Oh no.... hope the boiler can be sorted out without major outlay. 
Fingers crossed.

Turns out the boiler is working it's just taking a long time for the water to get hot but it does eventually,I'm still thinking of calling someone in to give it a service at least just in case

Wow what a wild night it was last night,I thought there would be some trees down but they are all ok this morning thank god,I'm a bit annoyed with the weather today though as I had to go out and while I was out it was horizontal rain and high winds but now I'm home in the dry the suns come out, that's just typical 😂

ive got to nip up the garden in a bit to clean out the 🐓🐓 so I'm hoping it stays sunny and that they can have some time in the garden today, they will be very grumpy otherwise 

I also have housework to do so need to get cracking with that as well, then I'm going to do some sewing I've done half of it now so it's coming along quite nicely,I wish they had added a way to add photos to the new forums then I could put a picture up when I've finished it

Love the chicken emojis!

I did a bit of googling about your problem getting hot water and realised I know nothing (;) ) but I wonder if the heating part is getting old or sediment is building up? I found this which might or might not be relevant. Ours takes a while but I think it's the combination of long pipes and low pressure, so your relatively quick onset of a problem is clearly something different. Hope you get it sorted (soon and cheaply). x

I looked on you tube and it's easy to fix if you don't have a condenser boiler but they advised if it's a condenser to get someone out because they are quite complicated, its always taken a while to heat up ever since it was installed but it has been getting worse over the last few weeks,I thought I was imagining it but it definitely took longer than normal yesterday,I think it's likely to be one of the two problems you have mentioned so hopefully won't be too expensive to sort out,I don't think it's an emergency but I needs looking at soon

You are brave, looking on YouTube! It sounds as though whatever the problem is, it's reached some sort of tipping point when the issue has become a problem. I expect plumbers deal with these things all the time, whereas to us it's once in a blue moon.

I hate calling people out to fix things so will always check to see if I can do it myself first, you tube makes it so easy and has saved me lots of money in the past 😊

Had a busy day today,I've polished and hoovered everywhere and changed my bed,I've got two loads of washing done and cleaned out the 🐓🐓they have had a pootle round the garden in between the downpours of rain,I've just been and shut the run and it's really windy again so I've had to fashion a door to their house to stop the droughts getting in, luckily I had an old plastic shower screen up by their shed so I've put that over the doorway,hopefully that will keep the wind out of their house, they sleep in a plastic dog kennel and it doesn't have a door just a plastic curtain type thing,but it's no good when its windy,I'm just hoping the roof stays on,it's weighted down a lot so should be ok 🙀
i was hoping last night was the worst of it but it sounds just as bad out there now,I'm not looking forward to taking the poor dog out that's for sure

i also got some of my sewing done this afternoon so I'm happy with that,I might do some more later if I feel like it 

Stay safe everyone

You're putting me to shame! I have pretty much come home, bath, tea and now I am I bed with my heated blanket. I sorted out little one, but we came and snuggled in my bed. The storm kept me up loads last night x

You have had a busy day! It's been freezing with icy showers in my neck of the woods 🌬🌧. I was glad to come indoors so I don't envy you your dog walk!
