Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Sam, did you know Homes Under the Hammer is on? She does cos I've told her I do indeed thank you both ( I am taping it today as I am on the phone trying to sort out defective bolier ) my flipping bolier cover has somehow expired and did not get renewed so they are quoting me £300 to come out and look at it ! ( that would also cover the rest of the year ) , I am now searching online for other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClazUK Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Sam, that is STUPID money - is it British Gas Homecare? If so, we get loads of complaints about their service anyway. Phone Corgi (0870 401 2300) and ask them to recommend a local independant. A call out shouldn't be much more than £40 - £60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have just had my 3rd meter reader out in as many weeks. Despite my meter being read every few months, Total Gas decided to estimate my bill, saying I hadnt paid or been read for a year, and took £11000 out of my account Obviously I played merry hell and they send someone out and sent me a bill for £3000 instead. I asked my bank to reclaim the money and my bank took back the whole £11,000 which upset Total a bit Now I have had yet another bloke reading the meter who thought it was comical to say the least.

Jacobean Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Morning. Blooming eck Di. Happy holidays to Marian, Di & Claire Where are you going to Claire as that looks and sounds like my kind of place. The doglets would love that. Their favourite place this year was Cuill Bay. Even in the snow brr was that cold. Hope you're pleased with your haircut when you get back Kelly. Of course we will be expecting piccies. I can't believe how cruel people can be. Fancy making people eat curry flavoured biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanrossscot Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Morning all, thanks for the hugs for Glen and me. I had another look at him this morning and he has a couple of scrapes on his mouth but other than that seems OK. Sam, I symaphise re the boiler, I was without heating/hot water at this time of year before and it's not nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
