Breakfast stuff washed up and put away

The gas man is now banging away in my attic, as well as upstairs in a bedroom.

Bad choice of wording?

Where's the old @Fnaar when you need them?

Apparently the new pump is leaking and faulty, so there's a second new pump going in. Oh, and the isolation valve's also faulty, so a new one is going in there as well.

My head's hurting from all the banging away.

All done, chemicals added and a few final litres drained down to pull chemicals in from the header tank.

Recommend fitting a Magnaclean as well. Collects most of the cr*p as it flows by. Haven’t needed to drain our system for over ten years now

I appear to have a slight cold, but only in my left nostril.... 🤷

Just got a call from someone claiming to be offering a "better" electricity deal. When I said I'd like them to send me information he got really pushy and said he had to sort things out on the phone first, then they could cancel my previous contract, and then they'd send he paperwork.

He may be legit, but I'm not trusting someone calling from Berlin at half past seven in the evening and refusing to send any information in writing.

If they're not providing me with information, in writing, up front, then they won't even be considered.

Make sure you don't call anyone a muppet.

We have heating. And hot water. Oh, and a broken smoke detector from the leaking new pump which caused water to come down through the ceiling

British Gas can cover the cost of a replacement mains smoke detector ...

I have a tiny question about energy comsumption. The washing machine (and tumble dryer ) have a master switch on the wall away from the machine. Those switches have an ickle red light to show it is on.
How much electricity do those lights use? Is it a micro/tiny amount so that it is not worth switching it off between washes?
