Yesterday evening actually ended with us repairing the curtain fixings with gaffer tape - it held all of last night, we'll have to see about tonight...
This morning, cooking breakfast went rather wrong. I turned on the gas at the box, and wandered about merrily in the kitchen getting food ready. I wandered back into the living room to find my son sitting quietly reading, whilst the gas fire was hissing loudly, as it leaked gas into the room! A quick dash back to the box, and several window and door openings later, we ended up with oven cooked sausages instead for breakfast!
I took the hose off the drain sump for the boiler system to see water still flowing from the pipe, which did not stop when I turned the valve off.... We've had a bucket under it most of the day, and it seems to be slowing down now (I have no idea what's going on, but someone who knows what they're doing will look at it soon :) )
The skip arrived at 9am, and was nearly full by 10:30am. Only two more skiploads left in the garden, I reckon! That meant we could clean up just in time to be ready for the first of the school visits to try to choose one for the boy. We've now seen two schools, explored the local shops and library, had extra keys cut, and spent the evening planning electrics, kitchen, bathroom, furniture layout etc. It's been mostly a much calmer day - a jolly good thing for one and all..
