We have a radiator that isn't working.  Bristish Gas man came out and checked.  Said it was due to muck in the radiator and suggested we buy a filter for around £350.  Said we'd think about it.  It's been working ever since he left.

I've just purchased a 10 ltr steel jerry can  took a while tomlocate such a small one but after several weeks wait i picked it up this after noon.
 I'm hoping to run a deepcycle battery with an inverter on a big solar panel with 12 v led lights and the oil heating pump on the inverter.
I have been given a 300 watt 220 volt petrol  Honda genny that also has a 12 volt output the fuel cn is for the petrol .
 I've put the hesting poump on an individual switched socket instead of it being  wired into a box so I can unplug it and use an extension lead that runs back to the genny which will be sat in my shed. so we can have heating if the powere keeps dropping out.
 I'm a recently diagnosed type two diabetic and I really suffer when its cold as my pores are usually open making me lose heat as though I'm sweating heavily .
Without  reasonable heat I'm  having to get wrapped up in a quilt & lay on the bed as  back probs won't let me sit for long on the settee or in an arm chair, which is not good for me .  Putting on an extra jumper does not seem to help either as I need whole body covering including my head . to feel warm .
The future does indeed fail to look orange , it looks more a darker shade of black.

Plantoid, if you do it don't already, use a hot water bottle or two - I often have a hottie behind my back on a cold day, even if the fire is on.  It's amazing how much a half-a-square-foot of warmth can warm your whole body...  (I used to have a cat, now I have to use a hottie!)

I turn our heating down  to 18 during the day but if its warm outside ( anything 14 and above ) I put it off. Its 20 in the evening till 9pm then off till 7am. Try and save as much as possible so always put lights off.
