What's complicated? Click a link and sort out which boiler you need - mostly based on counting radiators from memory -get £100 off.

If you mean TopCashBack then yes you'd likely struggle and might not get the extra £100 anyway. If you set it up now though it would be ready when you eventually do get a boiler and could be used for free money on a lot of other stuff you buy online,

First time I've had that one Mups. It was my right shoulder the other day. As I said every day a new joy. If I worried about them the doc would have me down as a hypochondriac and I wouldn't be able to get in the front door for bottles and boxes of meds.

Quote from: klondike on November 29, 2025, 11:39:22 AMMy son is hanging on by his teeth til his busts. You should probably do the same but if it does go pop consider BOXT and don't forget the money off - they can probably install a new one before you can get somebody out to look at the bust one - go into the site using my link and if you've registered for TopCashBack (using my link for that of course) use their browser extension to try for that too although that could get declined if you are already getting a discount through my link.
Yes, I think I have decided to hang on until if/when this one gives up,  then I will have to make a decision what to do.  
It's no doubt my brain,  but the BOXT idea does sound very complicated,  I think I would need a bit of help to do that.

Fanny thought now should I scream
Or is this all a wishful dream

She shook her head and blinked again
Was he real, or was she going insane

Quote from: klondike on November 29, 2025, 11:34:03 AMThe bit that was hurting for no obvious reason this morning was my left upper arm.

That is getting considerably better now of its own accord but the upper right has started to twinge a bit. Doubtless both will be OK tomorrow.

Looking forward to life's next mystery tomorrow morning. Remember if nothing twinges in the morning it's likely time for the undertaker if you are anything like me. Those twinges are to let you know you survived the night.

That sounds exactly the same as I get,  only its the right upper arm with me.
  The bone hurts if you press on it,  does yours?  Not the muscle,  its the bone that hurts.

Eventually mine got so bad last winter that eventually I couldn't lift it, or move it backwards,  which made getting dressed/undressed,  getting my t.shirt off  over my head,  and lifting anything almost impossible.

It was finally diagnosed as a Rotator Cuff problem, (look it up),    it sometimes happens in us oldies apparently.
I had a steroid injection into my upper arm done,  and it was brilliant - pain gone and arm movement back to normal.

I think that was around last February,  but unfortunately it's starting again.  The GP referred me to Physio, and she has requested another injection.

I would like to remind all you failures of a military acronym, the 7P's

"Prior Preparation and Planning prevents Piss Poor Performance ...."

You will be judged by your peers on Christmas Day!
