Reids Rains - joke
Reeds Reins estate agents are pure rubbish for us. I put an offer on a property last week (valued at £79,950) which was quite desirable location for me but needs remedial work, reconfigured from oil to gas and it's a repossession so I was willing to pay just under the asking price at £75k. They called me the next day to go…

Wood burners and multi fuel stoves
I'm in the process of buying a stove. My first thought was multi burner, I suppose because I could burn solid fuel as well as wood However the more I looked into it the more I began to think that a wood burner on its own could be a serious option if only because I wanted it for the aesthetic as well as for heating Now most…
