Dh just came in saying it's cold it's not Encouraged by inlaws he's put the gas fire on. AIBU to leave them to it because the gas fire is making me feel sick?

I love gas fires, so I think YABU.

I've not actually seen a gas fire for years. We have an electric thing with aspirations. It tries hard, but it's not the same.

What? Lots of people have a gas fire. It's not a "bad thing". Unless it's leaking? Does it smell or something?

When was the last time you had it checked? It shouldn't make you feel sick. You can't smell carbon monoxide by the way.

They make me feel sick too. No one said it was the carbon monoxide.

...and quite frankly, people saying 'it shouldn't make you feel sick' is starting to piss me right off. It's the 3rd or 4th time this week someone has said 'it shouldn't make you feel sick' (about different things)... well it bloody does OK. Grrrr.

Do you not have central heating? Why didn't he put that on instead if you do? I dislike gas fires, something in them makes me feel iffy. Wood burners do too, i feel all heady cold and sneezy, but only if certain wood is used.

Yes it was checked recently. The central heating may have to go on I think!
