I think I may have finally got the better of the mice in the kitchen. I might have trapped the last one today. Interestingly enough, even though this happened only a few hours ago, the smell of mice is much less noticeable already. It must have been a very pungent mouse. 'Catering strength' perhaps. The cats have been pretty useless. They catch mice, and then play with them, during which the mouse scuttles off under the furniture and lives to squeak another day. In the past, I've found that once a mouse has been chewed by a cat it tends to expire, but not so these. Either we've got very gentle cats or very tough mice. I've left a trap behind the fridge which seems to be one of their favourite places, just in case any more show up.

Yes, on ours the condensation from inside the fridge drains through a little hole into a tray on top of the motor, where the mouse likes to relax. Thus, the warmth evaporates the mouse pee, a bit like a perfume diffuser. Maybe I should patent the idea and sell it to a company like Glade or Neom. 'The future of home fragrancing just got brighter', as it says on the Neom website.
 
I've just entered my gas and electric meter readings on the Scottish Power website, which I do every month so as to avoid any nasty shocks. We've spent £206 for 33 days. So around £6.24 for both per day over a fairly mild November. Not brilliant, but it's kind of affordable.

That's about what I'd be paying without the solar to assist in the mornings

Hi Dip's well YES & NO.
It gets a "good talking to" every year with its firebox vacuumed out and the heat-exchanger brushed through.
The problem occurred IMMEDIATELY after the recent re-work of the rads with TRV's everywhere and the addition of the filtering unit.
I think it is the filtering unit reducing the flow significantly that is causing the problem, because whereas the heating was largely silent before, now we can hear the "rushing" of water around the system and this noise emanates from the filter unit itself. I may have to remove it and then see if the problem goes away. :)

Morning, feel like death warmed up today... escaped COVID so far and we went to BRUGGES Which resulted in standing in packed airport for 3 hours 1 hour flight 2 hour bus... repeat after 3 days. I was convinced I would have covid from that but left with cold chest infection and losing voice rapidly :(

I dont get it Manchester check in 20 mins.. Belgium check in 5 mins... why ask everyone be there 3 hours early so you force 3 hours worth of folk into the halls and overload everything.
