OIL

No I havent struck it I have run out of it. And Im freezing. I cannot believe the price. It might last me 2 months or maybe 4 months and its cost £485. Up by nearly £200 since January (when I last got some oil). If you see me wearing about 4 jumpers you know why. Unfortunately when we run out of oil we then have to get somebody to clean the boiler and restart it. What a pain.

I am sitting in the warmest part of the house - the office. Its quite small and seems to contain the heat. Maybe we will all move into here today!!

I have tried to put some pictures on the blog but dont seem able to do this. Far beyond my capability whereas techno is concerned. I dont seem to get on too well with anything powered by electricity (or charged by electricity). I do have a friend that is normally willing to help me out with these sort of things but after my last attemp with a mobile phone I dont know if she will be quite so willing!

Nathan went round to his mate Euan's house on Monday as it was his birthday. He had a wonderful time and I had to tear him away from Alvin and the Chipmonks, (no I dont want to borrow this DVD!!) so hopefully Euan will tell him how it ends. Previously I had received a phone call from Scary to come over and see her stash. Must admit I was expecting a shopful but I think she was too busy (well she still got enough). Very jealous she has got loads of Tilda stamps and this great little contraption where you put all your ribbon, (if it works - only time will tell).

Managed to get to Jordy's last game of the season. Lovely and warm and occasionally sunny. Unfortunately they still lost 8-2. Never mind - cricket season now!

Gotta go now. Tea has got cold and I have to move around as my hands are getting cold.

Speak soon.
