UK and patience do not go hand in hand

Good news to report here! They have fixed our heaters! While it was freezing in here this morning...tonight it its hotter than Hades! We had to open a window in the girls room so they could cool off enough to get to sleep. Turns out we had a valve issue and the entire system had to be rewired! The first repairman to come out reminded me of Dick Van Dike (actions - not looks in Mary Poppins). I don't think he really knew what he was doing. All he seemed to do was turn the knobs on each of the radiators. He came back 4 times to "fix" the boiler. Then the landlord must have complained because they sent in someone more skilled. He has been here twice. I must admit I haven't a clue about radiators and boilers. I found it odd that they would work while the repairman was here then an hour after he left they would stop working.

On the home front, we think we may have renters for the house in Houston :)

We get our sea shipment in tomorrow. Today has been filled with moving out the furniture from the house to make room for our stuff. I can't wait to get my own bed, couch, table and chairs.... well everything!!!

Sorry if I'm rambling tonight. We stayed up way too late last night enjoying being connected again! I'm so happy to be connected to the world again (my part of the world anyway). Must go get some rest! Tomorrow will be an extremely busy!
