Our boiler has been on life support for three years and finally died at Xmas. At least I have a good idea of how insulated our house is - and how much heat an oven can produce.

Thought of you when it came up on my feed 😂

There was a story on the news a while ago that Westminster have quietly cancelled their plans to have heat pumps fitted in place of the current gas boilers they use :popcorn:

That's because they weren't appropriate they were going to be noisy, expensive and inefficient.

 

By the time everyone has one it will be like the whole world caught tinnitus

That the journalist thinks 4x£140 = more than £1000 makes me cry

4x140 ? they are paying over 1k a month every month in the winter, up from 140 a month for old gas boiler.

Wow.

 

Wife took my car as she now has to commute between two hospitals during the day, so I walked the woofs to the pocket park in the village. It's bloody gorgeous out there. If I can find my sunglasses, I'm out on the bike in 5...4...3...

Life is a bit like Coronation street at the moment. 

 

Moved into my new house 2 weeks ago, got a load to do but me and my dad are adept with DIY. Then my dad suffered a heart attack about a week back now, "critical" aortic valve failure, which must be serious as the NHS are replacing it next week in what seems like a record turnaround time for treatment. 

Then the other day my mum was taken out by a husky running off lead, chipping a bone in her ankle and tearing ligaments. Took her to hospital yesterday and got her x-rayed and got her foot put into one of those large boots. 

Sister had the recent ex-girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend get in touch. For context she wanted to move to Australia and found a fella who wanted the same, he went out a few months in advance to get setup and she followed. I consoled her in Bali last year where we met up as he broke up with her and she found he'd been seeing someone else. I gave her some tough love as she excused his behaviour any chance she got, and my cynicism (optimism with experience I call it) on the situation proved correct. Turns out he landed, met someone within weeks and decided to declare my sister a delusional ex that followed him out there (despite still dating her an assuring her of the life they'd planned for 3 years). I've advised my sister take this girls word with a massive pinch of salt, as I think the facts of the situation were apparent at the time and she's only reaching out to cleanse herself of guilt now it's gone wrong. 

 

Work deadlines don't help any of this. It's a stressful time but the show goes on!

Flippin' 'eck @Fozzie, you do get more than your fair share of woe.

Hope your Dad recovers well, and your mother, of course.
