I was looking at new phones today , I've never taken out insurance on my phones but salesman was trying to convince me £3 a month for 7 years was a good deal ......... decided against it. (Although turns out there was nothing much wrong with my original phone once he'd messed around with the settings etc for me. Saved me over £100 early trade in fee after all )
Hubbys been having a smashing time as well , finding out how tough our new car is by reversing full pelt through the garage door a fortnight ago.
. Demolished the door, frame and most things in the garage. The pool table propped behind the door was shoved back smashing the light switch , but that luckily stopped it smashing the gas pipe about a foot further on. Could have gone up with a massive bang, I was in the house with the gas fire pilot light on when it happened!
Never thought about claiming on my insurance for the garage door ,which we ordered the next day , until a zumba mate assumed we'd claimed. Rang insurance a week later not expecting to be able to claim with already ordering one. 2 days later they said they're happy using my own tradesman & they've paid out .
Hubby still in the dog house though , the car didn't come as worse off as the garage but still needs a few dents & paintwork made good . Hoping not more of a job than it looks to me , when the car repair man I've contacted comes to quote

..but are you sure he's ok to drive? With his medical conditions?
I only ask as mine & my neighbours car were written off 2 years ago but my 83year old neighbour who reversed full throttle into both our cars, writing them both off. He was banned from driving due to his medical conditions, and shouldn't have been driving in the first place. Please make sure he's safe to drive...next time it might not be the garage.

He's safe to drive with his heart condition , the cardiologist has Ok'd it and DVLA also sent letter saying he's still allowed to drive .
It's a new automatic car , he's used to driving the old manual .His foot slipped onto the accelerator instead of the brake.
This car has some power , only got to touch the accelerator slightly and it takes off.

Lol, my foot slipped off the accelerator today at the work carpark, it happens very easily, I shot 4 feet forward, thankfully nothing in front of me. Just be careful with his medical history.He's safe to drive with his heart condition , the cardiologist has Ok'd it and DVLA also sent letter saying he's still allowed to drive .

Any pipework need changing or just the radiators themselves? Also did you need a large water cylinder? I'd like to get off gas but fear we'll need to rip out most of the current system, and have nowhere for a hot water tank.

Pretty much all the pipework as it needs to be 28mm. The water cylinder will go in the utility room where the current boiler is. They've been really good so far though, they've taken a panel in the ceiling down rather than the bedroom floor to save it being damaged, which I would imagine some won't do.

One possibility is to have an electric combi boiler installed. Simply replaces the gas boiler, thats it.

Only problem is they're horribly expensive to run, I had a look a while ago. The premise is great, they're usually about 10% more efficient than gas boilers, but electricity is 4x the cost of gas. Even with solar it's no help as you need it most in the winter, and as I can use 100kWh of gas in a bad winters day thats 90kWh of electricity I'd need, so over 3.5x more expensive.
Even heat pumps I'd not touch without the government assistance as you won't save too much, I couldn't justify the cost on my own to not make a saving.
