@mismi,
oh well, I have sworn. The F word. (sorry mis)
the boiler just bust.
i got the manual out...who the heck understands those things - 50 pages of twaddle and bumph). Called the emergency numbers - yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!! they are zzzzzzzzzzzzzing. ho.hum.
why do boilers break at night.
so, i've now ripped the cupbaord apart and managed to turn a valve the wrong way whilst trying to connect the hose, which mildly flooded the downstairs bathroom floor coz my hand got stuck inside the stupid boiler - connected the discharge pipes, hoped for the best, turned the valves and repressurised the system. It took me a while to figure I had to whap up the thermostat for the boiler to turn back on (doh) but it now appears to be working. Phew. Sore hands now and have left the discharge pipes attached for the moment and am hoping for the best. Please let there be heat in the morning. Bloody electrical doodahs - drive me nuts.
K - trying to settle down to sleep shortly - I feel frazzled - tho a little good that I managed to fix it (I think, I hope).
Nitey nitey - Iz<if you need a plumbers mate, don't call me> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
