Hi Folks,
Last week we nailed the problem of our older, less well insulated, big picture window bungalows: a bloody big wood burner! ![]() Early days yet but so far we love it, Purevision brand, not the cheapest but a quality item.... Just like an AUDI! Thing is, I noticed I haven't thought quite as much about the A8 for the past few days? ![]() Is there Product Relationship Counselling we can go for? (Me and the car?). "Toasty Rob"

There is something completely spellbinding about fire! The sound, the smell and u can just watch it for hours. Good choice of distraction! Not get outside and clean that car, it's filthy!

Sitting in front of ours as I type. Nothing better than a wood burner! I recommend getting a stove fan that sits on top

![]() Regarding fire being fascinating, SWIMBO says as we haven't hardly switched Virgin TV on since fire went in I won't miss the service being deleted to pay for the luxury wood burner... ![]() Robert

If you want to get "toasty" just start up your S8 and set the temperature to HI!
