    Actually,I wondered if it kicked out enough warmth to keep the G-house above freezing. It has a smaller wick than the heater and would cost less.....Not that I'm parsimonious or anything :D

    Its a word that should come back into fashion, all that banging on about waste and global warming.

    Hope my greenouse turns out as well as yours.

    odd but to look at the word I don't recognise it, but spoken it is familiar.

    Martin is just the same, everything has to be re used and money only has one use and that is to make more money!

    Oh shouldn't complain he has just bought the greenhouse for �£1,972 this afternoon!

    We went to a friends who was chucking out loads of secondary glazing and he was going to build it out of that, but I think the job overwhelmed him - so I got what I wanted - oh - even though I through his dinner at him last night and broke the oven glass door - any tips on repair welcome.
