Our heating won't be coming on today.... I noticed yesterday the temp display was blank.... New batteries needed!! (Not that it would be needed yet, but I'm glad they ran out now rather than in a couple of months time!) I've still got the bedroom window open and we've not had the wood burner on yet (getting the chimney swept on Tuesday).

I've not even worn gloves or my buff on the bike yet in the morning though I think it's getting close... I'm carrying them in my pannier!

Once my heating goes on properly it will come on about 15 minutes before i get up and stay on for an hour and then it comes on at the usual time i come home in the evening for about 3 hours. Luckily i live in a new house and the insulation is very good so the house holds the heat for some time.

If the weather is really bad, as in snow on the ground then the heating stays on at a lower temperature all day.

Got to ensure that the cats are warm

I miss my real fires and my wood burner

We'd be lost without one now.

I do keep looking around my sitting room thinking where could i put a woodburner.

Perhaps i need to get one of the local companies out to have a look.

Go for it. I know several people who have had them installed and it's been 100% satisfaction. One was particularly clever and got one that she can use to heat a kettle / pan of soup.

Morning.

I feel a trip to Tori & Ben's Farm coming on.

I love ours!! And want to put in another one if we ever do our extension!

I have a hangover. It's Mr R's fault for insisting I buy this last weekend:

Yep, that would do it.

I have had 3 previous wood burners and 6 real fires - you cannot beat them.

You've got it. Jacobs lamb and Longhorn beef is the best.

Unless you have a chimney it's very expensive, a fella I used to work for installed one in his new house and the external 'flue' cost several thousand pounds (and that was a 'trade' price)

We do that occasionally with ours. Mr Hop also managed to melt a whole load of candles for me (he didn't bother to move them ).
