    When we switched to A&L we got a form through with a list of our DDs asking which ones we wanted to switch. You could just switch the ones you'll be continuing and leave the ones you're going to pay off where they are.


    So if i just sit on the form for a week after i get it, the end of the month will be past and i can send it back to them!?

    Yay, thanks Lucifa!!

    Well the gas man has been.:o Basically I would be totally waisting my money by puting in an energy efficient boiler is it would use more gas to get the radiators warm running on LPG bottles.

    If I wanted to go ahead with the conversion his estimate is about £4K:eek: ........thats alot of bottles of gas.

    He has advised looking into getting a bulk tank installed but it would mean digging up our drive and front lawn.

    Guess we will be wearing alot of jumpers this winter and having alot of early nights:rolleyes: :D
