Heating difficulties.

My heatings, gone kaput,

With this I will not put.

I telephoned the plumber man.

And he came round hot foot.

Look here says I, this will not do.

I'm old and very frail.

On top of that forecast says,

It's going to flipping hail.

It's old says he, it's pipes are choked

I'll have to flush it out.

On hearing this old Midge jumps up

All ready with a quivering snout.

Calm down says I you're far too fat

To go chasing down the pipe.

Plumber man takes his hammer out,

And gives the pipe a swipe.

The heatings back to working now,

But tomorrow he'll be back.

To pressure wash the system out

And get it back on track.

Ahh thats lovely, for real? You cant be without heating! Mines been doing overtime these last few weeks.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It's for real alright. It's working now and if it goes off again I have a number of heaters available. He will be back to flush it tomorrow and if that doesn't fix it I can live in my campervan parked in the driveway until it's sorted. The old and frail was a bit of a fib, the frail anyway.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh. Stay warm. Hope it’s fixed tomorrow. I feel old and frail some days! This winters been awful for us all. Take care.

Ha Ha Don, that was very Good. I have been housebound all week with a chest infection and weather not yet Spring, My heating went Kaput also, noticed it had gone off at 5am when it can be cold indoors.......Phoned our Council, by that afternoon they had come and Fixed it in 5 mins. WOW, how is that for a hands on Service. All nice and warm and Snug with my Little Chihuahua princess. xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hacienda]

That is very good service, as it should be. It can be very worrying when the heating goes off. Hope your chest infection has cleared, there's some very cold weather on it's way here so I'm told.

Love Midges outfit. 😂 Xxx

Pressure washing takes a while

So patient you must be

All gets done with a smile

And a lovely cup of tea.

Hang on in there Don and Midge. Xxx 😘💖😘💖

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

I only hope that you are right.

And he's careful where he sticks the pipe.

Scruffy told me don had spoken

something about his boiler broken

i asked her what she'd heard from midge

midge had replied its like a fridge

further news is due to follow

when all is fixed some time tomorrow.............keep warm Master Po ..love......skis and scruffs

[Hidden]

Scruffy certainly knows her stuff

That clever little ball of fluff

Put those two in a room together

They'd soon warm up

As they run for leather

[Magpuss]

😂😂😂 make sure you're well wrapped up till the jobs done, we wouldn't want our own poet laureate to catch a chill and lose his voice.

[skischool]

scruffs and midge what a pair

though scruffy has much more hair

midge has got a larger brain

and scruffs is just a blooming pain

together they would make us laugh

until we stuck them in the bath

then we could rest and have a beer

and they would sleep of that no fear(sorry i gave up on the last line don,you are the master and i am but the grasshopper,,,x

I think you have to be well into your second childhood to be good at rhyming. I can't believe when I hear folk complaining that they are now 'old' at 65. Strewth! They are 21 years younger than me.

[Tykelady in reply to Hidden]

It baffles me that housing for the "elderly" starts at 55 but State Pension, formerly Old Age Pension is being paid out later and later.

[Caspiana]

Oh no Don!! You've got to stay warm. I hope it will be okay. Luckily in case of emergency you have the camper. Hoping it gets sorted very soon. xx 🍀

Get your woolly vest ready just in case! xx Moy
