Back from lovely hols but...

Hi family

Got back from my wonderful holiday 2am this morning. But boiler has broken down - no hot water or heating (believe me I need it).

Fortunately I have insurance so guy came round at 2pm but needed new 'CPB' and new parts (£280) and 2 hours labour (thank goodness for my £6 per month insurance!).

But new parts needed so maybe tomorrow until we have hot water and heating???

My daughter and I have been in the same clothes since yesterday am so feel 'minging' insurance will put us up in only 'local' hotel but it is so posh I don't feel worthy.

Going to bed 'minging' but content. Our holiday with other cultures has made me feel more humble and appreciative of what we have.

I think of the gardener out there with his steel toe cap boots. He had steel toe caps but not 'leather' on his boots other than a fastener around his ankle.

We have a lot to be grateful for.

Love to all of us - where ever we come from

Hi sokrackers, I'm glad to hear you so enjoyed your holiday, I hope the boiler hasn't spoiled the good feeling.

I know what you mean about culture shocks. I've only had one holiday abroad and I too felt humbled at their lack of things, that I take for granted. Welcome home. xx

It has been so hot here in the UK, do you live in a cold country?

You could always go to local sport centre pay for a swim (but not necessarily have one) then have a nice shower!

Hope boiler gets fixed soon.!!!

Good morning all

Ow I couldn't stand it any more so checked into the 'posh' hotel and had a night of luxury. King size bed and great service.

So not such a bad experience being without my boiler.

Let's see what happens next.

I will check out today regardless of oiler being fixed or not. I'm all clean now. Lol

Glad you had a lovely holiday SK and what a pain in the backside regarding the boiler. Hopefully, it will all be up and running very soon, possibly now?

We are lucky here and it is good to see how others live and work. You take care. Lots of love, Carole xxxxx

Hope the waters a bit hotter up your way now. If not enjoy that posh hotel while you can. :) , £6.00 a month well spent.

Its right about what you say, we struggle to afford our holidays but to some those holidays are completely out of reach.

Glad you've had a great time but now its time to get back to smashing it, no piece for the wicked eh'.
