At last it seems our boiler has been fixed. The engineer turned up nice and early yesterday and was able to see where the boiler was leaking from. It wasn't from the part that he had come to replace but thankfully he had a spare on his van of the faulty part. He replaced both anyway. He then discovered that the gas pressure was dangerously low and had to call out the emergency gas board. They came and sorted it so now we have a boiler that doesn't leak and a gas cooker that is working on full power...

Our boiler engineer was supposed to come today to replace the part that they 'think' is causing the leak. Lo & behold I got a phone call at 9am to say he wouldn't be coming as his van had broken down - could he come next week instead . I was very calm and didn't raise my voice too much and agreed as I had no choice. OH just keeps saying forget the whole thing as we are leaving soon but I don't really want to hand over the house with a leaky boiler. I do have some pride

Boiler still leaking. Engineer called out again!!!! S*** law means that it stops leaking before he arrives. He can see where the water has been and thinks he knows the bit that needs replacing - REPLACING??? The boiler is 2 months old!!! He needs to order the part and will make another appointment to install it.

We are just getting used to things not working properly now that it is nothing new. The toilet has now sprung a leak and OH insists on trying to seal it himself...

After having had a new boiler installed a month ago I woke this morning to find the new one was leaking. I AM DOOMED. However they have agreed to come out this week (Friday) to try and repair it. I don't ask much from life, just hot & cold running water, a roof over my head and some food (not too fattening) on the table. I have tried to be good but someone up there is throwing all sorts of spanners at me to stop things from going smoothly.

On a brighter...

After the joy of submitting our ITA things went from bad to worse. First the credit card company called me on Monday to tell me they were checking our transactions for fraudulent ones and that they had stopped a payment to NZIS. Needless to say I went a little bit mad. Thankfully NZIS did attempt to take payment again and this time it went through. Then Tuesday - as most who have read the forum will know - we took our dog to the vets who diagnosed a growth in his abdomen. He was booked in for surgery...
