Finally have heating

Long story short, my gas wall furnace was a model that was recalled due to having the risk of exploding in a big fireball, melting, and burning down the house. My friendly local gasfitter super kindly helped me find a second hand replacement, and installed it, so I finally have heating!!!! Has been an ongoing process over like six weeks. I'm not used to having gas and it makes the air have a sort of cooked smell to it, which is sort of cosy at the same time. I have been sitting on front of it warming my toes for like half an hour now. Feels soooooo nice.

In other news, have induction for my new job on the morning of the 6th, and in the evening there will be some drinks so everyone who is starting can meet each other. Starting officially on the 12th. And I'm signing my employment contract tomorrow morning. So excited to finally be working again. And the building is only a half hour cycle from my house so I can go back to cycling to work and lose some weight. And my last exam ever is on the 7th at 1pm. Very exciting times! I have been studying on and off for about twelve years now so glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I remember last year having no gas(it's back on now), and I live in a Winter that had avg temp of 0c. :( So yeah, congratz on the new heater, I know the shitty feeling of no heat in the Winter. :D
 
@Viri that sounds awful!!! It hasn't gotten that cold here yet - between around 2-15 degrees each day. You must have had to wear a lot of clothing and use lots of hot water bottles!!
