Great info ref the BTS's. Where do you get the tinned snails from - pet shops etc?? Must have been quite a bite to take so long in healing??

Jules

I buy them online (can`o` snails), they do eat African land snails but I cant bring myself to feed them as they are cute
I dont think the infection was off him and neither did the doctors, I think that got in after the bite

I also have a 10 year old Uromastyx, hes very grumpy lol

I'm gutted!!!

But then again, even twins don't agree on everything, so one thing being different is livable with!

So I could have had a BTS or a crestie if BTS's can live without live creepy crawlies.

I saw a film about a Basenji years ago before any of you were alive and it yodelled and it was gorgeous - I desperately wanted one for about 5 years after that!

dancing on ice the other addictive thing is starting again.........

I danced on ice here this morning while carrying hay to the goats. Ursa partnered me. Well, he and Chalky were charging about like nutters and barged into me and my leggies went 'whizzs whizz whizz' as I struggled to stay upright.

Love it Fenwoman. Yeah I can just see myself with me camoflouge gear on, nipping down the track and filling up my containers, LOL!!!

I was thinking when Alan comes home we'll have to seriously rethink strategies here. Have only heard good things about solid fuel stoves. How easy are these things to convert to??? Anyone know??
Jules

Not sure what you mean by 'convert' to. You simply replace youir current oil boiler with a solid fuel stove. Unless it's a combi boiler and you have no hot water cylinder. You could also leave the current system as it is, and just buy an older solid fuel stove (esse, rayburn, wamsler, stanley etc) and install it in the mitchen if you have a good large kitchen where you spend most of your time in, or get a big woodburner in the lounge if that's where you spend your time. I live pretty much as they did in the olden days so spend most time in my old farmhouse kitchen. My little old 54 year old rayburn does everything as I posted before. I made myself a pulley to hang laudry on and hoist it up to the ceiling above the hot stove where it dried quickly. Of course if you have a small and neat modern kitchen and it's upset you to have laundry hanging in the room for a couple of hours, it wouldn't work. But I figure, from one lot of logs, coal etc, I get dry laundry, warm room, boiling kettles, hot meals etc.I have no tumble dryer and although I do possess an electric kettle, I rarely use it.
My relatives have been frantically calling and messaging on facebook, all worried about me in this weather, but I am in fact less likely to suffer than they are in towns if gas supplies run low as they are talking about.If the electricity went off, my biggest concern would be my tropical fish and the reptiles but I'd just light a fire in the front room, where they are, and keep it stokes up. If their electricity goes off in a town, there is not alternative heating, nor cooking or anything else. I just sit tight, can cook, stay warm, have a hot wash and by the light of my old oil lamp, will sit all cosy and quiet and read a book or do my knitting while they all freeze and stress about not being able to cope without hehe.
BTW, my cousin's aunt is horrified that I shower in an unheated bathroom. It doesn't even bother me one iota.
But if you live rural, deffo look at a solid fuel stove. If not to run your heating, then at least to use as a back up or to supplement heat your home so you use less oil.
