The men came first thing this morning to put in the new boiler. They've got all the doors open, have been rummaging through cupboards to turn off the water. Which is another thing, I so want a cup of tea, and it's only because I have no water to make one. The cats are locked in bedrooms, the dog is at my mam's, and I have many hours of banging and crashing to come.

I hate being along with workmen in the house. That's James' job, he's the one who likes nattering to them. Sadly, he's at work.

Oh well. Shiny new boiler and working heat at the end of this. That's totally of the win.

Whenever there's the slightest chance of the water being off, Mum and I fill both kettles to the brim, for fear of being without water for - GASP - an hour or two :D

And I hate being alone with workmen too. I never know whether I'm meant to talk to them or leave them alone. I don't want to offer a cuppa, because then I'd really have to be social.

Sadly I didn't think to get water first. Which is silly as obviously they need to turn off the water to fit a boiler.

Exactly! James just goes and chatters away, but I can't do that. So I keep out of the way and hope they come to me if they need something. One just came asking for a drink but of course we had no water and there's no pop in the house. He ended up with milk and of course I'm wondering if I should have been ready for this situation and had drinks in the house.

I so over think things at times.

We'd be just as hopeless when it came to giving a drink, because apart from the tea and coffee, we usually only drink water. Well, and Dad always has a cask of cheap wine on the go, but I'm not quite sure it's appropriate to offer that sort of thing ;)

I'd love to offer wine, see what he says *g*
