Broken boiler

Moving day and it turned into a very stressful day in the end. The movers turned up with the main van and emptied the house, it was at this point that they only sent one cleaner to clean a 4 bed detached house. Had a call to say the money had been received for mums house and they were starting to send the money over for the new house around noon. I then got another call from the solicitors to say they had messed up on the stamp duty and because I already own a house we weren’t paying enough and was it OK that we just paid more, alternatively they could see if we could only buy the house in mums name and they wanted an answer there and then. We discussed the issue and it seems that we could make the decision after the move as it wasn’t going to jeopardise buying mums new bungalow. As if moving house wasn’t stressful enough they also wanted to discuss to the formal complaint I logged with them this afternoon, at which point they were told to call back on Monday. With the hour lunch that all solicitors seem to have we still hadn’t got the keys at 2pm, it seems that they aren’t capable of having split lunches and using a phone to chase people to find out if the money had been received, tossers. We finally got the keys released at 3pm, this meant that the removal men wanted to get the vans unloaded as quickly as possible, this resulted in a few boxes sounding like there was things broken in them, a chunk being taken out of a table leg and a draw broken in the single bed base. If this wasn’t bad enough we then found out that the boiler was broken. Seems it was working last Saturday according to the sellers, yeah right. The neighbor over the road is a builder and came to have a look and called a plumber friend. He managed to replace the fuse that was blown, which explained why the RCD had tripped when I checked the fuse board, and we identified a fan error on the boiler. Nothing else we could do tonight and I was glad it was a warm night. J’s dad came over to drop the dogs off and stayed for a fish supper. Not the first night we were hoping for in mums new house.
