Wink Brigie on the Prairie

It's that time of year again when I must put aside my leather pumps and don my wellies.

It feels like I'm in Walnut Grove and Ma and Pa will be waiting by the fireplace for me to bring in the wood.

Wish I could get a picture of this... anyone else have a wood burning stove.? It's a labour of love... just to make it 90 degrees in your house, when you spent all summer trying to make it cold.

I'm not cut out for this.... I'll pay anything, but can someone please go to the wood pile for me today... There's spiders on the logs!

I can't I'm afraid they'll run up me leg! I inspect every log carefully before I pick it up and toss it in the wagon... but they are very tricky and the minute I get in the house there's one on the floor.

They even climb out the stove too. (last mad 8 legged dash for life) -- I don't kill anything uneccessarliy. But they make it hard for me!

Ewwwwwww! :scared:

I was on the Piss too? (ummm are we talking about Friday night?)

Rob, that's just like mine... but ours is on the hearth of the fireplace. When it was snowing last winter I was in my knickers with all the windows open it got so hot.

We have ours in the basement and also have an open fire in the Living Room. We have the gym next door to the stove room so its good for rapid weight loss if your using weights or running !!!!

Rob

PS: Last winter I wasnt in my Knickers with all the windows open, the snow was over our windows !!!

If you were married to me you'd have been sent ouside to clear them. I made Todd go on the roof so I could watch Joe Millionaire.

He switched us back to cable this year so he wont have to do that again (and because East Enders isn't on BBCA anymore)

Then again... if you were in my knickers.... you'd look pretty funny.

Probably his wife would ask me where he was burried in the backyard.

If we keep going on about my knickers I'll have to take them off!
