Fire Starter

This morning I woke up to a house that was 12 degrees-a tad too chilly for a 3 month old. I am known around this house as the "Furnace Nazi" due to the price of oil being insane so we try to use the fireplace as much as possible.

I rather pride myself on my ability to get a fire started quickly but it is hard to do without proper newspaper. All we had were some coloured flyers which suck and didn't work. As I was rooting around the house for some flammable material, I saw two used breast pads on top of the washing machine. I grabbed those and an arm's length of paper towel and had a nice little blaze going in no time.

I might just have to call the breast pad company and inform them of their products many uses.
