Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

We’d couldn’t sort our heating out and he’s phoning a plumber today who will hopefully come tomorrow. I’m not sure if it was a manifold dh put in a while ago but sounds familiar and it looked like a thin black coaster another time he put a little pipe - thing in both to stop drips. He managed to get the fire on for me so I’ve not been cold today......then the heating came on all by itself this afternoon 🤔🤔 - no idea what’s going on with it. Dh reckons the boiler isn’t talking to the remote thermostat.......

Our plumber is still here 😱😭😳. I'm starving and I want to cook dinner 😫. Plus DS3 is still waiting for his shower 😖! I hope he finishes soon and it's not going to be too expensive.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Thanks both of you 🙂. He left at nearly 8pm. He's going to send us an invoice tomorrow. He was here for three hours and the part was £130 so it won't be less than £300 😟. At least it's stopped dripping and it's been serviced. We've just finished eating and I feel shattered 😴.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Hopefully the plumber has gone home and ds has had his shower 👍 and the bill wasn’t expensive. Dh phoned our plumber and he suggested we try various things - all of which we’ve already tried. He suggested going on line and researching pairing the boiler with the thermostat.....but we can’t do it yet because it’s working now 😡 Plumber said if we don’t have any joy to get back to him.....January spends - £587.584

Hopefully it wasn't as expensive as you thought and it will be fixed for a long time now. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

I hope the plumber cost you less than £300. I had a service when I left the old house and it cost me £94 and he didn't even flush the system through...
I love that you and OH are able to have coffees in the garden now. Must be nice If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
