We have wood

Not cold enough for a fire yet, but good to know we have a very full woodstore

We've got the heating on for an hour, morning and evening, now Jan. In the morning it heats the bathrooms ( gotta love a heated towel rail ) and it takes the chill off in the evenings

Same here. The overnight temps are getting down to 4 °C so the mornings need the heating on and then again once the sun goes down - draw the curtains and put the heating on for about an hour.

I would love to re-do our shower room and if I'm ever allowed, then a heated towel rail is top of my list

We couldn't fit one in the en-suite, space is a little tight.

But I've been over to the wood store a couple of times, just to open the door and smell that lovely wood A mixture of oak, pine and something else we're not sure of. Probably fruit tree. And it's so dry The wood we got from Heldar last year was still green and enormous. Jorge cuts his up a lot smaller.

Sigh I really need a new non stick frying pan my omelette tonight was like scrambled egg
If brought cheap ones dear ones and they don't stay non stick for long
They end up in the garden as mini bird baths
Any advice ???

Jan, Mick took the radiator out of our en suite and replaced it with a small towel rail - because it's a very small space it heats up in there nicely. The rail in the main bathroom is twice the size

I don't trust non-stick with eggs, so always use oil or Frylite x

We don't have radiators Kaz

There is just about enough room for one, but I was told no, it was too difficult to get the wiring there

[saundra]

Kaz use spray stuff in frying pan or lard will try new frying pan when I get one

Just realized I know how to cook an omlette what I need is do you buy a cheap frying pan from Tesco or a dear one from Harrods ???

We have given in and lit our first fire of the winter Only because it was so cold and gloomy today. So much for 22C and sunshine

The week-end is looking good though
