I'm sure that they are completely wrong for your house lir, but might spark a germ of an idea if there's something similar but more traditional available. Radiators as art:

Or perhaps from the same company, glass radiators that will barely show:

This company has some scrummy looking products. If only I could get storage heaters that look that sexy!

I wondered how these worked, and then it slowly dawned on me that these are electric heaters, not part of the central heating system.

At all stages of my recent events I've described my "caring" as "I do functional caring" .... fed, watered, warm, meds. Tick, tick, tick, tick.

:eek::eek: I can't. Unlike you and Sue, I can't be doing below 20 degrees and preferably about 22. Must be the Scandinavian way with a good heating system. Not sure about the rape and pillaging though. Abba, Roxette and Aha, they have been known to produce a jaunty tune or two... One or more of which may have ended up in my collection:o.

lol, three classics.....Roxette ...rofl, the kind of thing that stops e taling midsentence and singing till the song is finished.


edit: nine in the kitchen.....I KNEW it was a lot milder today!
I'd choose for the house to be warmer than it is now.....haven't checked today and its milder, but the kitchen was 5 most of the weekend. I'm putting off the washing up till its worth putting an electric heater in half an hour before I start....

The first one can be used as part of a hot water fed system, the second one can't. But if you can afford £1300 for a heated mirror for your bathroom, you probably won't worry about the small extra cost of running electric!

I don't have central heating as I said earlier. Having moved from a house with central heating that broke down several times and always in the cold of January, I quite like the fact that the most could happen now is that I have to switch the same device from storage to convection until it gets fixed. Even my Megaflow has a back up element.

Thank you, LIR. I received my Chanukah present last night (a bottle of port), and I gave DW her Anglepoise, which she is really chuffed about. The kids all got chocolate money, which they used to be more thrilled about when little.

Now GDB has helped with the spelling, can I please also wish all the Jewish NPs a happy Chanukah and a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.

I hope that your "functional caring" is not underrated Pastures. It's fair to say they wouldn't have managed without you.

I hope this helps

BTW, it's usually spelled without the vowels.

I had a student preparing a presentation on how the universe ends and after describing the Heat death he brightened up the rather gloomy end of the presentation with the voice of Porky Pig going "That's all folks!" :rotfl:

Lir, are you secretly more Scottish than you've been letting on?
