It's starting to get cold at nights here in the Eastern Suburbs of Melnourne. Not cold mind, it just appears that way as we have acclimatised..when I get up on one day last week I was so cold I almost cut myself shaving and had to double my press up allocation. Soon solved it with a cup of tea, and a walk out in to the sun......(!) you bask outside, then freeze and have to put on a jacket when you come INSIDE!!

Now my heater in the lounge room seems to have packed up, or I can't work it out, one of the two but nonetheless I want to buy another one, for the bedroom, which can then be moved to the loungeroom, as MrsB is arrving in 2 weeks.

Good Guys is the place.

Oil filled radiator vs
Convector Heater

Both are 100 bucks. Both are rated for 2000-2400w. Some have low settings and are 800w odd.

There is one which is sooper dooper - 300 odd dollars - 75pc of a day's pay! I'm told that the more money I pay out on the heater the less power it will consume; or at least it will produce more bang for the buck (and thus need to be left on for less time)

Also I plan to get a timeswitch so I can have it come on 15mins before I get out of bed. If it hasn't already got one of course.

Any comments?
