To me a major point of a fireplace is to be able to burn things you want to get rid of.
Fan heaters suck for that
Roflnui :-)

Shredding is probably more secure. ;-)

Hard News: When the Weather is the News, in reply to Che Tibby,
anyone advised dr haywood to shrink-wrap his windows yet? cheap “double-glazing”.
That stuff seems like a good idea, but in practice I’ve had trouble getting the moisture out of the inside of the window frame and getting the plastic on flat and sealed. And if you’ve got outside air leaking in around the frame you may not make a lot of difference anyway, IMHO.
I have a great wee gadget that scrapes condensation off the inside of the windows and catches it in the handle. Yes, double glazing would be better! But it’s a relatively painless way of removing the moisture.

my Nanna’s 1920s Orion (they didnt have the enamelling, but did heat water via a wetback & a cylinder: their oven was smallish but very efficient; the top-plates
worked well, and it kept the kitchen (the living room in more modern parlance) toasty…chewed through the coal, though…My sister used a coal range very like that as recently as the early 1980s in her place in Dunedin. Heated the water and the kitchen and she kept a steady stream of cooking and baking and preserves issuing from it…very Little House on the Prairie ! I particularly remember the melt-in-the-mouth ginger gems she used to make, instantly yummed up by me and by her kids, who are close to me in age.

Crikey, Paula Bennett can’t even get her facts and figures straight.
unemployment for 18 – 24 year olds is actually 0.6 percent higher today than it was in 2009, although it’s down on last year.
Sounds like a totally made-up crisis either way….

Raining now, and the beautiful pristine snow now has acne scars....

Crikey, here in Chch the snow could get worse.
Ian: with 3 cats, it should be easy to keep warm, right?? Except for the contrary ways of cats. Hope you get to see your Mum soon. And feel better. I was miserably sick yesterday, but much better today. Don’t know if I can handle another few days of being stuck inside and at home, though!

Also, if someone can make the RZHHA a Facebook page, we could all “like” it. The media loves causes with FB groups!
