:eek::eek: Got woken this morning by yet another massive crashing and banging noise coming from the tank in the airing cupboard. I can now hear the pump whirring on and off. We have heat, and for now appear to have hot water again but I am unsure for how long . I really need to get this sorted :eek:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Nope you are right, it isnt good. It was sooo loud it frightened the living daylight out of me. Its the second time its happened but Mr PG hasnt been here either time and I swear he thinks I am making it up !
I am not even going to think about new boilers etc, its not in my vocabulary ! :rotfl:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Funny you should say that, I saw a Squirrel this morning, so maybe he has made a home in the airing cupboard. I never did see the going of him after we made him an escape route last year ! :rotfl:
No, the Mr PG sized hole is still there. There were three but two werent big enough for him to fit throughThey are boarded and plastered but they haven't been finished off or painted over. They look lovely
. I showed them to my new builder friend on Monday and he said that when they fix the roof they will also sort out the holes . As they were made to rescue the birds that came in through the hole in the roof it is the NHBC's responsibility to repair all damage including Mr PG sized holes. I was slightly embarrassed explaining why the hole was so large though .

Today I am breaking my day down into hourly chunks to try and achieve everything I need to as I have been failing miserably recently.
So I spent : -
one hour working early this morning
30 mins googling noisy Heating Systems and Pumps. The signs are that the pump could be Scaled up I am not so sure. I will investigate further.
30 mins making beds and tidying bedrooms
1 hour clearing kitchen, dishwasher getting washing on and entering comps and updating diary
I am now planning one hour of ironing , I have ironed two things so far- that should take me to 11am .
1 hour to file VAT return and also make a decision on how much we can or cant pay to them. It could take longer to play around with the figures.
1 hour to hit the shops and change some of DD1's birthday presents she was bought that are too big for her and also try and nab some more YSL freebies. I have a little stash going on
At 2pm by the time I have done the above, I can then fit in another two hours of work hopefully.
At 4 pm I will spend one hour writing to the Solicitor re DD1s Injuries from Car Accident and sending over all relevant documents etc that she needs.
Then it will be 5pm. I will feed my children and then drop DD2 at a friends whilst DD1 and I attend Parents Evening.
If I am lucky I will be home by 7 ish after picking DD2 up on my way home.
At 7 pm I will nag DD1 into doing some more Science Revision for an exam and get DD2 to repack her Dance costumes ready for Saturdays show.
Then it will be 8 pm , I hope, assuming things go to plan !!
This will be fun, I am already 11 minutes behind schedule, something tells me this plan may not be my best yet ! :rotfl:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
