You might wonder why I seem to be fixated on the weather right now…

We still have no heat or hot water. Nada. Nothing. The technician arrived this afternoon, poked about, told me he needed to order a part and left saying he should see me Friday providing the part gets in alright. Friday.

That’s just not good enough. I’ve called the estate agents to ask them to put a bit of pressure on the company, aptly(?) named ‘Quick Fix’. They’re kind enough to root around and try and come up with some heaters for us in the meantime, but again, it’s just not good enough.

It’s times like this when I realise how much of a control freak I am, and used to be, I can’t just get on the phone, ball someone out and make it happen when I want. Frustrating. Very frustrating.

And very, very cold.
