Talking of sponge cake, this "lock down" is not good for my diet!   Today I have made a sponge cake and some coconut flapjacks

Actually I've gone the other way and seem to have lost about 6lb in the last couple of weeks.  I'm not particularly rationing myself (only the cat!) but I think the fact that I do live so close to the shops meant that it was too easy to "pop" in for something and pick up a chocolate bar (or 2) and crisps at the same time.

Well, the boiler got fitted, but I still have the same issues as before !  The hot water from the kitchen is non existent now . I mentioned this to the installer and he was blaming the taps and limescale . I think that seeing as he was there till around 7pm he didn't want to listen to that problem . I'm writing this as although he set the timer for me , it never switched off and I had to get up and managed to switch off . I will read the manual . 

As I was trying to wash plates l, I received a call from someone who's gonna check electrics and inspect it . He will be coming over this afternoon / evening. I will contact him this morning . So annoying! A new boiler and the same problems ..

Thanks beanie Lou . I sent a text to the chap who phoned . He is an electrician ,but gave me the number to call . Got through , now awaiting call from engineer ( may be sane as yesterday ) to call me . It's bizarre really. A lovely new boiler , but the same issues . 

I would imagine it's a straight forward job for whoever comes out ,and hopefully all is sorted today 🙏

That is such a pain, but it will get sorted and you do have a lovely new boiler now. The problem will be resolved but such a shame it ended up being a stressful experience. Keep calm and carry on AC

MrsPorridge

Fingers crossed that it gets sorted today AC.

Thanks folks . Still waiting for someone to get back to me . 

There is potentially some good news about the boiler situation . I have lots more room in the gas room now . I have moved the sideboard and computer desk back in there . I will have to paint part of the walls where the previous boiler was, and fill. I will get some casing to cover pipe work . The type I want is like a plastic or metal guard so I can pull out when boiler needs servicing or adjusting . No drill work required . When the electrician has been ( and hopefully plumber ), I'll put rest of stuff back in that room . It'll be tidier for sure .
