central heating front ...

... no news. I've set my landlady an ultimatum: if she can't find a plumber by 3pm who will do it, I will go and get one. And I tell you, I won't go for the cheapest!

Hope you manage to get it done today - I can see a hot bath looming!

You go, Percival! Central heating is one of the basics, there is no excuse for not getting a plumber in under these circumstances.

Yes. I told her on Wednesday midday that the flat was still cold, and I've now set her a deadline via e-mail for 3pm today. (Fired the mail off at lunchtime.) I've waited FIVE DAYS for HER plumber to find a time that suited us, while we were without heating and hot water. And now she's not getting in gear. She could have had a 24-hour-service in straight away.

Go you! That's the sort of shit she should be sorting out *right away*, which means now and not nearly a week later. Honestly. Gah.

Well, we should have insisted that she get a plumber who can come on the weekend. Fools - we waited until her preferred plumber had time. Learn from my mistake - when the heating breaks down, insist on a 24-hour service. I feel like I'm a walkover.

You tell her, Maria!

Good for you! What a crummy landlord. There is no good reason why it she should not have this problem resolved by now.

Good Luck!
