    It's taking me ages to type this, the boiler is kaput :confused: so we have de-camped to bed.
    OH has decided to go to sleep, so I'm in the dark.

    Oh dear ..do you not have boiler insurance?...if you phone british gas they will fix it for you and just charge slightly more for the policy that's what they did for me when we moved in 4 years ago..I only phoned for a gas man ..but it worked out chaep..I think £15 p/m for the full year...s was covered all year then...good job I did it that way as it needed a fewc jobs doing...so was a bargain

    I haven't yet been and poked and prodded it.
    I have to go outside and in the side door to look at it.
    By the time I had got chippy tea on way home, it was 8pm and I couldn't be bothered to look.
    I'll threaten it in the morning.

    Night folks, the alarm is set for 5.30 :eek:
    will catch up on the morrow.

  • Night night! Make sure you threaten it well, with a big stick or the the dump. Works for me! Mind you, so does a big kick.........

    Taxi, have a good day tomorrow and may your drunken passengers be few.....

    Woo Hoo, I now have heat and hot water again.

    I went and fluttered my eyelashes at the evil boiler and begged it to work. I fear i have sold myself into slavery for it.
    Anyway, whilst I twiddled with one of it's knobs, it clicked at me and the pilot re-lit.

    Now all I have to do is thaw out the ice box we live in.

    Hope you are having a profitable day Taxi.

    Hi taxi!

    Just wanted to say well done for being tough with the sales person trying to sell you a loan and credit cards.

    Also, am glad you wrote about the Martin Lewis book as I will be ordering that soon as well (when I can budget for it) and your post whetted my appetite!

    Hope you have a good weekend hon and make a profit as whatatwit said.

    Take care.

    As it was fine here, I walked into town.
    It was busy, but not really heaving with people.

    My daughter is off to an alternative Barbie party tonight, she's going as Punk Barbie. :eek:
    I think she's going to borrow my Dr Martens to wear with her neon fishnets.
    I've been roped in to back comb the hair.
    Lord help us.
