    We need a new bathroom too, it's a hideous 1970's one and all the seals are black with mould :mad:
    The shower is a pathetic trickle too (but I often use the power shower at work instead)
    I'm working on the theory that a new boiler will save us money on the bills so we can then save quicker for a new bathroom.

    I think the total for ours is going to be around £2k, which is pretty good really considering we've gutted it, floor, ceiling, the lot. We got a bargain on a massive quad shower too :D
    Ours was the original one from 1989 when the house was built - it was its birthday present :rotfl:

    Yeah the boiler will, they reckon £200 a year min for ours. Doing in the summer is best for deals though!

    Where's Snags, I wanna know if she has plans with CAG?

    I'm here :wave:

    Gah, no - he was texting a bit today, and he asked me what I was doing over the bank holiday, so I said I didn't have much planned, but then he told me he had a busy weekend ahead of him cos he's working!!!

    Well, I have tried my best, if he doesn't suggest a date next week, I'm giving up. He's very cute, but I'm not into him enough to chase him!

    I'm begining to wonder if she is a lurker. :eek:
    Bearing in mind I said I was going to bed 2 hours ago (that's where I am) she has texted me 3 times and rang the house phone in the last 5 minutes.

    Bummer, I was hoping your FB status was with him.

    I've hopefully pinned mine down for tonight, if you see me posting later, then it's gone pear-shaped. I had a lovely date today with another guy anyway though :o

    Exactly, they should chase us :D

    I dread to think how old our boiler is, and we have an immersion tank so the whole system is either on or off.
    I don't even want to think about how much money we waste with the damn thing.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
