It is so nice to have heating again

The plumber came yesterday and fixed the radiator, so we now have heating again. It feels so, so good.

It took him a lot longer to fix than he had hoped and it cost £98 but it was worth it. The reason why it took so long was that there was two cracks in the pipe. He fixed the first one and when he was trying to get the heating to work water was pishing out of the pipe and across the floor.

I am glad that we do not have a carpet as it made wiping it up a lot easier. This was when he discovered the second crack at the floorboard level He told me that he did not have the right toll to get the floorboards and that I would have to wait till Thursday to get it fixed.

When I asked about what would happen if he used what he had already got, he just told me that it would not look too neat when he put it back. It did not take me long to decided that he should just go ahead with it anyway as I wanted the heating back as soon as possible.

He had to go away and when he got back he was able to get the job done in good time. He also bled all of the radiators after and left me a spare key so that we can do it as well (we did not have one)

The twins were good with him as well (they had to miss nursery for one day) they liked watching him but they did not pester him too much. My daughter was very sweet at one point. When he was working away she leaned over him and gave him a hug a couple of times and then after rubbed him back. It was so sweet to see her acting so affectionately.

Since getting the radiator fixed, the heating is working better than ever. This could have been one of the main reasons why the heating was having so many problems recently. But it is indeed so, so nice to be able to not only get the heating on without any problems but to also get hot water without any problems.
