    I'm glad I got in in time as well...without this site I would never have thought about getting a tracker in the first place or looking about for savings accounts and bank accounts...lol.
    There is so much on this site and is excellent for information on everything!!!
    There are so many professional people on the all the boards as well that contribute the most up to date info for all sorts of things....which is a godsend as sometimes I wouldn't know where to begin..lol

    When we had our new boiler replaced that was 3 yrs ago - Combi boiler, 2 new raidiators ad fitting, was the equivalent of 2k.

    thats gives you a rough idea to work on. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I had a new boiler three years ago - not a combi, I spent about £2500 all in, including new thermostats on the radiators, etc, which considering we have a 4 bedroom house was not too bad.

    Thanks for that....just wanted a rouighish figure before BG come out.
    It'll just be a replacement boiler,maybe one radiator and thermostatic controls on the radiator.
