Why is it

a. I never remember to order oil and
b. it always runs out at the worst possible time?


Bugger.

ETA found a place nearby that sells cannister thingys of heating oil. But ALAS i need either teeny pliers (the ones I have are too big) or a spannery thing to turn the little nut because the boiler is now airlocked.
Good thing I am off to the Mother's tonight where it is warm and there is a garage full of such implements that I can plunder in the morning.
Maybe *this* will teach me to order oil in time next year.

did you wake up to no hot water? because that is a particularly vile thing. second in horror only to a powercut that deprives you of a cup of tea before leaving the house.
