Annoyingly the fan on the boiler is making a noise and that is never good because it should not make any noise really so there’s trouble ahead, and the most annoying thing is I had kept a couple of grand by that I’d earned from my jobs on the side because when we first put the heating on a couple of months ago the fan did make a similar noise but once it had run for a few minutes the noise went away and it had not made a noise since so because it was sat there doing nothing last week I decided to use some of it to tidy up some of the debt we have so that we could focus on the larger debts which was a great idea until today!

So if it broke today I know we would cope and to be fair it would not owe us anything being probably 10 years old and second-hand when we got it the last time we had heating problems when the kids were really small but it would always be better if we could plan to replace the boiler and maybe move it under the stairs in the spring when the Christmas pinch is a distant memory and our wages were steady again but that is just not how life is! I am not worried about it I am even thinking how we could automate \ make the heating smart but unfortunately that might take a little longer if the boiler breaks before the “steadying” occurs!

January is a cold month lets hope the noise goes away [rolls eyes]
