'Bout time for another moan I think......

you could get the council round to see the state of the house, they can force LL to do the necessary repairs.

When my nose gets cold, even when i'm in the house, I put on a scarf over my nose and my breath warms it up.

this also works for me.

I would if it were just me but OH hates the thought of an electric blanket. Weirdo that he is.

Mind you I could always get a single overbed type for my side and refuse to share if and when he gets cold and changes his mind about them.

I also hated the thought of an electric blanket, but DH just bought one anyway, and now I really miss it when we're away. I still feel a bit nervous about it though.

Suppose I'd better go and leach the remaining heat from DH to me though. My nose is also cold, and I daren't mention it to him, because he'll tell me that using my Secret Santa present would help warm me up.

Have you actually contacted the landlord regarding the heating? Unlike the cracked window, landlords have a legal obligation to ensure the heating is in working order. Of course if no engineers are available to fix the problem then you'll have to wait - but why not get the ball rolling now rather than sitting in the cold whining?

You need one of these http://nosewarmer.co.uk/
Also comes in pink!

It reminds me of the nipple warmers, I'm not sure if NZ Nature still do them, and I've no time to check now. Seriously, possum fur nipple warmers!

Don't you think you assume just a little too much?

Going back to the boiler, unless the law on this is different in Scotland, the landlord has a legal responsibility to have it serviced annually. Do you think this has happened?

OK, I've just found the possum fur nipple warmers. I'm sure you could adapt one as a nose warmer.

How do they stay on?

There's a thread about this ... seems like there's some disagreement as to legality.

Regardless, I doubt very much this boiler has been serviced (judging by the condition of it).

It kicked in again hours after it went off. Then it went off again. It seems to need a number of hours rest after working for a short while.

I'm not even sure there will still be parts for it so it will be interesting to see what the repair bloke says.

It makes me itch just looking at them. :rotfl:
