ow, that is steep. Hope it's sorted v soon - we're still trying to fix the damage from our two over the last six weeks

No wine. And now it would appear we need a heating engineer at some point. Great. At least we have hot water, if not heating.

<explodes with rage>

Oh that's bad. I prescribe a chilled Sauvignon Blanc immediately.

Oh fucking hell, lovely, utter crapola. I hope the damage, both financially and boiler wise isn't too bad. ?

Oh no Wonks. ? <soothe> ?

Fcuking hell Winks, that's rubbish.

Would it be helpful if I said "there, there"? <snort>
