You'd all be in my garden then!
I'm coming to nick your washing!!

A Next and a Lush shop at Botany would be good too!
Could you build a Pub as well please?

The radiators have just come on.... so it must be getting a bit cooler now.

At one point last week I despaired of it ever getting finished but thats a long story and in the end the company came through good.
Good old Kiwi ingenuity!! I love it when a plan comes together

I like the timer on the heat pump but as far as I can see, you have to remember to set it the night before for the morning, it doesn't seem to be on a permanent timer I will have to get the technical chappie to investigate but as he is in Christchurch at the moment, it won't be today.

When are you starting the guided tours, so we can all come and "oooo" & "aaahh"?

Sod the guided tours, I think you should start a rota so we can all come & stay for a weekend ( or a week ) to remember what we all took for granted back in Blighty!!

lol.... you might not want to come here. We had a gas leak at 3am this morning. My son woke up (hes in next room to the new boiler)... and that woke his daddy up. He smelt gas and went and disconnected the gas straight away of course. He had to open all the doors and windows downstairs to get rid of the gas.

The gas fitter came back this morning and said it was a bolt that was undone... he said the plumbers shoudlve tightened it... no doubt they will say the gas fitter shouldve checked it.

Oh well... there are also more leaks around the house so the plumbers have to come back again tomorrow.... I suppose there will always be teething problems with a new system.... specially when theyve never put one in before.

Ok so I think I might wait a week or two.........

seriously, i'm glad no one has had any ill effects from your leak
