I've seen Fire and I've seen Rain
... bought (from eBay of course) only keeps the place above freezing in the night.
The gas heater is brilliant. It has two fan forced outlets, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom plus the heat directly from the heater and, as a bonus, the flue passes through Jeans wardrobe so now she has warm clothes. In fact it could be used as a sauna!
