I've spent my entire life trying to being a good person
and it's only the past two years that good things are happening for me. That's got nothing to do with karma and everything to do with me having my head metaphorically stuck up my arse for the preceeding decade.

But you've taken responsibility, and got things on a better track for you and your daughter. That's admirable.
How are developments with the new flat?

Steady positive progress
until the fucking heating packed in the morning. No engineer until Monday *spits*

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.
Those wee halogen/oil portable heater jobbies are on offer at argos if that's any good to you? I know, because I've just had to buy one - electric storage heaters are crap.

I still haven't put the heating on in my flat.

i have no idea how mine works, the fancy new digital remote control thermostat is a mystery to me
it comes on whenever it feels like. which is not usually when i am at home. i think i am paying to heat the flat from about 11am - 5pm.

The amazement and sheer shock
I have experienced in hearing this revelation has quite literally just bowled me over.

it's the lowest form of wit, you know

I have made no claim to high wit

Good for you
I live in a converted victorian place with 12 foot ceilings and pisspoor insulation. It gets chilly.

Have you tried looking at it and tutting yet?

Repeatedly for thirty minutes this morning with added swearing.

There may be no such thing as karma but there is definitely sod's law.

Ah, you need to move onto phase 2 - kick it.

Phase 2 unfortunately involves
wrapping up like an eskimo until Monday and trying to do my awesome jigsaw (yeah fuck off) with gloves on.

'Awesome' and 'jigsaw' are not normally found in the same sentence
save within the confines of DIY stores.
