is there a number on the letter Lucy? i would give them a ring these ppl have mobiles on them so the office can call them, if they make another appointment tell them to ring you on your mobile an hour before they are coming and you will make sure u r in even if you not planning on going out hehe, i hate waiting in for workmen so i tell them i need a time not 8-6 and if they dont come before 3 they know i wont let them in hehe

There comes a point in your life when you realize:Who matters,Who never did,Who won't anymore...And who always will..
So, don't worry about people from your past,there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

some young guy checked it last year said oh it fine i pointed out the pipe out window an he rang boss asked if it ok boss agreed aslong as they stuck some sealant around it, i was assured it was ok but his guy saying different it started leaking water so glad they will have to move it to front of house

lucy i had same problem 3times i waited in allday for them not to show in jan an finally had luck today although only just got in

The gas saftey checks are for all appliances provided by a landlord, sounds like your council has side-stepped getting yours sorted and there are many solicitors who will get onto that one for you........ perhaps that will even help settle that heating bill!
I hate waiting for workmen but when they finally do arrive I hate that they are back and forth to their van leaving the house doors wide open. We had our gas meter moved as it was on the floor at the back of the understairs cupboard and I was unable to reach it or the gas tap in case of emergency and the workman was so upset when I asked him to keep the doors closed, so when he was half-in, half-out if the understairs cupboard I let the dogs in from the garden and I have never seen a big bloke move so fast!! He was far more polite after than

That really winds me up as well.
I just lock them out when they go the van and pretend i didnt hear them knocking for 5 minutes and then make a point of saying i shut the door as it was really cold and didnt realise you were out there

there must be loads of ways to get a bit of revenge on inconsiderate workmen, I know a girl who got so piddled off with a kitchen fitter asking for cups of tea when she was forced to have her kitchen replaced that she used loo water (kettle and microwave were moved upstairs so she could at least have a cuppa and micro meal whilst they took a week to fit her kitchen) and stirred it with the cat's fork...... even left bits floating but he still drank it!
