Stovies?


You got Scottish heritage?? (Is that grammatical?)


I didn't succumb to the central heating, I came home to find it had kicked in in my absence :(

Yes, Stella just wasn't the same really .....


Hmmm. Remembered this morning that a real fire in the evening means having to rake out the spent coals and ashes the next day.


May not be a "next time" for a while, then :))


I was so spoiled when I lived in a house with a container under the fireplace to collect all the ash, which just had to be lifted out and emptied every so often....

    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
