Also a while ago my social worker from last year put me on to the Salvation Army for firewood for next winter. They deliver a big trailer full for free :) It arrived and it was a joint effort between the young man whom delivered it and my boys and I to gwt it unloaded and into the wood shed.
I told B14 that his uncle would be impressed by the way he was helping. I think the threat of being banished to his room in the winter was enough to get him out there helping us :)

What a blessing to have all that wood!
It's amazing how creative parents can be when they need to motivate their children! - Good on you :) x0x
That's a lot of fire wood. Will that get you the through the whole winter?
Loved how you got him motivated to help. ;)
I'm glad you have your wood ready for the winter - it seems odd that you are PREPARING for it when here we are in the MIDDLE of it. An impressive amount of washing, too. Let us know how you get on with the ironing!! LOL
I've cut and stacked a lot of wood in my lifetime. We grew up cutting and hauling all our stove wood. We used it for heat all the time I was growing up at home, and occasionally cooked on our wood stove, especially when the power was out due to storms. You'll be glad for all that hard work when you need the wood this Winter.
Good job with the laundry! I only have one load to do sometime in the next few days. I'm glad mine is caught up, and I know you're happy yours is done too.
Happy weekend, Jen. :o)
Love and hugs,
Diane
How awesome - my parents organised some wood to be dropped off to us yesterday - free!!
