sulkyblueblogI sometimes think livejournal has some sort of magic connection to higher powers¹, a few short hours after exploding at livejournal about my continued lack of functioning boiler and the incompetency of plumbers, it's all fixed! There's heating AND hot water! It's almost like living in the modern world!!!
Having spent god knows how long being mucked about by Permanex Plumbing (oh look they have a website with a toilet on it - how symbolic) it turns out the problem was the little sparky thing that sets the pilot light aflame. 5 minutes after boiler man from Alpha (possibly these people) arrived it was fixed. It then took him an extra 10 minutes to sort out the pressure imbalance Permanex had had me create to prove it wasn't their problem). All good. All in warranty. Less than 2 hours from me phoning them to it being fixed.
I celebrated with an extremely hot shower and walking around the house with less than 4 layers of clothing on. Then I went to lunch and Starbucks with my brother.
I now feel I can get on with my life. I'll get on with that any minute now ;0)
