Hmm odd, I lost 1kg (2.2 pounds) in just a few days. Maybe I am burning lots of calories trying to keep warm LOL. I have some good news!

The builders arrived yesterday and spent the day ripping down the old chimney - what a lot of bricks! I feel better knowing that we don't have that weight of bricks above us in the lounge. They finish it off today and then we wait for the tiler and then the installer. It is amazing how cold the house can get when you have a gaping hole in the ceiling LOL.

On worse news - we got this info today in the news...

Like we need the extra stress LOL. Oh well, what happens happens, nothing we can do to stop the earth doing what it wants. Just gotta keep alert and prepared at all times....

Thanks Bren! I was surprised as I have had a lot of salty broth drinks the last few days to keep warm LOL.

Way to go! It's so hard to be good in the midst of so much chaos. So extra gold stars for you this week.

Thanks FlyingTangent! I am always good, don't see any need to be naughty LOL. I like this WOE so I find it easy to stick with apart from sometimes getting bored with the food.... but I never feel the need to cheat thankfully.

At least you won't have an old chimney falling on you if there are more quakes! I sure do hope they can get the new one up and functioning for you quickly. And congratulations on the weight loss, too!

Oh Squiggs I am so excited for you!! In 1998 we had a fire on Valentine's Day. It was about 15 degrees, and man was it cold. It started in the garage and went across the attic. It did a lot of damage, especially the water and we had no ceilings in the living room. We moved the thermostat for the heat down stairs to the finished basement, which meant that the upstairs was not heated. We ended up hanging heavy blankets from the ceilings to close off the open area. I do indeed remember just how cold it does get with a gaping hole in the ceiling. :) Hugs, love, and lots of prayers coming your way! I am so happy that you are going to have heat soon!!!! Love ya, sis!

Wow Stef that fire sounds scary! I am glad you guys were okay! Thanks and hugs and love back! The wall has been gibbed and the ceiling too so the heat no longer shoots up there so hoping tonight will be a lot warmer. The tiler did his bit today mostly apart from finishing it off tomorrow morning. Not sure when the installers will arrive. The hearth is huge!!! LOL

The earth seems to be crazy over there. Glad the chimney is down. That is a load of your mind as well as your house I bet. When does it get warmer there? Stay well.
