So, anyhoo, last night I had to fiddle about a bit with the boiler in order to repressurise it, like. Unfortunately I OVER pressurised it which made it emit some banging noises  scared2:

It seemed to have vented the excess this morning so all was well  cloud9:

Regrettably, however, it had vented excess water directly into my new toaster, something I only discovered when making some toast. SO that blew the circuit breakers AND caused a big shower of sparks and a bang.

Top tip: do not use your toaster when it is half full of water

I may take it back to the shop  eveilgrin:

Not going well today  noooo:

Manouevring out of the car park I managed to smash my front nearside wing on a stone wall  cussing:  Quick left hand down a bit and hit reverse and smashed the offside passenger door into the wall on the other side.  sad24:  All this witnessed by laydee neighbour upstairs who gave me a look  redface:

Just got back to find I have also smashed the remote sensor for the gate opening mechanism so the gate is now permanently open  noooo:

Have had to call ADT out to fix it  sad32:

Wonder if I can claim this on my insurance?
