Well I've just baked 3 almost ripe pears in butter, lemon juice, caster sugar & a vanilla pod all done directly in the Remoska- a table top electric cooker. Absolutely yum. ALL gone, served with vanilla ice cream.
We're a lot warmer now-phew. The lounge gas fire now turned down & the hall radiator also on a lower setting. Ok upstairs is chilly, but have taken the fan heater up ready for later. I've even removed my body warmer!
Washed up with kettle of water- rest for dishwasher, when I get round to emptying it.
Lottie- now NO hot water tank, so no emersion heater now either!
With these new fangled boilers the tank & the one in loft are both redundant! The empty 'hot' one is now outside & the loft one has been emptied/drained, I hope. I refused to let them see if would go through the loft hatch- noway, it's way too big. But as it's now empty, one less worry re it beginning to leak or the ballcock needing replacing again. I know that neighbours have had damp ceilings from problems above.
Combo boiler takes abit of getting used to but haven't had an airing cupboard for a long time, fuel bills are lower and hot water is on 'tap' as no tank to heat up.
Can also adjust water temperature according to the time of year. at moment ours is on autumn/spring setting but have a feeling will have to turn it to winter earlier this year. Best we have is a thermostat we can put in the room we are in or on landing in evening. When the burner is on we find the heating doesn't come on very much, heats most of house andwe don't have thermostst in living room.
Make sure you keep cover over old water tank Jo. You could get lots of creepy crawlies if not!

Right, dishwasher to empty. J.
Jo-I thought that as well about the tank but it did-can't they just cut it up?
You will notice the difference in the bills
Jo sounds like things are moving in the right direction.
Evening all, changed my mind and replaced wonder witch with my rose.

Becks - you can't taste the shape!
