he did give us a little heater though so bonus points for that, it was cold as balls this morning

WHAT

they're gonna get a biffing

(this was partly because it's been annoying me for a while and partly because I wanted to get the Christmas tree and the wreath out, which usually live in there)

me in 1995 in the back of the car: MOTHER stop singing along to Cher you're so embarrassing
me in 2025 on hold to OVO: IF I COULD TURN BACK TIIIIIME

idk who controls their IVR but they absolutely had hair like Jay from the Inbetweeners in the 00s and were probably a big fan of the Libertines

missed a call from the insurance so on hold to them and their hold music is peak 2006

yeah you've not heard this in ages either have you?

OK so riddle me this Batman: it's come up with the same fault as it did a few weeks ago, which cost me an egregious amount in parts and a power flush to get all the ick out, but was actually a component that my insurance would have covered?

a third boiler man will come today to fit the part

also it's so cold and dry in here that I keep getting static shocks off things (including The Beast) so that's fun

awkwaaaaaaard

it's the guy that helped fix it the other week

day 2 in the freezing cold house

boiler man the second is coming to see if he can identify what the fuck its problem is and whether we can resurrect it until I can organise a replacement

The Beast has nested on the bed so hopefully she won't try to get in the airing cupboard again, or attack him

"but the tourists-"
"the ones who traipse about squealing incoherently about getting their fictional letter from a fictional school even though they are 35 and have made a derivative hero's journey book about a wizard who becomes a cop their entire personality? those tourists?"

new career aspiration: become station manager at Kings Cross so that I can veto anything and everything to do with that fucking book and I will personally throw the trolley in a skip

fuck off out of here with your TERF book and you're not filming here either, bye

a man came to look at the boiler

the man did not know what was wrong with the boiler because it was probably installed when I was still in high school and no one supports it any more

another man now needs to come who is an expert in ancient boilers

it is still cold but at least we have tea

idk what you're sulking about, at least you have fur

I had to open twitter to find out what was going on
