Lozmk1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 FINALLY after almost a week (it went last Thursday) with no hot water or heating all the parts have turned up for our boiler!!! so with a bit of luck the lovely gas man will be popping round when i get home from work to fix it so i can have a looooovely hot bath and im gonna leave the heating on all night to warm the house back up, it was so cold on saturday i was crying, i had leggings, jeans, a vest, tshirt and jumper on, big fluffy socks and ugg boots to try keep warm, i was running round cleaning the house, baking and leaving the oven door open to try to warm the kitchen up. I don't know how we survived before central heating, I was saying to my other half last night we didnt have central heating at home til i was about 10 years old and im sure winters were a lot colder back then? its such a shame it had to go the month before xmas though an expense we could have done without if im honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 OOoooh, enjoy the warmth, I can't survive without heating either and it's SO cold and damp here my feet are freezing. Hope you get your bath later - it will be the best bath ever BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
