Favour? Anyone?

I need a beta. A really hnest one because I've got a story I - gulp - want to submit for consideration for publication in the second I Do anthology and I'd sooner not bother with the submssion if it isn't up to standard. I've gone over the story 'til I went cross eyed to try to cut extended sentences and adverbs [just 2 of my worst sins] but there will be things I've missed. It's about 1100 words so - anyone? Please?

In other news, I have the day off today because people are supposed to be coming to replace our boiler. They were supposed to come on Monday AND the Monday before that. Any bets on whether they'll come today?
