Baby is teething bless him so he is unhappy, had to go the a wedding last night leaving the little on with is nan for the first time.

 

Long story short between getting him settled and feeding in the night i ended up with 4 hours sleep.

 

Thought i would have an early night put him in the bath with me. mrs goes for bath and there is no hot water. YAY, cue me wondering outside in my pjs, with a torch to check we have oil. The pulling the kitchen apart to get to the boiler.

 

2 hours later i find the broken valve that had shut the water off to the system. I open it and the water flows so i sit down again, only to hear there is no water again! Turns out the boiler had shut down the burner due to the heat of the water inside it.

 

I have now found the reset button and its fired. Baby still awake ....but i have hot water........for now. Looks like tuesday i will be changing the the valve.

 

Just thought id share that.makes me feel better to bitch.
