It's been a really great couple of weeks. Lots to do etc etc. We have had people here for tea, been out to the cinema. Has a BBQ (weather was good aswell). We have even been to York for a Ship meet. It was really good to catch up with people and meet new ones. Our very own Jack the Lass was there with new hubby (how long is it till couples stop officially being classed as newlyweds?) and it was a lovely afternoon of eating and a small gentle walk round York. Finishing of at Jono's parents for a cuppa.
I have even had lunch with an old friend who we worked out that we hadn't seen each other in about 6 years. The joys of Facebook. It was so good to catch up with him and now he is back in the Midlands it should be easier to meet up with him.
He has got this flashy open top two seater car (jag or bmw I can't remember). Anyway I have never really been bothered by cars but was amazed how much I enjoyed being in it with the top down. It was a lovely day and the breeze was fab. I don't think there is anything wrong with our cars but to go from that to a Skoda estate didn't seem as much fun, but alas I can get more shopping in the Skoda so it's not all bad :-)
Last Sunday, the choir im in sang at a wedding in Dronfield which was lovely. I always love it when we sing at weddings as you also get a great view of the bride and groom. They both looked stunning and the service was great .
*Warning* this point is where I start moaning :-)
Last Tuesday evening I spotted that the boiler in the kitchen had water leaking from it. It has happened before but there has always been a reason. This time there wasn't, so Jono rang up the boiler people. We ended up having to turn it off which resulted in not hot water and no heating. At the moment the weather is lovely but last week the evenings were freezing so it wasn't too pleasant.
On the Thursday the engineer rang to say that he was going to arrive in the afternoon. I told him I get home from work at 2pm but he said I need to finish work by 1pm as he would be there before 2pm. He actually arrived at 3.30 grrrrr. He was only there for about 2 minutes and diagnosed a faulty heating exchange and wouldn't no when it would be fitted as it needs to be ordered.
When he left I rang up the boiler people to moan and I managed to get through to the most uninterested/unhelpful man in the world. In the end I got so frustrated with him I told him that I will leave him to get back to his precious job as he is obviously so good at it. <blush>
It got to Saturday and we still hadn't heard anything so I rang up the boiler people and were told that an engineer would be ringing Monday. As it was bank holiday we had planned to go on a walk with some friends and then have a BBQ at ours. I ended up staying home for when he rang but alas he never did (surprise surprise).
On Tuesday (yesterday) I rang them up and they told me that I shouldn't have been told an engineer would be ringing. The part they need to order is big so they need to gain authorisation that we can have it????? and the authorisation form didn't go in until yesterday. She said that it shouldn't be a problem but will take a couple of days to sort. I told her that it was a problem to me as we have had no hot water for over a week now and it's getting expensive going swimming every morning to have a shower before work. Over the weekend friends took pity on us and we showered there which was good, but not practical on a weekday morning when they are getting ready for work themselves.
I had so better get buns of steal with the amount of times I have been swimming ;-)
*moan over*
