Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well and that you are not suffering too much with cold weather we are having, remember keep warm and keep safe.  Well been at my Mum's today, and we had to take down her fire alarm, this was because her fire alarms were put in by the Local Fire Station and so the battery's cannot be replaced.  Anyway it turns out that when my Mum's hallway gets colder the Fire Alarm begins to beep, so with all this cold weather, guess what happened, cheep, cheep!!!  I mean whoever's heard of a Fire Alarm that appreciates heat,  makes it seem to be a contradiction in terms of what a Fire Alarm was actually designed for!!!

Willow Sketchie Challenge - 26th January

Hi Everyone,

Well, the latest instalment in my heating saga, is that British Gas came around and refused to work on it until the heating flue was fixed (well I suppose that's all right, seeing as they had put one circuit board in on Saturday and another one on Monday!!!).   I've spoken to the housing authority, they came around today and have found a leak on the flue, so basically they turned my heating and hot water OFF!!!  Now I have none and the apartment is freezing, until they have worked out who is at fault.  Never rains but it pours!!!
