    The heading could well apply to Christmas,..however its not,..i had a notebook,..a very small one 9 inches by six which i found very handy to take on my travels,..but it let me down last time i was away,..i lifted it pressing a key top right and another bottom left,..of course the keys locked,..i had no manual with me or could i get on Google,..so off i went and bought a new laptop making the small one obsolete,..i sold it to a friend for 100 euro,..$131.

    The New,..is a Kerona Paraffin Heater for 199 euro,..$262,..it uses 1.25 euro,..less than 2 dollars worth of Paraffin per day,..and no odor of Paraffin,..gives off great heat,..so no more buying logs.

    With weather like ours Philip I think you've made a very wise investment and well worth 199 euro outlay. :smt045

    Sounds like a wise investment. we burn 2 garden carts full of wood a day to heat the house. Lots of work. It warms us twice, once while we do the cutting and splitting and once when we burn it. :rolleyes:

    It is so nice getting new things once in a while! I think the heater was a good investment :)

    Kind of confused me for a minute there :D I think the heater is a wise investment! Sometimes I think I need a little heater under my desk to keep my toes from getting cold :-?

    Having run the new Paraffin heater for a week i must say i am pleased,..using on average $14 dollars worth of Paraffin a week and as i have a small house the heat reaches all areas,..as compared to my wood burning stove that used on average $48 dollars a week,..the secret of not having an odor of Paraffin is to keep the wick free from carbon built up,..just squeeze it off with thumb and fore finger,..but heat at a click is great,..no ashes,..no trying to get a fire started,..i like that,lol.

    It looks as though Molly appreciates the new heater too Philip. Isn't it great when a plan comes together and cuts yours costs into the bargain?
