   I lit the fire today it was so cold in Palmy. I have also made DH plug the electric blanket in and turn them on. I HATE the cold.

   Wimp? HA! it's freezing here. I must be a wimp too them cos we are all ruggedup, the heater has been on (turn it off once kids in bed) they went to bed in winter jammies, and i have just gotten out all of their winter clothes and sorted through them this arvo.
 Not a wimp - last week it got so darn hot again, and now, stupid weather, just turned so quickly.

   I put the big fire on, I did have the gas heater on but thought what the hell DH has just finished putting all the wood in the shed why not use it.
Electric blanket will have to go turn mine on now......

   It was so nice when I got up at 5am to feed Josh. I turned the fire back up and it was so warm. Once he went back to bed I put more wood on it and turned it down again.

   I lit the fire yesterday afternoon... and kept an eye on it through the night (every time I got up to one of the kids I checked the fire too) and it hasn't gone out yet... mmm, toasty warm! The lounge has been between 27 and 30 degrees since I lit the fire - as compared to the 7 to 16 degrees outside!

   We watched LOST in bed last night, then I sent hubbie into the freezing lounge to watch Prison Break.  I wore Jeans to work today for the first time in I don't know how long... I hate the wind, and these old villas just don't keep the warmth in    Need to get firewood very soon!!!
