Things have slowed down

I know, it's been a long time since i updated my blog but nothing of interest has really happened!
I've been getting advice on heating & i'm getting conflicting views!!
After much thought, but still no costs in yet i'm pretty sure we are going to go with electric heating but a log burning stove in the lounge would be great for those long cold winter nights. I thought this best if we are trying to let it all year round. I'm not a big fan on the idea of electric heating but this will bring the costs down tremendously. However, electric prices aren't that cheap at the moment!
I'm still waiting for a quote from the plumber (2 weeks now) but i know he has a big job on at the moment!

The picture above is the lounge as it looks now with the 1960's coal fireplace. I am proposing to take this out & replace with a log burning stove, if it's not toooo.. expensive! I could probably sell it on ebay with my other items!!
