Bonjour!
You will be pleased to know carrying on from the last blog, that Grumpus won the battle with the first of the sofa covers, it was a tight squeeze literally getting the cover back on, but only time will tell if I actually win the war!
Today I feel a little like liza, who had a hole in her bucket, but change the bucket to a radiator and not where we are living but our des res back home in the UK!
Mr V broke the news by posting a picture of said radiator on facebook, with water pissing out.....that was my cue to FREAK out, with Mr H having to literally crowbar me off the ceiling!
Anyway thankfully we have found an AMAZING maintenance man "Jack of all trades" who from 10.30pm UK time last night up to 8.30pm UK time tonight, went to the house, looked at the radiator, priced the job up and said he would come back tomorrow to sort if we were happy to go ahead.....finally a tradesman who you can rely on!
I don't think anybody has let him into the "trade secret" which is he could turn up days late, charge extortionate prices and people would still be grateful!
So that is every radiator in the house changed within the last 4 years.....clearly radiators and our house just don't mix!
Started packing in anticipation for the big move, hopefully picking up the keys on Friday so keep your fingers crossed please!
I had a small triumph at work today.....printer that is that big and expensive, I would expect it to fecking cook a three course meal for me decided not to play any more yesterday, I bravely rang the printer company...not a big deal I hear you mutter...wrong! Again major communication problems but got off the phone hopeful that we had agreed she would send me a waste container cartridge today.....tadar! This afternoon, what should arrive but two waste container cartridges!!! I was happy with that, twice as much but hell at least something a) arrived and b) was the right thing....think that smug feeling may return briefly!
Short and sweet tonight peeps as I am bushed, I have a hot date with..........my bed!
Ciao
Grumpus
