I'm impressed!

I really am! And believe me....it takes a lot to impress me. Especially when it comes to getting yer money back!

Remember how I got a weather station for Christmas off Pav? Here:






Well, not long after I had it, the wind speed indicator had broken and being lazy/not bothered, we never took it back at the time. Then, another piece of the outdoor apparatus went and it all ended up in the canal ( don't ask!)

Well, a few weeks back we bought another digital indoor/outdoor thermometer from Clas Ohlson. Anyway, the other day, it all went off and it wasn't reading the outdoor temperature - more crap we'd bought!

Incensed, I decided I was gong to take that back AND the original weather station back to Clas Ohlson to get them replaced or refunded.

Today, I needed to go into Manchester with Pav , so we headed in this morning with two weather stations! We went into the shop, explained what was wrong with both and they refunded the indoor/outdoor thermometer we bought the other week and replaced the weather station we got last December. We did get another, but had the option to have a refund too - all with no hassle or arguments!

That's impressive. There's not many companies around these days that would honour things like that.

Normally it's a refund / exchange in 14 or 30 days and after that you can "go fuck your sen!"

Well done Clas Ohlson! I'd link, but they have enough money to pay for advertising ;)

    Well reading between the lines I guess you're quite happy with the outcome then?

    Just a suggestion, but in future could you tell us in plain English what you really think instead of hiding your feelings...

Where Can I Begin?

It's been nearly 9 months since I last blogged and I can't actually believe it's been that long - feels like it was just a few weeks ago really. At this stage then, I'm not sure if there'll be any readers out there, but I suppose if I want to carry on chronicling life on the boat, I need to make a start somewhere! I think the reason for the lack of blogging is, in part, because I was boring myself (never mind anyone else that reads it!) and it was starting to feel a bit too personal. I seemed to be detailing my life over the internet for anyone to read and I suppose in some ways, I was starting to get a little uncomfortable with that. However, that's what blogging is, I know! It's a diary of sorts, which is obviously only one 'facet-of-a-diamond' in terms of "our life", but still somewhat a diary and not what I initially thought would be just a way of referencing what we had done or had fitted (etc) in the boat. I have missed blogging somet...

Even on Boxing Day we manage to find time to do some "boaty" jobs! We basically finished off the wiring-in of the new small inverter that we've fitted on a 12v cigarette socket directly to the batteries for the TV and aerial. We still had the thick cable hanging down the wall to the sockets which looked a bit of an eyesore and I couldn't bear it any more! It all looks neat and tidy now and we've really noticed an improvement with the battery capacity. With everything we usually have on, using the main inverter was taking around 10-13% out of the batteries an hour, which was way too much! With this new inverter we are only using around 3 or 4% an hour which means a lot less engine running time ! It's fantastic. I think this also shows that it WAS the main inverter that was using the battery capacity and the batteries aren't knackered after all! So if there's any people out there who are planning on getting a new inverter or are fitting a boat out etc, D...

A Little Bit Better...

Yes, we're feeling a little bit more positive about it all today and we've even been cracking a joke or two about it all as well. Today, we didn't get up until late - nearly 11, despite planning an early start to run the engine beforehand to charge up the batteries so we could let it cool enough to work on and fix the exhaust. It left us a bit short of time, but we definitely needed the lie in- with everything going on, it's just drained us - plus I didn't sleep that well last night either due to the local party scene outside!! We had a bit of breakfast/lunch and then Pawel set off on attempting to apply the gum to the exhaust. Here's how it was looking: It's a bit awkward to get to as well as it's the top of the silencer, so it has broken away right on the opposite side to where you can get to - nearly against the side wall of the hull. Poor Pav! He had a little hand held mirror and a torch to help and applied it as best he could. It d...
