I envied my sister who has gas central heating as I have oil (no gas in village)

A month ago I had my oil tank topped up which cost me £550 and will last me a year in my little house. I relieved but just praying the boiler doesn't break down at £5,000 for replacement!

I can’t afford to use my gas boiler, I have one oil filled electric Radiator to keep the chill off the house when really cold and electric blankets (2p per hour) or hot water bottles.

Before we moved, we’re we lived had no gas in village.

We now have gas.

Plus a new boiler.

We will get through at least 3 tons of oil a year.

But that's the perils of living in a rural bungalow in Ireland.

This year we will concentrate on burning more wood in our large stove as fuel is free

I do like having my oil tank. One payment and its done for the year. Wasn't fun paying winter prices in the middle of August though.
