A LickAndAPromise

Pat went upstairs last night to check on the bath he had just run. He put his hand in to test the temperature, and when it reappeared blue and frosty, we knew there was a problem.

So, time to check the boiler. There is an off/on switch that normally cures all things boilerish and we flicked that in the anticipation that, upon restart, we would have a fully functioning hot water system. Boom, boom, boom! Big booms coming from a thing wot burns gas meant we switched it off, double-quick-time.

No hot water, so Maia was introduced to the LickAndA Promise. A lick (a little wash) and a promise (to wash more thoroughly next time).

Although in her case, it was a babywipe and a promise...
