    Hi everyone! It's lovely to hear from you @Marydoll5 - sorry the progress is slow & plodding, but progress nonetheless. I find if I try to achieve at least one thing a day it makes me feel that bit better. I'm struggling a bit as part of my right hand became swollen on Friday; it's definitely improving, tho I'm still typing with my right ring finger & left hand!

    Had a boiler service today & the man said he'd been wishing for snow. Well, we had a few sleet showers whilst he was here! He found out my boiler was 18 years old, so doing remarkably well, but it wasn't going to be worthwhile to replace some of the parts that weren't so good, & would be better to replace it before it possibly conks out. Hoping it lasts through this winter; will have to save like mad, & hopefully replace before next winter.

    Hope everyone's keeping as well as can be, & also warm.

    Hi @chiarieds sorry your hand is swollen, hope it's gets better swiftly, look into grants for boilers, on gov energy schemes. Might be worth looking into.

    Hi @Sandy_123 - & thank you. Sadly there are no grants available for LPG boilers, just for those that have a mains gas supply. Was told a new boiler + fitting costs would possibly be £3 - £4k….yikes! I'd be lost without heating in the winter as the cold really affects my joints; something which many will identify with.

    Good morning everyone

    @Sandy_123 good luck for the new addition to the family

    Thank you for your kind words @chiarieds means a lot

    I think lots of hot drinks and layers are needed today. I have a blanket my mum crocheted for me before she passed and its comforting in many ways.
