The chill is in the air. It has been extremely cold in Cheshire this week. We were in Milan over the weekend, and it did not feel half as cold as it does here. It was chilly enough to pop a jacket and maybe a scarf on but it was just moderate chill, nothing like what we have here at all. I even had some sunshine on my birthday. But I have to forget about Milan, and accept the fact that over here in Cheshire, it is freezing!
Whenever I am out, I am always eager to get home to a warm house. I love the fact that our heating system can be set to go on and off at various times. It definitely makes my life a lot easier; I don’t need to run and down the stairs to pop the heating on, and it keeps the house nice and warm for longer because it comes up at times when the warmth is needed.
We have never had a boiler breakdown (touch wood) and I am super grateful for that. It could be because we have our boiler serviced by good heating engineers every year, as recommended. I did skip a year one time though but it was not intentional. Running after 2 toddlers all day can be extremely exhausting, I tend to forget most of the things that need to be done, and that year I forgot to have the boiler serviced. I remember the following year, which was last year, and got it done immediately by a professional heating engineer. So do check to see when next your boiler is due for a service to avoid an annoying boiler breakdown.
Have you had a boiler breakdown before? How did you cope?

Thanks..
It’s so cold today. Thankfully I’ve never had one break down…yet x
Yea it is freezing..
I too, always make sure to have a professional service my heating system every year. It is just too cold to risk having a breakdown and I don’t know how I would cope if I did have one.
Yes it is freezing at the moment.
It is freezing today, it hurt my chest breathing in the cold air. My boiler broke down last year and we spent a week in the freezing cold until our landlord came to fix it!
OMG! A week? Wow.
Its been pretty cold of late and I am glad my boiler got looked over just a few months back and its in shape.
Yea it is freezing.
In my last rented house our boiler broke when it snowed very heavily one new year. All we had for heating was the gas fire in the living room and we had to go to the gym to shower. I’d never been to the gym so much in my life!! We’re in a new house now and the boiler is much more reliable!
Oh wow. Good to know the new house has a more reliable boiler.
When I was renting with friends in third year our boiler broke down and it was a nightmare. It can get unbelievably cold!
OMG! I can imagine.
I had no heating at the start of last semester and although it wasn’t quite as cold as it is now, it was nice! Fortunately I had an electric heater handy!
Oh lucky you.
It really is freezing atm our boiler broke down last year but I’m glad it was during the summer months.
Oh good. A boiler breaking down now woud be horrible.
It is badly freezing here lol
So cold here too..
This has to be the absolute worst time of year for your boiler to break down – I wouldn’t wish it on anybody!
Yea I won’t either..
I love your outfit! I’ve never had the boiler broken but I’ll touch wood because it doesn’t look like a good time for that to happen lol x
Thanking you x
I’ve been lucky that I’ve never had a boiler breakdown before but in all honesty being in a second floor flat I don’t even need my heating on. I am super lucky x
Wow you are lucky..
The last time we had a boiler breakdown it was May. You wouldn’t think it would be so bad but it was a really cold bank holiday weekend. I wouldn’t want that to happen again!
I can imagine. It must have been horrid.
It has been really cold in Nottingham too! I dread our boiler breaking down as I love to come home to a warm house
Lookng forward to spring now. Had enough of the cold now.
Boiler broke down last year in my house. I spent the whole day in bed with layers and layers on waiting for the engineer. Soup and tea were my friends that day.
OMG!
It has definitely been really cold where we are living. We will not had any snow that we have had to use the heating everyday.
No snow here either but very cold.
