Our boiler has been replaced today so our days of a chilly house and limited hot water are over! Sophie and I went to the gym after work and we just could not get warm, probably because we'd been out in the car park at work picking up litter and sweeping up cigarette butts. It was very cold with a nasty wind that seemed to get into our bones.
We sat in the sauna for a while and then lolled about in the jacuzzi but the water wasn't that hot. I went and sat in a very steamy steam room and relished the heat for a while before sinking back into the depths of the foamy spa water. We finished our session with hot showers so at least we were warm for a wee while!
Back at home, the house was in a bit of a mess as the heating man had been everywhere and all the towels and bath mats from the airing cupboard had been dumped in our bedroom! The heating man wasn't finished until 7.30pm so Keith decided to take us out for a meal at The Royal Oak as nothing had been done with the dinner.
The children were over the moon about going out and we had a lovely, if expensive, meal. The bill came to a whopping £105, something Keith certainly wasn't prepared for... The children had decided to have three courses and their soft drinks were probably more expensive than we bargained for, so today some hefty sums have been spent. Time to rein in the budget I think!
