It's soooo cold!!!! Our boiler packed up yesterday at about 3pm and we've had no heating since. It's going to be next tue before we can get the plumbing guy out to fit a whole new Combi Boiler system. www.it's-bloody-freezing.com

I've been out delivery driving tonight in my Corsa. I've had the blowers on full and the temp on HOTTT. Then i come back home and it's Freeeezing. I think i might sleep in the car and leave the engine running to keep me warm. Hmmm, the Scoob has seats in it..........

We were getting quotes for £2k but it's looking closer to £1k. I can do a lot of the work removing the old system. Bye bye coilover money.

Outrageous. She had a plumber come out who has already ripped her off for a part he fitted and didnt fix the problem. He then ripped the fuse out so no other plumbers could test it.

She owes him £150 for that! I was telling her not to pay it or at least just say have your part back and here is £50

My sister's heating broke too.

She didn't let my nephew go out playing in the snow as he'd get cold and not be able to warm up in the house.



Even more when her mother in law lives just 3 mins away, he could warm up there if it was so bad.
