And ours is fixed and on now (since Thursday before last). Fortunately this means we have used almost no oil but just as well as lots of electric heating was deployed that last cold week. House is toasty warm now in time for Christmas. Have a good one everyone, and stay warm.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

our heating is on contantly from october until ~end March. I dont care what the calculations / experts say, it definately works out cheaper to set it like this than turn it on and off as thats what we did last year and it used nearly an extra tank of oilYNWA

Hi everyone, I turned my heating on late this afternoon and water started pouring out of the boiler so off it went before I got too wet, it was lucky I was in!! Anyway I will phone the boiler people tomorrow to see if they can come to fix it. I have had the fire on all day, with a couple of heaters running off the solar panels otherwise I could have phoned earlier. Its cold outside but inside its quite warm, well it is in the front room with the fire on, anyway off to bed with a hot water bottle.£1 a day 2025: £90.00/365 Xmas fund0
