We had a new boiler fitted ( old one was 15+ years old and though serviced yearly they recommended replacing . As the energy prices are going to rocket , we decided to change it , and we've had a boiler breakdown in winter before , it was no fun)

So when they were fitting of course the radiators had to be switched on to test them, on one of the hottest days

You would have the lovely smell of the jam Constantly

Hello!! I'd love to join - I adore Christmas. I'm a bit lonely as a single parent to my two DS. They're both under 2 so don't really understand how magical Christmas is! Xx

@CrazyBaubles needs to interrupt her holiday to fill the thread with Bruce!

70, we didn't seem to save much purely with a new boiler. However, where we have saved is turning it down to 64°. Apparently 60° is even better, so I'll do that this winter. We've used about 3,000 kWh less over 12 months doing that.

I went to Asda earlier Woolly, not like us not to bump into each other in a supermarket 🤣

It was heaving in Asda Why. I think half the town were taking advantage of the a/c.

I was thinking how lovely and cool it was in there Woolly. I briefly toyed with the idea of getting a job there for the air conditioning!

My car journey was longer than usual too with all the flippin' road closures and traffic lights.
