    I put a pot of veg oil in the cupboard, it is MY fault that DH has just lifted the pot out of the cupboard and split contents!

    Now then what do you expect, it was two jobs move pot and dont spill it. Remember one thing at a time :rotfl:
    Wrap up warm and stay in out of the weather no point risking it if you dont have to.

    You are right HWG, how foolish of me to think he can move and think at the same time!!!!

    Bloody freezing, and now road is closed so don't think we will be seeing boiler repair man tonight! Oh well living room is warm and we have an electric blanket so we are fortunate. Worry about the old people - not good for them

    Glad Mr Kay was a hoot, and sorry that your heating broke again. (Beware the cold, that's how you end up with BabyPickles! ;))

    Take care and watch out for the roads: they sound treacherous. x

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
  • Hiya, just saw your thread and the bit about oil fired heating freezing. We have been in the same house for 9 years and our oil heating freezes in really low temperatures. We have had various things done to the system over the years but nothing has sorted it. We have come to accept it now and have to leave the heating on permanently if the temperatures gets down below -3. Boiler repair man says this is sensible and it would cost more to properly sort it out (if this is possible) than the oil we use.

    Normally this is OK because it rarely gets that cold but we have had really silly temperatures here for the last 10 days - temperatures didnt get above -8 yesterday. We have not managed this very well and have now run out of oil. With oil costing about 80p a litre this is a really worry, just glad temperatures are supposed to rise over the weekend!

    Heating fixed and I will NOT turn it off again. DH managed to fix it, so we sat for 18 hours with no heat for nothing!! But it is fixed.

    YL - we haven't had temp above -3 for days now either. Just said on news it could go to -15!

    How do they cope in Siberia?

    Vodka and bearskins. And their houses are probably built with more heat-saving included, but the first two I definitely know to be correct as I knew two girls from there once.
