Hiya,
By "this week" and "next week" do you mean "next week" and "the week
after"? Cos I thought you were coming next week now anyway!!
Well to be helpful ... next week (starting 9th) is fine Tuesday
Wednesday & Friday. The week after (starting 16th) is OK Monday, Tuesday
& Wednesday. The week after that (starting 23rd) is out completely
unless you turn up around 9am in the morning. Weekends I can't do until
... hmm about March, and evenings are complicated and need to be
organised near to the time.
Can fit in with any of that ?

Terribly sorry about this, but turns out the guy I'm meant to drive down
from Leeds can't make it this week - how is next week looking for you?

It used to crash every two or three weeks. And the plumber told me how
to refill it and reset it. In the end it turned out to be a very
slightly leaky radiator and it's been fine after that. I'm still
supposed to check the pressure now and then though.
/me goes off to do it while she remembers.

As for the boiler repair, it was free - only had it installed a few
months back (behind my spare freezer, which isn't so great). Turns out
it just needed a top-up - this involved the guy fiddling with two
dials.
Now the stupid thing cost me thousands AND has a computer already built
in, how freaking hard can it be to make the topping-up thing automatic.

That week is fine apart from Monday and Thursday.
I hope the boiler doesn't cost too much to fix :S

Yes, that's fine. I work from home so most days during the daytime
will be OK, apart from Wednesday morning. Just give me a day or
so's
notice when you'll be here and I'll be ready.

What did you do to get the extra static IP's... is this a Business Class FiOS
or the standard one...
It's business class... it has to be in order to get the static IP addresses at all (or at least that's what I was told).
As far as getting the extra ones, it was simply provisioned as part of my original installation order. Perhaps back then they didn't charge extra for a block of 5 addresses like they do now. The representative with whom I had spoken recently couldn't explain why I wasn't being charged for the extra addresses.
In any case, I'd like to upgrade to 25/15 Mbps as that's only $10/month more, but I'd also start incurring an extra $20/month charge for the 5 static IP addresses. Worse, if I do that, I was told that I'd lose my existing addresses and be assigned new addresses as part of this process. That's a lot more trouble than it's worth to me at this point.

I've got Verizon FiOS with 20 down/5 up + 5 static IPs for $100/month.
Apparently they aren't charging me for the extra static IPs, so I'm saving
about $20/month because of that.
It's definitely handy to have a few static IP addresses to use.
In any case, I'm definitely lovin' FiOS. :-)

Don't even get me started on Verizon DSL. I'll get dialup before I ever get
Verizon DSL again.
But I've dealt with telcos world wide, and they all have one thing in
common.
they suck.
It's sad, but true.
TW seem to have bumped my upstream from 384k to 768k even though they claim
I am only entitled to 384k. It doesn't seem to be consistent though either
so who knows. :)
