i think i just had the worst weekend ever. I was supposed let onstream in to change my gas meter, then go and visit my grandparents. Instead onstream came around, do a rubbish job and said i had a gas leak. My gas was cut off and i then spent the next 7 hours waiting for a gas installer to come around. There was no leak, but by heating and water heater are apparently unsafe and canot be switched back on again. Fantastic.

Uncle Bob came around on Sunday, and he measured up for new combi boiler and rads. It was planned, but it's just had to come sooner. Although, that said, i don't know when it will be as he is very busy at the moment.

Still i have an electric shower and an electric heater, so i stave off most of the cold. I also purchased an electric blanket, which really helped. MY bedroom gets cold very quickly and this keeps me nice and warm. Charlie doesn't appear to notice the difference at all!

I also bought straighteners which i think are going to take me a while to get good with, i am not very dextrous with my left hand at all!

I also started tma03. I am finding this tought, i have a further 300 qords to write on the short question, and i'm not sure i can fill them. I am going for 100 words a night to try and keep up.

The whole gas thing meant i couldn't go and visit my grandparents, they will have to wait until easter weekend.

I've just heard that Grandpa has been rushed into hospital. More soon.
