IMAGINE NO HEATING BRRRRRRRR

[nannymcflea]

lol, no gas in this village anyway!

If we loose the electric we are stuffed, no cooker, no heating. We'd have to go live in the caravan and put the calor gas heater on!

Calor gas heaters I had forgotten about them

I was teaching mine the rhymne about Jack frost and they couldnt get why the windows would have frost on them.

[quote=Twinkles;607191]I remember getting up and having a wash and getting dressed in front of the gas fire.

I also remember ice on the inside of my bedroom window brrrrrrrr....[/quote]

I was about to post this until I read this

We were the same as many of you, coal fire in living room and a pariffin heater in the hall. No double glazing and drafty doors. Rugs and lino on the floor, nothing like the lino today. Hot water bottles and so many blankets it was too heavy to turn over in bed.

When the council put new windows and central heating we felt ill as the house was too stuffy

I still like a hotwater bottle even in my centrally heated house

This thread has made me laugh. I thought our house was the only freezing one way back then in the 70's

Ice inside the windows, I remember those. I used to put my finger on it to melt a face into the ice.

I sometimes wore more to go to bed than I did in the daytime

DH has said we might get a calor gas heater in case our electric goes again, like today Our house is Victorian with original chilly sash windows. Give me double glazed ones any day!

Oh we had a calor gas heater years and years ago and had to buy the refil bottles

Made me so ill though with a bad chest they made the air so dry

Thank goodness for central heating

NO WAY Angel, he's got a night heater, can't spoil him too much or he won't want to come home

I really can't stand the lecy blanket and don't have it on all week, thinking of getting him a single one for the bed, it's either that or separate beds
I don't even have the quilt on me just the throw, it's just to hot and my leg has to be out, Daz thinks I'm wierd

As long as it wasn't for days i'd just stay in bed Seriously i'd just put layers of clothing on.

I don't have to imagine!!!! as I don't have any My boiler hasn't worked since Monday morning - just about an hour after dh left for 3 weeks away . I have spent hours on the phone to the manufacturers and tried all the things possible I can do myself but no use. I finally managed to beg a call out today and of course the engineer is snowed in! No gas in my village either so we are on oil and dh has the electric heater in his van 200 miles away. Just keeping my fingers crossed they can get to me tomorrow
