Boiler's on the blink (again) and don't want to pay out as it will be serviced by BG in January under payment plan. As we often have a baby in the house now, we need a backup heater - convector, oil-filled radiator or fan (but not noisy) to keep one room warm. Anyone got summat for a fiver or so near to Reading? -- Marina Mayes - Reading, UK. To email me remove XX from my address XV535 (sold), GPZ500S (promised), SR250 (in bits).

Ta ever so, but I don't know anyone who is passing that neck of the woods and the petrol to fetch it ourselves would be more than getting a cheapie from a shop would be. Also, it has to be soon - although the boiler is technically working, it's a bit nippy in here. So, I think the shop has it. But thanks again. -- Marina Mayes - Reading, UK.

Well knowing the boiler was -about- to go bad (again) and also knowing that it has been 2 and a half years since the last service (which cost about 300 pounds including a new heat exchanger), I called British Gas to get onto their service plan. Signed up for 15 quid a month. Knowing my boiler as I do, this will pay for itself in no time at all. but, having only just ligned up for it, we will have to wait for January and the promised service before saying "Really? Gone wrong has it? Coo, who would have thought it!" Having now repressurised the thing and turned it up a bit, it is limping along again and we are warm, for the moment. We also signed up for the plumbing and drainage plan at 4 pounds per month - again, this is good for this house, which is always cursed by plumbing probs. We have 3 things lined up already. We refused the electrics cover though, no problems with that usually. -- Marina Mayes - Reading, UK. To email me remove XX from my address XV535 (sold), GPZ500S (promised), SR250 (in bits).

Three years ago when we relied on coal (smokeless) for heating I was only shifting £40-50 pm. Although we did use electric for cooking.
Just checked the last bill 26.5ppl so it's up from what I thought. The £250 was on the cold months, obviously during the summer it's much less, still the overall annual bill will be ~£1600[1] which is about double the oil bill at our last place. Oh yeah, I've seen the price of oil double in a short period before. [1] Not including the £108 rental for the tank :-( -- Ian "reorganising, a wonderful method for creating an illusion of progress" znvygb: (ROT13 all of it to mail me) The FAQ is here http://www.ukrm.net/faq/index.html 98 FZS600, 72 T120R MIB#21 TWA#6
