My heart sinks...It's the MIL's number.
I let herself answer it (its her mother after all).
Upshot, her water heating has packed up (bound to at some point).
Her idle good for nothing son is sat at home doing nothing as always and playing the "i'm a cripple card" like he has for the past 40 years (except when he goes all night carp fishing).
So guess who has to go and sort it out later today (if possible)? :(

It's only an affectionate term for all the "popping" sounds as they manipulate the spine. ;)
Been, and it was relatively painless and already effective. :)
Apparently (may be nonsense) he cannot do too many adjustments at once because the increased sensory input would overwhelm me?
But he did prove the worth of one of the 3 he did with a straightforward before/after comparison. I was impressed.
Another session tomorrow and then one on Thursday.
 
Another little project about to start at the sis in law's house. Her garage window is ready to fall out, frame totally shot. I've just picked up a brand new window - double glazed upvc - for £100. Correct height, but a bit short in length so it will need a small fascia type infill at each end. Collected it this morning, it was a very tight fit in the landy, even after taking out the cubby box and taking a piece off the top of the window frame (a trickle vent thing). I've watched replacement window fitters fit them in a couple of hours including tea breaks. I'm allowing myself a couple of weeks ---- :D

How much is it short in total width?
Would it be easier to shove it to 1 side, then go see you friendly DG place and raid the bin for an upright to fill the gap in UPVC.

...that I bit the bullet and after my lunch I went up to the old bag's MIL's place with herself to see what might be wrong with her water heating.
Open circuit across the plug (Fuse had gone?). Plug she plugs in is all browned and starting to show signs of being burnt. Measured across the wires and c.20 Ohms so the immersion had not gone.
Pulled the fuse out and put a new one I had taken with me in and then plugged it in the socket (also burnt) and after a few minutes the plug was warm to the touch so it must be passing current.
I set a kitchen timer for 35 minutes and told her to run a hot tap and call us to let us know. Is all I am prepared to do right now.
