Just a quick question - is there anything I can attach to the seatbelt clip to stop my DD2 from unclipping her seatbelt - a cover of some kind so she couldn't press it? She has the ordinary seatbelt over her and is a bit of a pest with it tbh. I seem to remember a few years ago reading about a woman who had invented something like it to stop her children unfastening their seatbelts.

something like this?

Afternoon all,

i have managed my list today as we had friends round for lunch - first time anyone from this group had seen the house hence why I manged list yesterday and today, so thanks all house was looking at its best.

BUT just had British Gas round to check the gas boiler as it was highlighted in the house survey that itn looked like the original boiler and would be approx 25 years old. Any way they have condemned it, the company went out of business in 1988 and there are no replacement parts available and the boiler doesnt seem to have been serviced for many years, they have also stated that the flue does not comply with current regulations and the water tank is the wrong size. So we are now looking at having to get everything replaced ( i can use the boiler for hot water but not for heating and even that is only a short term fix).

does anyone here have any idea of what this is likely to cost, Do i go with Scottish Gas or try elsewhere if elsewhere -where local plumbers?? We have just spent all savings on redecorating sorting out the house so its going to have to be a loan just when we had managed to get debt free at the end of last year.

All help & advice appreciated.
