This year all was going quite nicely, quiet, peaceful no obvious problems until.......sitting minding my own business I glanced at the radiator under my front window and noticed what I thought was a spill or splash of something, couldn't imagine what, on the top right corner.
Investigation showed it to be some sort of oily brownish gunk.
Still not worried I took a couple of dettol wipes and tried to remove the mark. only to find it hardly had any affect, so scrubbing a little harder I found it appeared to be a leak.
Suddenly my holiday brain-freeze relaxed its hold and I tore upstairs to find an emergency number for British Gas with whom I have a maintenance contract.
To cut a long boring story short, an engineer was with me in an hour and told me I needed to have the radiator replaced.
It appears that I am covered for this so all was easier than I dreamed it could be and they are coming on Monday to carry out the work.
I am still somewhat worried about the possibility of the leak suddenly getting much worse before then but at least the demon/gremlin has been packed off to gibber in a corner (probably till next Christmas).
