Water water everywhere....

Easter Monday, and my Easter present is a nice big shed :)

So we walked 3.5 miles, first thing, to The Shed Factory - to find it closed for the day...
Another mile to the bus station, to get the bus to Shelford garden centre for a meet up with friends. We arrived early, and realised they sold proper sheds too :) Much shed-exploration later, and we worked out what we wanted, and left the helpful bloke drawing pictures of what we'd told him we wanted, whilst we had a lovely time with the Hoptons, seeing the fish and the other flora and fauna of the garden centre :)
After lunch, we went and decided on a different shed layout (poor shed man!) and then paid a deposit. After that, we found an olive tree for the boy to cover, and jumped on the first of two buses home. On the first bus, we realised we'd left the boy's coat at the garden centre, so Matt gamely jumped off the bus at the next stop and headed back in an attempt to retrieve it...

The boy and I headed back to the house for naps, and then I proceeded to uncover the damp patch - only to find that the back boiler is STILL leaking. A quick phone call to the fount of all DIY knowledge (aka dad!) and a bit more destruction of the house to find the drain for the hot water system, and 8:30pm found me attempting to drain the central heating system. It's now mostly drained, but the valve for draining the system now won't turn off properly, so the hose has been left on, snaking its way out via the catflap, to continue it's emptying overnight (and hopefully, by the morning, it'll all be sorted and I can concentrate on filling the skip that will be arriving!

Night all...
