Just popping in to say the boiler has been replaced and we are now toasty and warm. It's so nice to have hot running water again. The only thing with this boiler which is a good thing is that it's so quiet I keep going to check it's still working 😀 the old boiler was really noisy and I could hear it if it was on even from downstairs. Hopefully it will prove to be reliable but if not I have a five year warranty for peace of mind.
Im off to bed now because I'm working tomorrow, it was my day off but I offered to swap and work tomorrow instead of Thursday. I will be covering someone in outpatients who has gone off sick, there is only me available tomorrow that can do bloods so I thought I had better swap or they would have been up the creek with out a paddle, the bonus is I get Thursday and Friday off afterwards 🎉🎉🎉Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -

Great news about the boiler. It took me a while to get used to how quiet my boiler is having had a very noisy old one, I kept thinking it had stopped working.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
