To go and throw a tantrum at these men??

[HairyBeaver]

I know im being U BUT 4.5 hours ago workman told me my electric will be off whilst repairing the lines and he said it would be off for 3 hrs.

It's now been 4.5 hrs and I'm dying of boredom!!!

Does he not realise i have programs sky+ to watch?! As well as washing that needs doing etc

Would it be unreasonable to go and tell them to come back in the middle of night when no one needs their electricity?

well you obviously have mumsnet, so you can't be that bored.

You could always read a book?

Or do some epilation...

I bet there's some super interesting filing/window washing/fridge scrubbing you could be doing. Get to it.

It's ok MNetters, panic over, electric is now back on

You can all stop worrying now

Not entirely convinced that any of us were in a panic or worrying, Hairy, or that throwing a tantrum would have got the job done sooner - but it's good that you can watch the box again and use your computer on mains.

If he's still working offer him a cup of tea, it's always welcome.

Eplilate

Um, don't want to scare you, but a few weeks ago we had our electricity off for works. We lost everything in our Sky+ :(

Have got the giggles at HairyBeaver name changing to BaldBeaver
