    Well here's weird. Having set the pump running from a separate cable, summat else has gone wonky. Before, the room stat would control the heating, as per normal, but now it's as if the boiler is no longer getting a signal, so I had to go and turn the boiler off. The system has gone from...

    In other news.... After flipping around with the CH system, it would appear that the feed for the pump has gone AWOL. Lord knows why. So it is now running on a jury rig which is working out fine. Just have to unplug it when we go to bed and the heating goes off. Reverse this in the a.m. Pipes no...

    Hain't got one unless we drive for 35 mins to get one off dottir. W was convinced we had poison but she can't find any. (Which of course meant I had to look for it as if anything disappears it is always my fault.)

    Mine is an old model now, a "professional 520" I think without going and getting it out of the Landrover. Have a look on their website.

    Well I raked around the area where he seemed to have run off to. No luck, and there was a heap of old leaves, bits of old trellis etc where he could have gone. All under overtgrown laurel bushes big weeds and other stuff in a part of the garden we no longer use. (Thankfully slabbed so will be...

    CH started playing up yessdi so simply switched it off. Done a bit more digging and changed the pump-overu-stat. Made no diff. Checked at the pump, no mains to it. Flipping heck! :mad::mad::mad: I will have to carry on digging but at least I could wire a mains lead into the pump and switch the...

    Depending where you are in SW France, I have a neighbour with a Nanocom who seems very willing to lend it. Already unlocked for Disco TD5, or, as @sierrafery says a Foxwell will do it, and I speak from experience as mine did my 3 amigos problems.

    One of our cockers would think it was a toy and risk getting bit, tother is too thick to do much at all!! W isn't at all keen on any of our dogs getting hurt. Cockers are basically too soft for battle. ;)

    If you use bags, it's a good idea to put a straw in the corner, and when you zip, or otherwise close them up, move it tight up to the straw then suck the air out then close it quickly once the straw is taken out. It cuts down on the icing up. Write the date and the contents on it first, with a...

    You can do that with most dishes like that. We do it all the time. Curries, stews, etc, even rice and pasta "one pot" dishes. W tends to always over cater for us. You can reheat them from frozen but it is better if you do it your way. One tub will not take 10 mins heating though. more like 6...

    Whittle, surely? But yes, think how many peeps have rejected others, like those who turned down the Beatles or JK Rowling. The bouncing of the bomb along the water was quite a good start, but making it spin backwards,designing it so it exploded at the right depth etc, was hugely important too.

    Lunch wiv dottir was nice. We nearly had it in the garden but it was too windy, and the chicken would have got cold. (And possibly flown off! 🤣 🤣 ) Served with a really lovely Pouilly Fuissé, too rich for our money usually. 😋😋😋 Our CH is playing up again. Pump not getting a proper signal. so...

    Disco 2 Why is so much heat coming on the drivers side from the console?

    Well it means it won't work, don't switch it on until you are sure it IS gassed. Why the heck did he not get it done? Any proof he's telling the troof?
