Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.

I always forget how bad it gets, as it's quite nice during spring, summer and even autumn is ok. Even sitting here like I am with two pairs of socks on, a tshirt and two jumpers, I still can't get warm:rolleyes:
Wood and coal cost us a fortune, so I really REALLY want to move before next year. Plus everything is falling to bits - there's damp everywhere and the window lintels are crumbling upstairs, but the landlords won't do anything about it...typical eh?
OMG I SOOO know where you're coming from!
Our house is also freezimg and damp! Every outside wall has damp and mould spots on! The windows and window sills are covered in mildew!
The house was built in 1938 and the landlord bought it then and has rented it out ever since - but does NO work on it! he put double-glazing in the back of the house about 6 years ago and promised to put it in the front of the house a year later! he finally did it last year! But there are huge cracks under the window sills letting in damp and draughts and spiders! Yuck!
There seem to be so many laws for landlords allowing them to demand this or that - but nothing for a tenant to demand warmth or even security sometimes!
My house is still cold - even with the cheap double-glazing. My daughters bedroom is painted pink and lilac, but the mould remover has removed some of the colour so she has blue streaks all over her wall and around the window! The bathroom ceiling is always mouldy and disgusting, doesn't matter how often you clean it!
I also really REALLY want to move before next year! Blooming landlords! Huh!

Oh I really feel for you guys and I hope you get your wish of a move before next winter.
It's really cold in my rented flat as well. It's not damp though. There is Night storage heating that keeps the temperature above 'freezing' but it's cold at night. I wear extra jumpers and a fleece jacket to bed + a hot water bottle .
At the weekend, I had 2 extra heaters going but one blew a fuse......cannot wait to move where there is Gas Central heating.
Big warm :yh_hugs hugs coming your way ...

I'd want to do things properly this time though, sorting out work permits etc, as last time I moved country I got deported for working illegally while my d1ck of a boss was supposed to be arranging a permit for me!
Yeah, and I have a job for you, too! What does the Hubby do? I could probably hook him up too, but YOU'RE a done deal! Soon as you're ready, drop me a note. I need 1 day's notice. :-6

Bezzie, I've got an idea for you, too. Next summer when Bullet comes home we are moving to Georgia. (We'll have to buy a big enough house for Pinkster and hubby, ) but you're in too!! We'll have some decent sized property so all can join us!! :yh_bigsmi

Well about three weeks ago I finished installing "The Beast." It's output is in the region of 14kw. We leave all the downstairs doors open and it warms the whole house. (large 3 bed victorian detached) It's the best thing we have ever done.
Wood is free, providing you have a 4wd and a chainsaw, and know where the trees grow.....:wah:
And, yes. It will fry an egg. See the pic.

Oh we have fog alright, you can hardly see next door, let alone trying to look down the road. I feel really sorry for anyone who is out driving in this, especially on country roads, must be a real nightmare!! Doesn't seem like it is going to go away anytime soon either.

In that case the fog must be heading over our neck of the woods, because the forecast is fog over the next 24 hours at least. Group hug sounds good though!!

Wow now that takes guts, don't think you would find many people doing that for Christmas! Is this on your own, or with family?

Rub it in some more why don't you!! :p I can't remember the last time I saw the sun, I hope he comes back soon, seeing grey skies every morning is getting sad.

We were going to have 40 degrees for Christmas Day, of our degrees I mean... way over the century. But the forecast now say mid seventies.. Perfect.
And we can play cricket.
If we just had some rain, and no bushfires .......................

Hugh's pic makes me fancy fried egg on toast..in fact that's what I'm going to have for dinner seeing as only I'm here at the mo.
Thanks for the warm hugs Bezzy, and Rapz, it's crazy how we put up with this stuff really isn't it? No chance of us getting double glazing!
Oh I know where you're all coming from! I moved into my own place in the summer - brand new, just built - and the heating is sooo good, I've been really impressed I can control the temperature in the sitting room or my bedroom, it's brill, but before that lived in a rented studio flat, and the storage heating was not effective - I had to buy a separate oil radiator and huddle next to that! I hope you all get some heat soon - they're saying we're in for a really cold snap - minus 12!!!!!

Same for me....rented flat....nice but cold. Storage heaters just don't seem to 'cut it' specially in the evening. When I go to bed I have to wear a fleece jacket.
The flat I'm hoping to buy is not so nice but has gas central heating and felt cosy when I went to view.
Minus 12 !!!! scary thought !

Have you noticed all the recent advertizing for New zealand? I had a kiwi girl in the salon just before xmas over visiting her grandma & she was telling me that she just bought a 2 bedroom house in the south island for 10,000
Given that small business premises would cost about the same its worth looking at hun :-6

Oh it is! Now combine that with a kotatsu, a table with an electric heater attached underneath,
And you can withstand the worst winters.
