Pet Peeves

I am sure every has their onw little ways of doing things and one littel thing always seems to be a bone of contention in your house. Well, a major 'little' crazy driving thing we disagree on is the heating/hot water controls. Ee have lived in this house for 8 years and for that whole time we have disagreed over how often the hot water should heat and how many times the heating should come on. I flick it off, he flicks it back on, i flick it off, he flicks it on. Its like a game as to who see's that little red light on the control. Well.... we got a new control yesterday, ( because i broke the last one!) and not only has it got an option to program how many times it comes on in the day it now includes a seven day timer/ to control weekdays versus weekends..... or set each day differently if requuired. It has also got a holiday mode, isn't that great! (Sarcasm is trying to come through) What happend to the simple on and off switch? Mom.. I think those wood chopping skills would come in handy right now..... maybe the stoneage wasn't so bad after all!!

Anyone who knows Patrick will know that we are two opposites,, he loves the technical and programmable.. I don't ahy complicating something is necessary!
