		<title>Fiddes Wax on; fiddes wax off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The furniture wax I&#8217;ve been using. £7 for a 500ml tin. It&#8217;s a natural wonder!

This wax has been an utter revelation to us! We were browsing round Wells Reclamation Yard (I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve gathered by now that we spend a fair bit of time there!) when we saw someone waxing one of their new bookshelves. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chim-chim-e-ney cher-oo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is about the trials and tribulations of sorting out a chimney for use of a rayburn.

This has been a frustrating step in the process of getting the heating sorted. I don&#8217;t mind spending money when I know what I&#8217;m getting is worth it. Here&#8217;s the situation (which I have relayed to many chimney [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buying a Rayburn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s ordered! We&#8217;re getting it! I can&#8217;t believe it!!

I&#8217;m getting this blog in now, even though I can&#8217;t give a review on it yet, because the price is going up near the end of March by quite a bit, so if you&#8217;re planning on buying a Rayburn, this may be of some use to you.
I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re getting central heating!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have (just about) survived two of the coldest winters in our new old house, and we can&#8217;t do another one. This is a blog about all the choices we had when deciding which heating option to go for &#8211; mostly ec0-friendly ones.

There have been a few incidents in the house lately which have led [...]]]></description>

		<title>The kitchen work surface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have finally replaced the picnic table!! Well, it had to be done before Christmas, but I am glad that table (bought at an expensive camping shop in the New Forest last year) has really had its money&#8217;s worth now!

Last summer we paid the farmers across the way £20 to use their machines to drop [...]]]></description>

		<title>The staircase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once a homage to 1970s style; now an attractive piece of carpentry to keep us warm!

Last winter we froze. Ok, we are still freezing, but the living room is a vast improvement. It was a priority before this winter to get heating in. We couldn&#8217;t afford it, but we could (just about) afford for someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing up the den in the cellar and review of Crown Shimmer &amp; shine paint.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We struggled with naming this room &#8211; it used to be the cinema room because that&#8217;s where we have the projector and screen set up, but that sounded far too grand for a room about 9&#8242; by 7&#8242;! So now it&#8217;s the den. Again, my daughter wanted to watch films in there with her friends, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ haven&#8217;t done a book review for ages, so I&#8217;ll start the new year with A Wedding In December by Anita Shreve.

I&#8217;ve recently joined a book club and our first meeting brought us all with pretty similar opinions about the book.  I&#8217;ll get straight to the point and say that I won&#8217;t be recommending it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing up the cellar and games room + review of Focus paint.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just can&#8217;t seem to start one thing and finish it. I left the kitchen alone for a couple of weeks and focussed on the rooms in the cellar. My eldest daughter wanted to use it for her birthday party, and I welcomed the change of scenery.

The cellar had previously been rented as a separate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Knocking down another wall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two days after the plane landed in England, I&#8217;m to be found ignoring the suitcases in the middle of the living room floor (the weather was too wet to dry the washing anyway), sledge hammer in hand and bashing down a couple of walls at the top of the cellar stairs. I do have a [...]]]></description>
