Woke up t discover the boiler had stopped over night; house cold as a tomb. Trying to reach a plumber; have to stay off line so phone line will be open for call-back., If I can't get one today will be staying with Carolyn; don't know if her computer is up yet.
I have on 3 layers of clothes, a blanket and hot water bottle. Cross fingers that I can get a plumber to come today, everyone is busy!!

Oh Eileen, I am so sorry, definbately have everything crossed for a plumber to call imediately.

So sorry to read this Eileen.....Hope the plumber gets to you asap!!!stay warm...Could not have happened at a worse time.........Hope you are back with us soon....Can you give the plumber your cell phone number, keep your phone line clear...??

So sorry to hear that Eileen, I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling like....it's cold here but we get nothing like the temperatures you are experiencing at the moment...

Stress to the plumber that you are a senior citizen and hopefully they may make it a priority on their list.

Meanwhile try to stay warm......have you any other type of heater that can at least keep one room warm?

Take care, keep warm and don't worry about Catsey....we'll be here waiting for your return

(((hugs))) xx

Oh so sorry. Keep warm, take care. Lots of layers and warm drinks.

See you soon

How awful - do hope that you will find a plumber. At least you do have Carolyn to stay with so I won't worry that you will freeze.

dandysmom · 17-01-2009, 04:18 PM

Callback....the plumber will be here today! Oh indeed I did emphasize the freezing senior citizen bit; trouble is there are a lot of people in the same situation. Luckily the first plumber I called is one that my neighbor down the block owns; I suspect that helped. Anyhow, we're still freezing but help is on the way, and I can natter on now! Poor Leia does not understand why her nice warm radiator isn't warm.......

angieh · 17-01-2009, 04:21 PM

Good news - do let us know when you have heat again!

Mags · 17-01-2009, 04:27 PM

Wonderful news Eileen, I hope you don't have to wait too long for him to arrive.

I bet Leia is glad of her nice warm coat now...

What a relief. How on earth did we all manage before? When I was a child there was only the coal fire in the kitchen and living room. Our bedrooms must have been baltic.

I hope the plumber arrives soon DM.
