Daily Mail today ran a similar story to the one in the EXpress on Monday. Until I sat and thought about it I didn't realise how dependent we were on electricity. Boiler, fire, oven and hob, phone and all the appliances. When we first moved here almost seven years ago we had regular power cuts and we're not out in the country. We survived, but if they ever return I plan to make life a little bit more bearable. Panic buying here we come.

P.S. Got new shower in yesterday. Far superior to previous 7kw, but how do you guys cope with that 10mm all the time? 10mm had previously been run in from CU to shower switch, that was bad enough. Needed a short length from swithch to shower that I got from a local shed. It must have been an odd-ball as it was slightly bigger than the existing. Was tempted to snip a couple of the cores to make it more manageable but I got there in the end.

Difficult to work with but has to be done sometimes, no tight bends etc
