Fingers crossed that things become a little less exhausting down your way soon !Mrs Shoestringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632135275029167687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241116499123466951.post-38110868558235594552018-03-04T11:52:07.443-08:002018-03-04T11:52:07.443-08:00Glad you managed to sort the power out.

It certainly tests you when things don't do what they are supposed to and it does make you appreciate the little things.<br />That was a great saving on a possible call out. We like to fix what we can too, although we haven't managed to get round to fixing our heating! <br />We have a multifuel stove and a couple of oil heaters (one of which has just broken) but the heating part of our boiler hasn't worked for ober 4 years. This snowy spell has really been exhausting.<br />I dream of being more self sufficient, but in our part of Cornwall house and land is soooo expensive. In the mean time I can keep a pantry, use the stove for cooking sometimes.<br />I am however really lucky that I can use modern conveniences if I choose to.<br />felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923176455058849585noreply@blogger.com
