Well we might as well just accept it, we live in Scotland, it is currently December, soon it will be January & February, it was always going to snow at some point, so why the panic. In my humble opinion when it snows and you can't do anything about getting anywhere then you just have to get on with whatever you can do.

And above all you might as well enjoy yourself, if you don't might end up taking things too seriously, after all it isn't too bad and there is never any other time when you can go out sledging is there? And when you get back from your winter activities you should be returning to a snug house as long as you have good central heating.

But beware any sudden snap in the weather because these are the things that can just suddenly tip you central heating installation over the edge, especially if it has not been in use recently. So before you do go out and enjoy your winter wonderland. Have a quick check of your boiler.

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:56:00 -0700 Scotland still awaiting news of boiler scrappage scheme http://scottishpower.posterous.com/scotland-still-awaiting-news-of-boiler-scrapp http://scottishpower.posterous.com/scotland-still-awaiting-news-of-boiler-scrapp

We first posted about the lack of a boiler scappage scheme for Scotland way back in January. Since then we have had an announcement from John Swinney that £2m was being put aside for 2010-11 for a scheme in Scotland (is that really enough money??). The scottish scheme forms a part of the Energy Efficiency Action Plan for Scotland, the details of which are to be unveiled in late spring (after the UK election we would guess), it would seem that we are not going to have any real concrete details on the Scottish Boiler Scrappage Scheme until then. In the meantime many of the major energy companies are already offering their own variants of the scheme. The english scheme has been a great success and was closed last month after all 125,000 vouchers were allocated.
