I always have the house as warm as I can. ...Hi BB<br /><br />I always have the house as warm as I can. But equally don't have it on for the sake of it. But if I am cold then on it goes. OH has the other problem he gets too warm. Just wish could open the fires up it would really make the house warm. The gas boiler is pretty efficient but I am always conscious that if we have power strikes or whatever we are stuck when it comes to heating. By choice I have never been one to put all my eggs in one basket and have always made sure there are always a couple of options for keeping the house warm. Heating and keeping warm is not negotiable. It is something that has to be done.<br /><br />Glad to hear you are getting stocked up just in case. Even though we have not been badly affected compared to the rest of the country by the weather the rivers are level with the banks. They stop the water at Northampton and then when there is flooding up country it is released and makes its way downstream. Just out of Peterborough the water becomes tidal on Whittlesey wash there is quite a big flood plain for the Nene but part of the original flood plain they have built on because for years it did not flood. Big mistake.<br /><br />Glad to hear you are taking precautions and stocking up. Think its safest place being on a hill these days. Take care and enjoy your crafting.<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-84517600042933060392016-01-11T12:28:11.313+00:002016-01-11T12:28:11.313+00:00Hi Dawn I have had Raynauds since I was about 23....Hi Dawn I have had Raynauds since I was about 23. It has progressively got worse over the past 2 years in particular. My friend at work also has it. I was bought a secret santa at Christmas a pair of thinsulate padded fleece gloves with a battery in to keep my hands warm. The gloves are brilliant on their own and thus far have kept my hands very warm without using the battery. I also have a pair of Thinsulate fleece lined woollen gloves that are also brilliant. I bought my purple ones from Go Outdoors. Both sets of gloves are pretty effective. With my feet I have thick socks on at all times with boots(I wear trousers for the most part to work on a practical basis). Hope you do not feel overwhelmed by your trip into Swansea. That's one of the things I do not like about living in town although for the best part I am pretty lucky where I am. Its just when people have parties and become unsociable then I wish was in the countryside in my own patch miles from anywhere. Hope your trip goes well.<br /><br />PattypanPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-90259646056805487162016-01-11T11:10:39.872+00:002016-01-11T11:10:39.872+00:00Sorry you aren't able to craft.

I am doing lots of housework this morning so I can get my machine down this afternoon and so some quilting.<br /><br />I have to say, if you suffer from Raynauds and your house is freezing, heating is a necessity of life and I hope you can afford to have it on a little longer to help your condition. <br /><br />A fair amount of emergency supplies here, just for the average winter, but we have doubled up on cat tins and biscuits and will get in a few extra things for ourselves that we might run out of if we can't get down (or up) our hill . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-26849846970655918072016-01-11T08:32:15.928+00:002016-01-11T08:32:15.928+00:00My daughter has Raynards she as some gloves that h...My daughter has Raynards she as some gloves that have a pocket to put a little heat pad in, her feet also suffer, I have to go into swansea today not looking forward to it, havent been into a big town for almost a year.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
