hugs of support to you! :hug:

try to keep the water running ... even at a very slow drip... in the faucets. It will prevent the pipes from freezing up on you and causing a bigger $$ problem down the line (trust me...I learned my lesson on this one BIG TIME a few years back).

Is there a space heater in the house?

If the oven is electric, you can keep it running with the door open (attended, of course) and put a fan on the floor nearby. It will warm things up for you (but raise the electric bill as well...a toss off for you to think of).

Load up the fur/scale babies in the car and take a tosty warm drive as a last resort.

and the diesel oil works well...we have gotten through many pinches that way!

good luck...keep us up to date on how things are progressing. Hope your parents are ok. I would make your brother sleep outdoors for a few nights so that he knows what you have suffered :evilgrin:
