Um. My ducted heating just died. I think it's the fan part of it.
This is not a good night for it. Do you have backup heating options?
Not really. Will resurrect the emergency doona as a wrap. Hot water bottle deployed already.

Bugger. Do you have an oodie by chance?
Yes, fortunately. And ugg boots. So thankful.
Can you hit up Kmart for a little electric heater or electric throw to hold you while it's fixed? (when shops open)
If anybody anticipates needing one from Kmart over winter, get in quick! Last year I discovered the hard way that Kmart don't sell heaters past the first month of winter. Had to buy one that was identical to the $20 Kmart one from big W for $60 😑
They don't? That's messed up :/
Oh no! And even worse tomorrow’s the weekend so might not get trades until next week. Do you have a split system aircon? They can heat as well. Hopefully you can find ways to stay warm until it’s fixed.
Have found a tradie to come on Wednesday. Not a chance over the weekend apparently. Also, the nice person at the call centre said that they'd had more than 50 calls since 5 pm today for similar problems. Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh.
