New Boiler advice

Which is a cheaper way to wash up?
I've just had a spooky gas bill and was wondering whether it was cheaper to boil a flat element kettle up to do the washing up, rather than switch the gas boiler on as it's normally off. My home is 3 years old and the boiler is a modern, efficient one. Any ideas please?

I…

What do I need to do?
Up until 12 months ago, we had BG HomeCare and I'm pretty sure that in the two years we had it, BG came and serviced the boiler twice. However, last year, I cancelled HomeCare as, the first time I had to call them out, the repairs needed weren't covered by the agreement....typical! I have just realised that this means we…
