Evening Mrs B

'shifts ovee n pinches a marshmalow'

your heatings working now I hope!

Ello Darlin'

Yeah, working fine now ta, thank goodness. I'm all central heating and no fire too...got a big hole in my wall where a fire should be though.

There was a fireplace herewhen I first moved in, but it took up so much of the wall and as it was all brick (right along the wall like a ledge) n not properly finished was a bit dangerous with a babe crawling about so i had the council knock it out. Id love a big ole fire, or at least an extra couple of radiators in the living room! its right under the window so all the heat escapes

Just realised I missed Wilma a few posts ago! sorry Wilma mustve simulposted you

I'm in a little bit on the kent/surrey/south london borders on the top of a hill..it gets so cold and sometimes we even end up cut off from the nearest town (croydon) for days when it snows! I dont know when the locals started calling it little siberia (the names new addington) but its been a good few years I gather.

evening all


I use to live just outside stow-on-the-wold and it gets really cold up there, you just can't go with out a fire in the fire place

RJR

but now we have a condencer boiler/cooker combined which is on all the time summer/winter cost about £80 a quarter and two fires one in the lounge (so middle class then) and one in the bed room/dressing room/bath room (so upper class there)

Ecchh, Addington shouldn't be that cold!? Mind you, it's not exactly warm in saaaf london neeeva!

It gets 'really' cold Wilma something to do with being high up I think.

I'm the same, Serephina; I had to spend an hour in front of the heater after popping out for Horlicks, hot choc and Caffreys. I'm on the verge of hibernating here...

I had to get under the duvet for a couple of hours this afternoon n i think i'll be in bed again soon! all this cold makes me sleepy...

I went and played blinkin five a side football in it at 6pm, not the wisest thing I could have done, eh? Hence the need for the heater...

Been pretty chilli here too.... went to newsagents for cigarettes and cigars at about 1.30, should have put my jacket on t'was a little on teh cold side weearing just my short sleeved shirt and jeans

Just been outside for the all exciting turning on of Rickmansworth's christmas lights.

It was bloody freezing even with a hotdog and hot chocolate inside me

So what was the turning of the lights like? exciting? I wetn to the post office today... to pick up the rucksack I lost in London and had sent to me from the TFL lost propery place... the post office made no attempt to diliver it yesterday so I had to go collect it then I went to boots and bought lots of relaly exciteing things

where I am its so cold too, wish i was at home in front of the fire with me familly and me dog's (GOD BLESS'UM)
