Heating is brilliant on this thing. We will leave it on low overnight.joedenise said:Hope your heating works well! Have you got hot water bottles for when you go to bed - wouldn't be without ours when we go away in winter!
They test these things down to -20 so I don't think -6 should bother it.
Hopefully!1 -
Glad you made it, have a good weekend .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1

Definitely not a no spends day today. We are out with friends for a catch up so I expect it will be quite spendy.
We were toasty warm last night. Not got up yet to see how cold it is outside!
Breakfast is a bacon and egg sandwich but we need to go and get some bread first. I forgot to bring it!
We are eating out later at our favourite restaurant in Lincoln. A dog friendly smoke house.
We are getting up for a coffee in a minute. Then we will take the dog for a walk and hunt for bread .

Glad I'm not the only one who forgets to take basics like bread! Very difficult to have a sandwich without it, LOL!

We had a brilliant day yesterday catching up with friends. The dog is now shattered. I don't expect he will be much trouble today. He was so excited to see everyone yesterday.
We have no rush to get off today, the parking is paid up until this evening. So we will go for a good walk this morning.
It won't be a no spends day today. We need to go and fill up the LPG cylinders while our local station has got gas. I expect we have used a fair amount of gas this weekend with the cold weather.
Breakfast will be a bacon egg sandwich and dinner later is roast pork and all the trimmings.
A quiet day ahead I think for today. Back to work tomorrow.1 -
Sounds like a lovely weekend 👍 it’s surprising how warm the vans are….think ours is warmer than in the house 👍January spends - £587.581

We hadn't used as much gas as expected but we still filled up the bottles while our local lpg station had some in stock. They have been very hit and miss with availability recently and often sell out with no fixed date for getting a delivery.
As expected the dog has gone straight to bed now we are home. He is snoring away.

Not a no spends day today. We have filled the car up with diesel and I need to go to the shops tonight.
Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is cheese and cold meats.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
