Sat 121122 Anglican Windows salesman came to give me quote...

Sat 121122 10:00 AM Anglican Windows salesman visited to give me a quote about getting in a new 'front door replacement' ----- My front door is getting really old...; so, recently, I did an internet search to inquire about getting in a new 'front door replacement'. - First, I contacted a local company called: Premier Windows...who are located in Upper Norwood -(I live in West Norwood)-; they told me to email them over some pictures; their quote was for £2,700.00+. - Next, I contacted Anglican Windows...who are a famous company countrywide to come and give me a quote this morning. The guy took a look, and, said the 'cheapest' deal he could do is...it would cost me £2,400.00 for a composite door...which is PVC/but, looks like wood. He said he would replace the whole entire door frame/plus, door, everything. You must deposit 15%...which is £400.00; and, the rest is to be paid on job completion...lasting anything up to 8 weeks. ----- My own thinking was that the cost of putting in a new door would be somewhere around £250.00/£400.00. Completely forget that idea altogether...; I must have been totally 'dreaming'. As an 'unemployed' person there is no way I can afford to pay 2/3+ grand...?! So, I guess, the 'front door replacement' is just going have to wait until another day. The moral of the story is...when one is 'unemployed' it is very difficult, indeed, to afford maintaining running a full house. My other problem being how to fix the multiple leaks inside of the roof...; so that whenever it rains...I don't have to keep putting down buckets to collect up all of the rain, anymore; and, then, have to keep on 'emptying' these buckets...until when they fill up, again. The boiler/central heating doesn't work...; so, it needs a 'new' boiler replacement. As a result this place is utterly freezing cold in winter time. I have to walk around carrying a hot water bottle...in order to keep warm. (Turning on the electric heater does cost too much...; as the electric company are 'doubling' their prices.) Once more, everything seems to boil down to just not having sufficient funds...???
