Can't have you getting double pneumonia

Right-o. I now 'fess up. Lit the woodburner finally last eveing before we went out to Quiz night so the house wouldn't be an ice block on our return & am now thinking of lighting the fire in an hour or so before me digits snap & drop off.

Lasted until the 10th May which is an improvement on last year.

Oooo, I'm gonna win!

cold winner! Warm looser? Know which one I want to be

Why don't ya'll pay smoothpay like a couple hundy a month or whatever you think you would use winter and summer and that way you don't feel guilty when you put the heating on. I do and am still over $350 in credit! Mind you, my house is warm when the sun shines and is well insulated. Heat pump on 24deg at the moment as I was feeling cold just now. Undertile heating been on in both bathrooms for ages as well as heated towel rails. Gonna put the lekkie blankie on the bed tomorrow!

I'm not remotely loose


(neither am I cold- warm, insulated, north-facing house)

What do you reckon my chances are at toodays speeling bee?

I like errors and typos that give a post a whole 'nother meaning- so you get top points for your first one

I do Shirl- got $450 credit and rising- and also have 10m3 of wood all stacked and ready ... but once it actually gets cold I like to use the fire 24/7 so am hanging out. Though I confess that this morning I came back from Farmers' Market with a lovely coffee all ready to do chili in the slow cooker and the kitchen felt nippy (south facing) and I decided to put the heat pump on so I can enjoy a week's worth of The Archers, a delicious coffee and cooking a warming chili for supper in the warm. Happy Days. For all NZ's woes, it's a peaceful wee place on a sunny Saturday morning looking out into the garden with the fruit trees and chickens and blue, blue sky. In fact, there's nowhere else like it*.




*Ah, the powers of good coffee!

Why not just put it in a separate bank account and you get to keep the massive interest it will generate, lol. Every penny conts.

Cause when I wanted something I would see how much I had and want to buy said item, no willpower that's my problem!!! This way, I know it is safe and I know that when it is cold I can just put the heating on with no worries at all! And lets face it, interest at the moment is not worth much these days for a couple hundy a month, coffee change probably!

Crikey, that was good coffee, where can I get some?

You have to give it up for weeks and weeks and weeks and then go to the best place you know and it's like the best drug EVER.

Cambridge is perfect for retiring and coffee.

We relented last night. It is now officially winter- the gas fire was on all evening


Wish I liked the taste and smell of coffee, it sounds like it has some amazing effects!

We succumbed last night, I wouldn't have but my husband is soft.
