oh the naiveity!
Yesterday P, my favourite Cadburys Young Stud, came round, I've not seen him since Autumn. He was looking for the hot water tank that was bought in January 2003 by my landlord to replace my badly leaking tank. He'd been told it was in one of my outhouses but I knew it's been in the knackered mostly roofless garage ever since the day the landlord bought it.
Do you I know I naively assumed that he would be fitting it in for me? Nope. It was going off to replace the faulty tank in another house (the £1000 a month has been let after all) so there went my chance of the new tank that I've waited to have fixed since November 2002! It seems the landlord is planning on rebuilding the old estate house again (an idea he had some years ago then gave up on) but may be planning on letting out the stud. I suppose the best way is to take things two months at a time because after notice is given that's what I'll have. oh arse. Just as I think i can breathe something happens to make the world all shaky again.
Got a txt from M at last. It's a month or so since I last heard from him. He seems ok. It is nice to hear from him :)
And Col rang yesterday, then Tilly rang too, so I heard from lots of nice fellas :D And Tilly called in tonight as well for 10 minutes on his way home from work which was unexpected, although I didn't see him this weekend.
Almost forgot, my parents kitchen is in one piece - as such. And next Friday it's all coming out again as the worktops have been cut badly, so the hob, sink, everything's to come back out. And one of the hobs burners isn't in alignment so the cooker guy's going to look at that too. All the damage is going through on insurance, to be claimed off the workmans insurance. The washing machine manufactuers say he can replace the door, it won't affect warranty but the cooker people are coming out to check with their specialist equipment, and replace door or cooker. The call out fee is £65 - before time, parts, etc. No wonder it's a throw away society, you can buy a basic freestanding new cooker for £139, virtually the same cost as a call out & labour charges. My new cordless filter kettle cost just £5.67, almost less than a bottle of descaler to clean one! Anyway, thank goodness their insurance is covering the cooker stuff.
No other news, was going to come online earlier but got caught up on the phone and there went the day. I'll have to catch up with everyone and everything online tomorrow now as I'll be heading off for a relaxing bath followed by an early night shortly, as tomorrow as I'm off to see the head woman to see just what kind of nutter I am. That could be interesting, or it could be hell, I'll find out once I've got there.
If you see no more from me after this then then it'll have been straight-jacket time for me! :-S :D
