Time to put the central heating on, and of course it's not working. Looking up our Range Powermax boiler online gives all sorts of warnings about carbon monoxide so it's time to get a carbon monoxide monitor, so do I get one of these1? I might have to splash out on a new boiler anyway, so what's another hundred quid...
I have got my one I built last year, but that's only in the dining room at the moment. No-one's really going to have any confidence in my DIY skills at the moment with our new flickering lights in the dining room and hallway... I have gone for super energy saving 4W dimmable LEDs, and 95% of the time they are great... but combined with our lightwaverf dimmers they don't play so nicely that other 5% of the time and they flicker, and you have to turn them off again, bah. Got to go back to more "normal" 28W bulbs using 7x the energy.
