A Day of Waiting - Gardens Broadband and Gas Boilers

That will teach me to try and be clever.  I arranged for guys come over to slash and burn everything in my garden today, alongside the Gasman coming to give the boiler it's annual check and Virgin Broadband coming to install 20Mbps fibre - all between 8am and 1pm.

Status so far:
Gardeners arrived at 7am !
Broadband engineer arrived at 11.30, installed fibre but left 'to bring back the router'.  Is now apparently down the pub with his phone turned off and no sign of him coming back
Gasman rang at 11 to say he'd be a little late but definitely here by 2.  Still no sign

Update: as I was typing this the Gasman rang to say "yeah I know you booked a job for this afternoon but I only just got given it" (fantastic).  I've rescheduled for 7.30am tomorrow which means I can get on with my day and he can get 90 minutes overtime.  All I need now is the drunk broadband installation engineer to turn up with a wireless router so he can "instruct" me how to configure it *sigh*.
