Double glazing and central heating

The weather has turned pretty chilly and we have had a frost each morning since last Saturday. Thoughts turn to having a warmer house. Ludicrous to have central heating and not be able to put it on. I rang the firm who installed the boiler here, a couple of weeks ago, and was promised that Monsieur Dubois would call back to make an appointment. I called again a couple of days ago and was given the same message. I rang again today and finally got to speak to the man himself, hallelujah! He has promised to be hear before the end of the week, I shall believe that when it happens. Neither of us want to start it up before it has been serviced, that is assuming we could anyway, both of us being somewhat ignorant of central heating boilers. So until then it is warm clothes and an open fire in the sitting room.
We had another quote for double glazing on Monday. Big company, pleasant and efficient chap but more expensive than the man in Aire. We went down to Aire in the afternoon and signed the contract for him to come and do the replacement windows. He says that the work will be done in the first half of December, watch this space!!
