@Region Philbis,
Don't have any central heating heating or hot water in my new house until Thursday. Currently in Southampton, driving back tomorrow, hopefully the much predicted 'cold snap' will come after then.

The cold isn't too bad when you're working, stripping wallpaper etc. but once you stop it's bloody freezing.

@Region Philbis,
I have a couple of fan, and a bar heater.

The boiler is fine, but the flue is too close to the ground.

The gas engineer turned it off before Christmas.

It's taken bloody ages to get this far.

It's only two more nights after I drive up tomorrow.

@izzythepush,
The plumber has just left.

We have hot water and central heating.

We got here Tuesday and haven't had a proper wash since then.

@Region Philbis,
We lucked out as well. Hard to measure the snow depth as it got blown all over the place. Didn't lose power, that was the biggest concern.
