Hi All how you all doing, bungalow getting sorted bit by bit boiler not to good takes for ever to warm up the water by the time its warm you have washed hands in cold water need to get that sorted next when we have the penny;s. Weather here not to bad had some sunny days daughter gave me 6 solar light for my birthday have them in the garden there are only staying on for a little while think we need a bit more sun they are pretty when alight changing colour.
My next scans due 2nd march l will be on the 9th course of chemo tablets march l do hope l am doing ok my moods are all over the place may be the ms or the tumour just want to get better.
Well all take care hope the snow keeps away and you keep warm. Regards Jan xxxx
Hi Jan, hope your scan goes ok in march,and its what you want to hear.
I love solar garden lights i have lots they really brighten the garden up,in summer,shame they don’t work much in the winter too.Its really cold today here but really sunny,cant wait for the spring to start,properly.
I had solar lights in my last flat with balcony. Yes they last much longer in summer. Really pretty.
Best of luck with the scan in March. Hope you get a good results. I’m not surprised your moods are all over the place. Only natural. Probably a combo of MS and tumour.
Thinking of you hon and wishing you well. Good luck with the boiler. None of the sockets in my new kitchen are working. Hopefully they’ll get sorted this week. Neil’s idea sounds good.
Hello Jan, I’ll be thinking of you in March I hope it goes well.
We’ve got lights outside they aren’t the solar ones, they are some that Lee connected to the electricity and we have a lovely water feature that lights up blue , it is beautiful at night. On Saturday Lee lit a fire and we sat out but it was sooo cold even with the fire, so i ended up going inside, but it will be nice when it gets warmer.
Hi Jan. Good luck for the scan, fingers crossed it’ll be positive news. I got a new boiler under the government scheme and so did someone else I know who isn’t disabled or on benefits but pensioners. I got mine through British gas as they came to repair my old one and it was so old they couldn’t get parts for it.
That’s a link I found for you but if you put free boiler scheme into your browser you’ll see a few options. Don’t know if you qualify but looking into it is worth a try.
Hi Jan it sounds like you have a combi boiler giving direct hot water like ours there can be a bit of a technique to getting hot water in a reasonable time turn on the tap full got about three seconds then turn it down to around half flow just an idea
One of the qualifying benefits for getting a free boiler is Income related ESA. Can anyone explain the difference between Income related ESA and Contribution based ESA?
Thanks Steve fortunately I am in the same position as you.
Surely as I have an income (pension) my ESA should be called Income based to reflect this. Leaving Contribution based to those who don’t have any income but have paid contributions either through employment or earning national insurance contribution by receiving other benefits.
Sorry can I blame cognitive issues or am I simply being pedantic.
Apologies also to jan139 for hijacking your thread.
