Moving in day

Official moving in day for my sister and boyfriend. Was expecting to have to help lots, but by the time we arrived, they'd done most of it already. All that was left for me to do was walk around the house with a dictaphone doing the inventory.

Later in the afternoon once things were starting to get sorted, I could smell gas in the house. I asked whether anyone else could smell it too and my sister tells me they tried to get the gas fire working on Thursday night and could really smell gas, so shut it off.

Kept being able to smell it though, so eventually called the gas board who were round within the hour and detected a leak from the gas fire. Fixed and sorted. I sit there smug thinking oh problems like that are easy to sort out - I'm going to enjoy being a landlord. Hmm. We will soon find out won't we?
