Don,t let them con you into getting a new Boiler. Most can be repaired.**M**.

Glad you managed to get the bath you were longing for and hope things go ok today, love. Nice that you had a fit chap to visit even if he wasn't quite up to the job in hand lol

Will give you a call asap. Been thinking about you especially when watching the weather forecast. We are due snow later today which is a pain as it means o.h. will take the car to work and I won't be able to do the errands I need to do or pick up my prescription from the doc. A little snow flurried around the garden a while ago but didn't settle and it's stopped now.

Take care, might be an idea to think about downsizing

love

Son eventually feeling guilty came down an hour later .He managed to get the boiler going and apart from about 15 shut downs has worked all day .

He had a shower and I had the long awaited bath !!!!!! BLISS

Number 7 you better be good

Having said that number 6 was fit !!!!!! He could definately light my fires ( naughty me )

Merlin and Bob thanks for your in put but all away above my head .All I know is I have a lousy boiler that I can't tell you the name Al""" that is known to have leaks which I have experienced in the past but this is the first time I have had this many problems .

sods law I have 2 officials coming tomorrow morning and the house will probably be freezing

our boiler developed a fault where it wouldnt fire up first thing in the morning, yet once fired up would cycle on and off all day,changed the thermocouple, changed the boiler stat, but the fault persisted intermittently. however eventually the gas valve was changed,............Job Done!!

Have you tried switching it on permenantly (24hrs) it sounds like your timing switch has gone kaput,(Next time they come dont let them leave till its working properly) Ask them if they will fit you an ( UP2 Duel Channel Programmer) for heating and hot water. hope its sorted soon. **M**.

Just what I needed snow !!!!

I have a gas fire in the living room and if you sit 6 inches in front of it you feel a little heat .Trouble is the cat has claimed that space .

My son managed to switch the heating on but it only lasted 20 mins then switched off when I called him down to try again I got a load of moaning and told I am not coming down every time it goes off so now I am not speaking to him .

Time to go visit a neighbour or into town to the shops at least they are warm.

thinking about getting a one bedroom little flat for the over 55 for me and the cat !!!!

when i read the title i thought lucky girl lol ;-) ;-)
after reading the post not so lucky

i hope its fixed soon

Must be costing you a fortune in tea and biscuits!
Perhaps the answer to your question is, we only seem to get about four weeks summer a year!

Fingers crossed for Monday,
Mayfield. (Retired gas fitter!)

Hi Kathy, I know exactly how you feel love, having gone through all that at my house for a long time.

Sorry I haven't phoned, been difficult but will call you soon.

Take care and pile on the clothes, hope you are having lots of hot drinks and meals to keep you warm from the inside

love and hugs (warm ones)

Thanks Ann and John

It will some times turn on and last for an hour or less then it won't turn on at all so it is hit or miss .

What I would give for a lovely hot bath right now !!!!!

Anyone want a lodger with heating needs ?

Kathy

Hello Kathy, long time no see you on here, hope you are well. Yes, the one time our boiler went wrong it was January. I hope they fix it properly for you soon.

Kathy. That is our worst nightmare almost. And yes, never when weather is mild and the cold is bearable :-(

Yes my 6th gas repair man since 1st jan when my heating decided to stop working and it still isn't working !!!

They are sending their top engineer on monday .

Will all the parts they have fitted I will soon have a new boiler .

quick question why do boilers never break down in summer ?????
