Winter's coming...heating's broken!

Great, Winter's nearly with us and our heating as packed in! Had the plumber over today and he was so lovely but came unprepared tools wise, lol. He had to get into my attic to examine the water tank or something and I had to give him a leg up because he forgot his ladder :| it was funny to be fair, lol. Then he had no torch to look around my attic so I had to give him a lighter to be able to see. What a palava!

So anyway, the pipes running from our attic water tank to the boiler in the bathroom are clogged so that's why the water isn't reaching the radiators which makes the house ICY cold. Seriously, in the morning your bones hurt because it's so cold! So it's a HUGE job and going to be very expensive...but these are the benefits of renting a home, I don't pay :) I feel slightly guilty that my landlords going to get a huge boiler bill but I asked if it was anything we could have done or prevented and the plumber did say it wasn't our fault and that the whole boiler system was 40 years old :O So, we've got to carry on in Arctic temperatures for a while longer until he prices the job and consults with our landlords! On a more positive note, only 3 weeks until we see this little face ;
