    I remember ice on the windows - getting dressed in bed for school - lino floors , they got so cold it made you move quick in winter :D The house was heated by a single coal fire , that had to be lit every morning. Ahhh the good old days !

        Luxury:D

        Same here, the mad dash to get downstairs to the fire. I'm amazed that we never had a pipe burst that I remember.

        I do remember sleeping in the "hammock" where the sheets were tucked into the matress when my Brother pushed me out of the single bed.
