Christine,

Terribly sorry about this, but turns out the guy I'm meant to drive down from Leeds can't make it this week - how is next week looking for you?

Oh god, my boiler is the same.

It used to crash every two or three weeks. And the plumber told me how to refill it and reset it. In the end it turned out to be a very slightly leaky radiator and it's been fine after that. I'm still supposed to check the pressure now and then though.

/me goes off to do it while she remembers.

OK, cool, we'll synchronise schedules with my friend, probably come up
on Wednesday or Friday (Wed ideally, I'm thinking the traffic into
London on Friday might be a lot of Epic Phail).

As for the boiler repair, it was free - only had it installed a few
months back (behind my spare freezer, which isn't so great). Turns out
it just needed a top-up - this involved the guy fiddling with two dials.
Now the stupid thing cost me thousands AND has a computer already built
in, how freaking hard can it be to make the topping-up thing automatic.

Ahhh No problem.

That week is fine apart from Monday and Thursday.

I hope the boiler doesn't cost too much to fix :S

Actually, if you can hold on to them for another week - i.e. the week
commencing 2 Nov, I'd be able to synchronise giving my friend a
lift to
London with the pick up. If this is a problem, no worries, I'll
come up
on next Thursday.

could
come up next week if that works for you.


Yes, that's fine. I work from home so most days during the daytime
will be OK, apart from Wednesday morning. Just give me a day or so's
notice when you'll be here and I'll be ready.
