It's Snowing

SingleSue

Cold and dry here in East Anglia/Essex border (the border is halfway across the river and I live about 2 miles from it!)...and I have put my heating on for the first time on timer for the first time since Feb this year!

Sunny and wonderful today in Kent. The Generalissimos and I walked up to the town after lunch and loafed around the cricket ground for a while before going for a much deserved hot chocolate.

on topic - a bitterly cold winter will see a sharp rise in probate sales applying even further downward pressure on house prices.


*ahem* I'm a bad man I know, poor taste jokes and all that... but it's true

I know, I know - we will probably be buying a probate place, and in our turn we will be a probate sale!

on topic - the last thing we need is a cold winter, pushing up energy usage will take even more money out of peoples' pockets and reduce the chance of any price reductions - indeed if it is a cold winter all over Europe and with Russia suffering financial meltdown are we certain there will be enough gas to go around?

Indeed. My husband and I have resolved to leave the heating off til Nov 1st, but tonight is really testing my resolve. I'm curled up on the couch with a blanket right now. To us leaving the heating off is a bit of a game, but for those who can't actually afford to turn it on it must be a nightmare.

Gracie, I am one of those who really cannot afford to switch it on but I have cut into my food budget (which is not large anyway!) to top up the gas so it can be switched on.

I can stand the cold, I just snuggle under a quilt in the front room but youngest is not very well at the moment and really needs a decently heated (but not overheated) house to aid his recovery, so it is a no brainer to me...I can go without food for a day or so to ensure he gets the heat needed.
