    Better to keep DH at home Reddie: getting himself killed will just cost you again in funeral expenses! ;)

    In all seriousness, take care of yourselves. I can't believe how far the bottom has fallen out of the themometer for you all. :(

    Sorry that the snow has created such havoc for you guys - we have been very lucky in comparison. I still can't believe how early in the season this has all happened!

    Funeral expenses - yes - insurance - yes!

    Today we are at a toasting -4 but like HWG we are to get to a tropical +5 on Thursday so hopefully a thaw too!

    Guys that work for us came in today and said they need to leave before it gets dark as the roads were really bad, if they can get in, I can get out but they said it was horrendous and they wouldn't let their wives drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Work of course is piling up as I sit here and that is getting to me but what can I do?

    Heating - now thermostat broke, maybe thats why we used so much oil (still not convinced) so we have it coming on and off continuely, that must cost a fortune in oil...............anyone know the most cost effective way to use oil fired CH?

    Sexism or chivalry? I've yet to decide, but I think it depends on which side of zero degrees celcius you are! :p
