Be prepared.

Winter approaches and we folk with dodgy chests need warm houses. So don't forget to get your central heating check before the plumbers get too busy at the first cold snap. I wrote this a couple of years ago when I had a bit of trouble.

Good advice Don, we have everything checked over annually. Xxxx

Good advice Don, shame my housing dont take this on board, mine was done in May and I usually have a problem when it is cold as it has been off all summer, fingers crossed for this year.

Love the cartoon of Midge, she looks good as a plumber lol x

Good evening Mr.D and you've pointed us to one of your old 🏆classic rhymes!

Can't thank you enough,as you've reminded me to get our boiler checked out.

Thank you for the reminder Don. I will telephone my mum. xx 😊👋

[Hidden in reply to Caspiana]

Which part of the country does your mum live, Cas? Here in NW England my poor old heating system doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going. Quite warm one day, cold the next. 🤔

[Caspiana in reply to Hidden]

Mum is in the South East Hythe sea. 😊

[Hidden in reply to Caspiana]

It’s always a bit warmer down there. 😎x

[Caspiana in reply to Hidden]

She's right by the sea 🌊🌊🌊😱

[Hidden in reply to Caspiana]

It’s the best place to be as long as it isn’t trying to get in your front door. 😀xx

My heating the same but i am lucky that mine heats instantly as it is hot air and controlled by thermostat. Trouble is thermostat is in north-facing room and main sitting room is South- facing so i go from room to room playing the vents to balance out. Sun shines and i throw windows open to survive! I love it though. I also have winter duvet and summer duvet. Changed over three weeks ago ( when it was cold here in NW )and have had problems ever since !

[Hidden in reply to Jaybird19]

That's not very eco-friendly, but my system is not either. The boiler is quite new but the rest is ancient. It has micro-bore pipes which easily silt-up. I removed the thermostats on the radiators to increase the flow through them. People visiting during the winter (who fortunately are very few) fling the windows open to survive which I find chilly siting there in my polo shirt and shorts! 😄

Good advice there Don-

Thanks for the reminder, Don! Much appreciated. xx Moy

[Hidden in reply to MoyB]

You’re welcome Moy. Be prepared and all that, though I was never in the Boy Scouts. In fact I was in the ‘Lifeboys’, you don’t hear of those anymore, I expect they got washed away. 😉
