really old style living?

Hi Annie - I'm not certain hun, but I think it might be Katholicos? or was it Kezlou?

Mardatha might know, cos I seem to remember her asking for something similar, and someone helping her out.

Gawd blimey! What a vague reply :rotfl: but it may help

Not vague, its a very helpful reply, I think its Katholicos, off to see if I can use the search to find her:)

Someone on this thread has their own home page with great printable jam labels and lots of other useful crafty stuff.
I know I've book marked it but my bookmarks are like my home at present, cluttered

Anyone know who I mean please?:D

Think that's me

Try my homepage and see if it is

I hope this doesn't come across as insulting your intelligence, as that's not my intent, but have you tried "bleeding" it?

I've got one in my hall that is an old looking thing, and no thermostat on it that I've been able to find, but once the heating is on regularly this time of year, I have to bleed it every 2-3 weeks, and before I've had time to let the air out of it and tighten it back up fully again, the radiator is too hot to bear your hand on......just a thought

Or maybe try bleeding them all to make sure the whole system is free of air?

Great idea, thanks Hippeechiq, i have a radiator key...now just need to find it! The radiator in my living room never heat the room very well at all. When the CH was put in that was the one radiator i wanted them to replace and for some reason they chose not to. :mad:

Thanks for that reminder hippeechiq - something I ought to do too and I haven't done for ages!

Ditto.

Though, over the years I've done all that sort of stuff and the kitchen one is still a problem even immediately afterwards. I think its the various air vents in the walls that dont help. I've had one of them completely plastered on the outside and put a slide-across cover on another one (which helps - but its still basically a cold room - so I'm on a double whammy there of cold room and "runt" radiator).

I'll get that radiator key out tonight and go round them all again anyways...so thanks for reminder.

Well I posted something the other day and it disappeared - hmm, if it was removed it would say wouldn't it? Might well be me rushing.

Anyway kitchen work stopped dead, guess the housing company is running out of money so have a plaster walls, concrete floor motif featuring mainly oh but the sunshine comes through the holes in the bathroom wall quite prettily - actually very angry but now got the flu and to ill to care

I could not live with out lots of hot water, would forgo anything to keep that I think. Have managed without a washing machine often in the past and while its difficult it do-able. Once borrowed a caravan washing machine that you wind with a handle and it was fab. The secret to handwashing I think is lots of rinssing.

Dd just had her radiators 'bled' and its much warmer in there now.

Have the cheque from the taxman in my sticky paws now so am off to spend carefully very soon. What luxury, extra cash , am scared of spending it really in case we have an emergency. But yes knickers are a priority:rotfl:

Not necessarily.

I've had posts removed before now - without a word of explanation.

Re the work stopping dead - I'd be on the phone instantly asking for an explanation as to why and confirmation that they would be starting work again "tomorrow" - and making notes in my house diary as to name of person spoken to/time/what we both said and keeping "right on it" until the work is safely completed. I wouldnt think for one minute that the housing association had run out of the money - I'd just assume it was their workers playing "silly b*ggers" and I would have to keep on their tail until it was sorted out.

I think those workers have probably had a temporary "stop" on your work to deal with someone who is "screaming louder" than you - and "scream" at top volume myself to get them back again.
