How much fuel does it use per week ?

Scared of investing in paraffin heater, as garage has ceased to sell paraffin HomeBase bnq garden centres £7 a gallon

Minus 7 overnight, the water bottle next to my bed froze nearly solid.



The old "Is the ice thick enough to support a concrete Badger test"

Minus 1 in the potato bucket, so thats the end of that experiment

 

oh gutted ziggy they were comming on great too :(

 

They'll grow back from the tubers, but i've lost the early advantage now.

 

5Lts will last a week but when it reaches -9 outside it struggles I am lucky there is a old type DIY shop that stocks paraffin for the factories to clean down machinary so only 99p/ltr.
If this freeze does continue all my efforts will be wasted anyway not cost effective to boost the heat to compete with -9 for very long just cover everything in bubble wrap newspaper polystyrene anything you have and pray!

 

You should just work harder, then you won't be cold.:nono:

I have to say that I'm enjoying it. I've even been tempted to bunk off early a couple of times this week, and make my way down to the coast for a nice walk along the seashore at Cuckmere Haven. Sadly I couldn't but I really have enjoyed working out in it with the bright sunshine and sharp fresh air.

 

Chance would be a fine thing at the moment Eddie.

 

Spare a thought for the poor fish.....
