Snatch

Mum had been reading consumer magazine this week, and this the Goldair Ceramic Tower heater was voted the best out of all the heaters for safety and price.  Best of all mum spied it in a local shop for 40% off.  Where we are has a heat pump heater, but when the temperature drops right down, it struggles to warm up the living area quickly.  Mum read the manual, and they recommend that you use a heater to heat the room up and then the heat pump to maintain the heat.  Mum liked this heater, as with the sale on it made it a reasonable price, and it is small and compact and takes up little space.

When she entered the shop she noticed that there were three left, so she had a little look around as her hairdryer of ten years is falling apart.  Hairdryer picked (they were 50% off), she went back to get her heater.  Only one left, and she could see a man trying to choose between this one and another one.  It looked like he was off to either wander around himself or ask his missus what she thought.  So mum swooped in, and took her bounty to the counter very quickly.   She did feel bad, but glad that she got what she came for.

She tried it out this afternoon and it worked well in our little living area and so we are ready now winter.  Bring it on!!!

  2. Good for your mum, Poppy.

    Of course, our imaginations can't stretch far enough to fathom living in a climate that doesn't require central heating. LOL.

    Well, you'll both be nice and cosy all winter!

  9. Hurrah for your mum! She came for the heater and looked at it first so she shouldn't feel bad. Do you share any type heating with the gent above? He might be siphoning off all the warmth.
