  • I wish, know of no-one with woodburners locally, even asked our client who sells woodburners if they know of someone that would be interested but no. It does not help that most of it is chipboard. Put the word out before I even started on the spare rooms but no-one interested :(

    What about a short day listing on ebay or freecycle?

    Just sickly again but more positive this time I think. Last time I think I was dreading what was going to happen next were as now I am less apprehensive.
    Were as last time I thought I'd dipped because of my anti sickness drugs running out the nurse said she thought it was coincidental and it would have been because my steroids came to an end. I've only got one more lot of this type to have and then I change onto a nine weekly dose and if it works who cares:j

    Might try bunging it on freecycle for the weekend, never have bonfires over the weekend anyway :)
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Good morning all, it's a tad wet out there.

    It is driving me mad, OH decided that the woodwork we have ended up with from the spare rooms can be cut up and burned by "us". I have done all the cutting up, apart from a bit of MDF which is rather difficult to cut. I am now trying to fit in the burning bit. There is a LOT of wood, all sitting on the patio and now wet but that is not the problem. Every day this week (apart from Tuesday which I needed) he has needed my help on job for the morning. He couldn't manage to arrange two jobs that he needed me for in one day, always the mornings. "We" need all day to burn this wood, or at least a good part of it. It might burn fast, it might not. We got home on Monday at lunch time and he thought there was plenty of time between getting home and making dinner for "us" to burn it all. He has no idea, and he might help me for a few minutes but then something will occur that means he can no longer help. He needs my help this morning and tomorrow morning, these two jobs could possibly be fitted in to today but he does not want to do it that way :mad: I am hoping I might manage to do it next week, but I need a day when people are not going to have the washing on the line but it is not raining too badly. OH would have piles of stuff everywhere if I didn't fend it off, a patio full does not disturb him, but I hate it and am desperate to get rid of it :(



    It is rather ridiculous, on the continent you can't drink the water full stop, and a lot of those people complaining probably buy bottled water anyway :mad: I am not in the area, but I know a lot of the people locally buy water and I have never quite been able to understand why.

    Another thing that annoyed me, a few years back the EU said our water was not up to standard! The only place in the EU where I have ever thought you can safely drink the tap water and they criticise the standards of our water :mad:
    Word of warning about MDF. It should not be used burning, especially in a wood burner as it contains toxic chemicals.
