Well at least the water heater works really well. My comments previously re costs of electricity can all now be ignored!!
Yes, I was thinking a new boiler will be needed. No idea whereabouts it'll go. Airing cupboard perhaps? as in a house daughter once lived in of a similar age. Tend to be very much of the 'if it aint broke dont fix it' brigade up here, but somehow not this time. I cant actually remember how old it is, t'was a replacement for the same sort that was here originally. If I say that the first one of these was fitted in '68 at parents' house & Dad had had a replacement that was still going strong when the house was sold last year! Oh well, end of an era. J.
Does that shoe thing still go on?-a tip -never buy nicks trainers just because they look and sound like nike- no matter how poor you are
Jo-boilers have come on a bit-
when we had ours done- the hot water tank goes,the tank in the roof goes it is all compact and sits on the wall-do not go to British Gas unless you want to pay double what a local plumbing and heating engineer will charge-check out possibilities through Checkatrade
Yes Geoff, noway BG! We have a good local firm that only serviced it this time last year, to within the week! So shall get in touch with them first to get things restarted, then enquire about how we get a replacement organised. Not something I relish coping with, but needs must & at least it's not the depths of winter! J.
A busy morning, OH cut the lawn and I then trimmed the edge of it I am now getting to the stage where I cannot reach the back of the border without stepping on it. Any suggestions?
In my experience it happens a lot younger now as well. extends to lunchboxes, pencil cases, you name it. I remember several years ago when a friend, quite a few years younger than I, came into the staffroom after her class had been painting. I pointed out that one of the little dears had been careless with a brush and made a splodge on my friend's shirt. She said (somewhat shirtily, I felt) that it was a designer logo! :- )

Shoe shopping....Funnily enough it isn't the logo or make of shoe that is the problem it is the shape/ style of them. He isn't picky about brands at all but I know a lot are!

Does that shoe thing still go on-I remember buying trainers were a nightmare-never buy nicks- just because it looks and sounds like nike

If it is really old there may be a council grant available as well
The disruption was minimal -the bulk of the work was done in one day and completed by the middle of the second day,
