    Still, I've learnt from this experience........going to make sure I have lots of heaters in future, plus extra duvets and some fuel for the fire (didn't have any in as thought we were moving and i'd cleaned and blacked the grate and everything) and hot water bottles. We're so dependent on central heating that we forget we used to get by very well without it......
    That is too true Katie. I can remember as a child the newspapers being rolled up to put into the grate with the turf to start a fire.

      I moved into this house 23 years ago and the central heating was already in a few years ....and it's still the same boiler and heating system ..they were built to last then.....last time we had it serviced the guy said he'd never heard of or seen the boiler before .........it doesn't owe us anything at this stage

                          i'm not bothered, it's a small sofa so much more suited to a little person like myself

                            Once it's cozy that's all that matters

                              Poor dog is not well.....something wrong with it's back leg , he can't stand on it is dragging it along the ground....he was at the vet and he kept him in overnight ...took xray's and can't see anything wrong with it ....he said something might show up on an MRI scan....but that would cost 1500 euro....and if they found anything that needed an operation it would cost another 1,000 euro.....he was given pain killers and Anti-inflammatory tablets.....they cost 200 euro...he has to be kept in a cage and rested for two weeks to see if it gets better
