My heating's packed up
As we knew it would.
Offered landlady the two-penn'orth I'd picked up from plumbers and the internet telling her that this was bound to happen after the three radiators have rusted and that the system needs flushing to save her AND me future problems but she just laughed snottily and said "Well they're servicing the boilers next week,but I'll give them a call about this problem." as though they're unrelated.

Bear in mind that the last two years they've done the annual service, my heating has packed up the next day and they've called it coincidence and tried to charge her.
WHY DOES SHE KEEP GOING TO THEM? They might be cheap each time but in the long-run it's a fortune!

because she is a mite foolish
and the idea of long-term saving might not have occured. Or maybe they're related to her

She's a selfish witch
Yes, she's a bit naive, but she knows full well she should be forking out.

Is there nothing you can do? :(
maybe sabotage her heating?

I'll stop looking after her cats at her every whim or late meeting or drinks with friends.
She can see what inconvenience looks like.

Let her get on with it. I need to meditate on this and get tough and bear the cold and take lukewarm showers and not lose my temper. She'll get hers.

That seems fair enough
in college heating either works splendidly or not at all. The showers are rubbish though

Punch her in the tits.

It works with my grandmother. £10 Christmas present? I ask you.

It's the thought that counts
but seriously, what an old mingebag.
