... after yesterday's return visit by our potential buyers, despite getting a text from Charles while I was out shopping saying that they would definitely be along an offer of the asking price yesterday afternoon! I think he was being a little over-optimistic, but then this is the man who always thinks Newcastle are going to win...
Currently we're waiting for the boiler man to return with a new pump. Second one this year. Something of a record apparently. And, at last, someone from Peart's Oil will be coming to look at the tank tomorrow to check for contamination and, hopefully, to make some sort of offer of compensation. (Remember that years ago their driver filled our tank with diesel and our boiler guy is convinced that the gloop that's trying to work it's way through our system is the result of the tank not being thoroughly cleaned at the time.)
I'm still furious that neither the boiler guy nor Charles, took me seriously when I told them that the boiler would be packing up imminently. If they had listened to me we could have avoided this situation and had it fixed on Saturday when he came round and tried to say it was fine. At least he had the decency to look extremely sheepish when he walked in yesterday and he did manage to admit that I was right!
So, annoyingly, I'm now sitting, twiddling my thumbs, and just WAITING. and that is absolutely not something that I'm good at!!!!
