Let's just say that one of the dogs has fallen out of my good books...and I really need to remember to firmly close my bedroom door. To be fair, at least the washing machine can take a king-sized duvet and it's a low demand time of day.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
No Richards, fortunately. Just a Jimmy. Absolutely square on dead centre of the bed, and enough to soak right through to the mattress. All resolved now, but it was an all-nighter with the washing machine. Fortunately, the sun's out and I can line dry today. The really annoying thing was Mrs Retro was sound asleep in her room all night, completely oblivious to the whole malarkey and not even on hand for tea and sympathy. And it was HER bloomin' dog!!!
Little wins: I do own an A+++ rated washing machine, although three loads on a hot wash probably cost me a quid. I also have a Meradiso foam mattress, from Lidl, which has a washable zip-off cover. Every Lidl helps.
@retrotecchie . Can't reduce my heating below 18C cos rheumatoid arthritis so always looking other ways to save. Liked u idea of motion sensors leds. But can only find the small separate light ones not the just bulb type. Have I not looked enough or are thr just bulb type not available?
do u need to insulate pipes in rooms 2 radiators in house do u know? Have been told u dont cos heat of them only adds to warmth of room anyway. I think that's wrong cos radiators r designed to give out heat not pipes if that makes sense?
also gree discussion bout kettles. Managed to reduce the minium on my kettle by half previously
