So I woke up this morning, and found that it was warm

[billyskank]

Last night my boiler appeared to be kaput:

This morning it was making my flat warm. I don't know what was wrong, nor why it is working now. However I will gladly take every bit of good fortune that comes my way.

I will still arrange to get someone round to service it ASAP.

1. Wow

[billyskank]

8. It's not like you will even see this but

(perhaps someone will be kind enough to relay the message) Heat is good. I'm glad it seems to be working for the moment. I lost power twice yesterday (the day before yesterday) and the house got cooled right quick. And our propane fireplace got broken because I don't have a handy man available.:eyes: Luckily it did come back on eventually. I'm freezing atm but I shall soon (hopefully) be finally sleeping...unless the cats decide to attack me feet again.

Have a great day.

9. I see you

[BarenakedLady]

18. Thank you

[FedUpWithIt All]

19. Damn I'm so sorry...

It terrible being cold. Are the kids home?

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

20. Just one

It's ok the heat is back on. Though for some reason, I'm still cold. Maybe I just need a sweater...and a nap. I shouldn't stay up that late (early) anymore, it's catching up to me.

Thanks

:hug:

10. ...

:loveya:

Is it gas? Be careful.

[billyskank]

11. Hi MrsG

:hug:

Yes, it's gas. I certainly don't want to be asphyxiated. But I am not too worried about that. It's all electronically controlled and seems to have a load of failsafes.

:loveya: too.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I'm missing you tons.

Work is too busy.

I really can't stand one of my "coworkers" (yes, even working at home, I have to deal with politics) and he's been making my life/job miserable.

One time we had a spider weave it's web over the tube that supplied the gas to the pilot light on our furnace. It cost us $125 to have a "technician" come out and get rid of it. Sigh...

:hug:

[billyskank]

13. I miss you too

:*

I haven't had my boiler serviced in four years. I was kinda disgusted when I first had it serviced, a year after it was installed. The engineer basically took it apart, vacuumed it and put it back together again. The whole process took about 15 minutes and he charged me £100.

I'm sorry about your coworker. Do you want me to come and kick his arse? :grr:

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Yes please...

He's a snotty creep who likes to imagine himself my boss.

When you call his office and he's out his message player plays,"Sorry for the unconvenience..." and I want to scream,'It's inconvenience IDIOT!" In emails, I always make sure to use really big words so that he needs a dictionary to read them. :hug:

[billyskank]

15. Then you will need a great many of these

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. That's great!

:hi: :hug: I hope it's working permanently now. :D

[billyskank]

17. It was a pleasant surprise

to be sure. :D

:hug:

I wouldn't dare hope about that. I'll get someone to service it as soon as I can. :hi:

[4morewars]

21. Disregard my post in that thread !

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

:toast:

[billyskank]

22. Well, I'm not convinced it isn't broke

After all, it did stop working last night. That isn't a good sign IMO. :hi:

[4morewars]

23. Good point, better get it looked at.

Better safe than sorry.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear billy!

Well, for whatever reason, I'm glad your furnace is working!

Being cold in the winter is no fun........

Hope whoever looks at it doesn't charge you an arm and a leg to make sure all is OK!

How's your lovely new car?

:loveya:

[billyskank]

25. Hi Peggy!

:hug:

I haven't got it yet. I pick it up tomorrow. :bounce:

I am glad my boiler turns out not to be an emergency after all. I wonder if it will work tonight?

:loveya:
