        Good morning and a happy new year to you all. Very cold here, white rooftops and frost on the grass. Awake for an hour in the night, so I’m going to snuggle down and shut my eyes for a bit longer!

              Thank you so much @Loofah for starting the new thread. I got a message from @JWK to say you had beaten him to it when I asked about starting one! :smile: Happy New Year to you and yours.
              Anyone who has already seen my earlier post at the end of YYWW2025 apologies as I will enter it again here.
              Thank you 2025 Welcome 2026.jpg
              It was raining when I first got up but is dry and breezy now with a little glimmer of (dare I say it?) sunshine. I was almost brought back to full consciousness at 00:03 when a firework went off but I soon descended into oblivion and heard no more. Respect to all the folk who managed to stay awake to see in 2026. I just couldn't manage that anymore.

                        Good morning and Happy New Year to all of you. We watched the London fireworks in bed on Cedric's phone. He had forgotten to plug the TV into the Internet when we had fibre installed months ago.

                        We only stayed up because when we were just about to go to bed an old girl friend of Cedric's rang from Denmark and talked for ages. He said he couldn't stop her. Afraid I felt a bit miffed.

                        Hard frost here.

                          Happy New Year everybody.

                          Not a brilliant start for us I'm afraid, woke up with no heating or hot water! Rang Worcester who told us we should have a special key clipped under the boiler, no, so they'll send us one on Saturday. Then I rang the installer and left a message for him. Ho hum, we'll be ok, we have two small heaters, one hot water bottle and I've dug out my thermal underwear so at the moment we're toasty.

                          We've just walked down to the shops in the sunshine for exercise, a lovely atmosphere with lots of dog walkers and everybody exchanging New Year greetings.

                          Think I'd be miffed @Busy-Lizzie but perhaps the poor woman was lonely? Odd time to phone.

                            Oh dear, @lizzie27, not what you need on a chilly New Year's Day - or anytime. I hope you get it working again.

                              That’s horrid, @lizzie27. Hope you can get someone out at the earliest possible opportunity.
                              Weirdly, OH woke up in the night and found the living room tv had switched itself on. Then when we woke up later in the night, OH went to make us a cup of tea and found the tv was on again. Not aware that it has ever done that before. I wonder if it was doing some sort of end of the year reboot or updating some software?
                              Very quiet out at the moment, and a couple of degrees warmer than it has been earlier in the week. Having a lazy day, tidying up some of the presents, and stowing the chocolate in the bottom drawer. Just eating it because it is there now, but in a couple of weeks, we will really fancy some, and will be glad we hadn’t pigged it all.

                                Oh boy, have we got egg on our faces! Our neighbour across the road came back earlier and as he's a gas engineer and has helped us out before, I nipped across to ask him if he had a spare key. for the boiler. He came across to look at the boiler anyway, looked at the displayed fault number (which wasn't on the list in the manual) and said straight away," your batteries in the hall thermostat need changing"! That had not occurred to us at all - changed the batteries and we now have heat and hot water - Phew! We feel so embarrassed.

                                Feel so relieved as we've got a forecast of -6 tonight and snow tomorrow.
