Just off to Argos to pick up a couple of 2KW convection heaters while I wait for the council to pull their fingers out. If anyone else is thinking of getting one, most are out of stock or ready for pickup in a few days :(Ah ok mate, it’s all very confusing these days, one of my daughters lives in a council house, but it’s run by the housing association she actually works for, seems to be a common thing.
Yeh radiators red hot, all turned up to max.There's something wrong without a doubt there. Were the radiators getting hot?
The critical problem is resolving the problems in the gas supply, the biggest problem at the moment is unfortunately there isn't enough gas to go around as other countries are also buying it up. Wholesale gas costs are currently 1000% higher than they were in December 2019. If you ran a pub and the price that you buy beer at goes up 1000% then how can you not put up the price of a pint?They are cunts, there has to be an end point in this but will things return to what they were? Even if Russia is defeated and our reliance on them has gone, we are decades away from new nuclear power plants, offshore wind, tide? People cannot go on like this forever, I can see us entering a Great Depression like the 30s if we aren’t careful, it will snowball quickly I think the housing market will crash first then unemployment then there will be no stopping it.
Wife who was up with the dog at 4am said the boiler kicked in then it was 14.5 degrees so that’s about right, I’ve lowered the minimum temperature to 12 now as it really doesn’t need to come at 15. I think shows how cold it’s really getting now, imagine the poor fuckers on the streets! House is taking forever to get to 18 we will just have to suck it up like someone says before I’d rather be warmer than go on holiday next yearOur temp in the front room is 13-14C when I got up this morning and with no working boiler it's not going to get any warmer. I've also just discovered that the electric fire which hasn't been used for nearly 5 years doesn't work. It's been buried behind various potted plants for all that time, I'm going to have to pop the surround off to check I didn't isolate it in the extension at the back.
Postal strike today won’t get voucherSTILL not received my December fuel payment from British Gas.
Was told last week it would be on my meter by today or I will of received an email this morning with a voucher for the credit. I've received neither.
Currently 112 in a queue to speak to someone. Really pissed off about this
Are your radiators the correct size for the rooms they’re in mate ?Yeh radiators red hot, all turned up to max.
Bet you’ve got a Porsche cayenne and a Range Rover up the drive. Just kidding,I’m in a similar boat but with hardly any savings and an old Skoda. It’s no fun is it.In 11 days I have used just gas, £164 I shit you not electric not to bad probably around £35 never the less that’s £199 in 11 days our mortgage is £1,100 a month so with council tax water rates etc etc it’s close to £2,500 a month outlay then food fuel leisure on top of that it’s crazy
True to form the guy turned up with no advance warning 30 minutes after plugging one in for the wife (the heater just to stop short any jokes).Just off to Argos to pick up a couple of 2KW convection heaters while I wait for the council to pull their fingers out.
