dodgy boiler

The boiler, which has quite frankly always been rubbish, is now knackered. No hot water this morning. No heat. No nothing. Just a whirring noise like it's pretending to work. And a green flashing light like there's nothing whatsoever wrong with it. But it's lying. It's not doing it's job properly. It's NEVER done it's job properly. It's always been lazy. Bunking off every so often. Phoning in sick all the time. Needing a bit of a fuss before it'll work again. Then deciding it can't be arsed after all.
Well Dodgy Boiler, your days are numbered. Peter the Heater is coming this aft to size us up for a new model. And British Gas are coming on Thursday to try and charge us double for the same thing only on some easy payment plan to suit our financial requirements.
Meanwhile I'm wearing every piece of clothing I own and working really fast to keep warm.
