An update: One of the three items I recently highlighted as gone missing from my living space was returned to me. Many thanks (and, seriously, no hard feelings). Two to go!

If anyone can even offer the loan of a small, safe ceramic heater for the upcoming season I'd be so grateful. I cannot afford to replace mine and it simply does not make sense to heat three storeys of living space every time bathing is necessary. My health, my hygiene and I thank you in advance.
