He said on the phone, It's usually 70 quid an hour but it'll be 120 since it's an emergency call out. I said, it's no an emergency because it's been like that for days. He said, right, I can still come at the same time on Friday for 70 quid an hour. Chancing bastard 

Doesn’t sound like a promising start, you should give the plumber who’s number I sent you for your bathroom suite a buzz, he’s a fair and wouldn’t ramp up prices to take advantage of your misfortune

I'm playing cat and mouse with the biler, it will conk out intermittently but we've been here before and as long as I keep skelping a kettle of boiling water down at the condensate pipe it keeps it ticking over in the freezing temps.

-8 on the richter scale this morning.

This weather is enough for me to consider getting a ford again for the heated front window

I forgot all about that man

Will give him a bell when I eventually get the bathroom. Have a feeling the place needs new pipes because they all looked fucked.

Driver's door has condensation in it. Means the lock mechanism won't engage, so I'm climbing toy seat over the passenger's. It's a fucking ball ache. Have been battering in wd40 in the lock and mechanism to clear out the moisture and that generally does the trick but it's right back the next day.

Just need to get through the cold snap and sell it to some poor cunt before November. Definitely won't forget.

Dehumidifier?

Turns out I left my windows on the latch,
9 degrees in the living room

Much as I’m loath to quote a Tel post, the prospect of 2Na going “I barely know her” in response to this is worse.

Get some GT-40 or GT-85 in it. Much better for displacing water, in my experience.

Anything's worth a try, we'll see what happens. In my desperation, i stuck a hot water bottle in the inside door bin thingy an hour before i left this morning to try and thaw the bastard. Did fuck all.

But, when my wee girl got in the car this morning i asked her to put her belt on and she said her hands were too cold, so I handed her a hot water bottle to cuddle. If an 8yr old lassie thinks her old man can magic up hot water bottles whenever it gets a bit parky out then all is right with the world.

I've noticed whenever it gets reasonably mild around this time of year it's always accompanied by a vicious wind. It's like you can have it a bit milder but don't be expecting it to just be a nice calm day.

The only plus us it's the first time in 2 week that I've not had to trudge through snow going in to the car in the morning.

I’ll take this weather all day long like. 11 degrees.

Taps aff m’lord

Must be something about a cold weather front meeting a warm weather front that leads to storms.

Get yourself down to the met in london and tell them about your discovery, Michael Pish
