    There’s been a strange ball in the sky today here which I haven’t seen for a long time- rumour has it is called the sun....hoping it pops back tomorrow and it visits you too.

    I am just exhausted.
    Skint and now having yet more problems with the central heating.
    This time with the controller.
    The heating came on through the night & the temp when I got up was 27.4.
    I really dont understand the ins & outs but when the controller goes wonky it does not send the proper signal to the boiler even if the heating is off according to the controller.
    I have to think how much this is all costing me. Sigh.
    I am feeling defeated.

    What a pain about the new boiler problems I know you have already had someone to look at it several times about the pressure falling. How old is the boiler do you know?
