I have a log burner in my cottage and am now addicted to logs,i go out in my jeep and collect any old logs laying around the park etc.
Ive now made a log horse which for me is amazing as im not a diy man,music is my thing.ive got a chainsaw and axes.i just enjoy chopping them and splitting them for the burner!
does anyone else share my obsession? as i think im slightly mad haha!!

sure is!!Yes you are very right,my gas bill is tiny,i do have central heating but am so frugal i dont use it much at all,once the burner is going it heats the cottage up very nicely!!
Well I wouldn't say it's my al consuming hobby but we had a good logstacking sesh the other day to get ready for next winter (mind you the weather today you would never guess we are in summer!).
We don't have central heating, our only form of heating is the woodburner but it passed the time. Got another 10 tonnes of wood in the paddock that needs splitting...ah well happy days! ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

logsWell, we do not have gas. We have a log/coal stove in the lounge in an inglenook and in my kitchen I have a Rayburn which is fuelled by coal. I cook with coal, heat water and run radiators off it too.
We have replaced all the bulbs in the house with energy saving (which cost a fortune) but worth it. We have been lucky over the last few years because friends have phoned to say that they are felling trees and did we want the logs. I don't like anything too modern. I think collecting logs is just so wonderful. Keep it up.

Glad you are feeling better and on the way to a full recovery!
Its hard this life sometimes, we get all sorts thrown at us, good for you flushing the pills, sometimes these are not always the answer to your problems! Keep posative, and enjoy the fishing etc

ThankyouBless ya,thanks....i was'nt after the sympathy vote by the way,just find it helps to share our lifes little problems.

It Always helps to talk with others!
Knowing your not alone, there is plenty more in the same situation, and at times it gets you down! This time of year never helps either, and with the way things are at the moment job wise etc, its hard to feel posative about things! Just knowing that there are others like you (wont help your situation i know), but at least by talking about it to others it helps that Bottle up situation! I hope that the new year brings you health and a new job, i'm sure it will!
Stace PS Its drizzle here today Bev xx
