Boiler broke and radiators leaking/corroded




HI everyone this is my first post and really need your help - My boiler which is 20 yrs old has finally gave in and requires replacing along with the leaky/rusty radiators. The problem is i have a good job but was made b/rupt a couple of years back and find it hard to get finance - what can i do as i need heating/hot water for myself and when the kids visit, but cannot afford to pay in full.
Thanks in advance

    If you can't get money from family and friends you could save your money until you can afford to fix it and in the meantime buy some blankets, possibly a small gas heater and use your kettle for hot water.
