A bit chilly here

Apart from the bathroom and the occasional open fire, we don't intend putting the heating on until 1st November, only jumpers and thicker duvets.

 

@Scrungee 1st of November that's last even by my standards
We don't switch ours on usually till October. Mainly the reason being there's no need for it to be on it the house, yes it maybe cold outside but inside its around 16'c.
The missus would have it on all the time, but the money we save goes on a holiday some where warm in winter.
Besides that when we lived at her mothers for a few years they had they heating on constantly in winter and it me it's not good for your health.

 

I've given in twice this week and flicked it on for an hour or two. Saturday night it fell to 6° around here and I was cold all Sunday despite being wrapped in a heavy jumper so about teatime I gave in. Our house is usually warm but last night my wife was complaining about being cold despite being wrapped up which is unusual. I don't think it's the fact that it's so cold but more because of the sudden drop in temperature.

Maybe it's old age setting in early but I'm really feeling the cold these days. Maybe because both me and my dad have low blood pressure and are built like stick insects which doesn't help. Last year I invested in some thermals. Might have to break them out today before I go out.

 

What principal is that??

 

We've lit a fire most days this past week (log burner) and last night I relented and got my hot water bottle in bed to keep the old feet warm! The electric blanket won't come out until at least October...

 

Should be nice & dry as well by now

 

I lived in the South for over 30 years, it wasn't hot and balmy then!!!

 

Just had all the doors & windows open, 20c outside 18c inside.

 

Ziggy,
are you sure it's 20c outside . Where are you? Espagne? Cloud cuckoo land?

 

Yep, went out for a cigarette & it was warmer outside, so I took the thermometer out, a humid 20c

 

Well I got me thermal thong on now, and i'm cooking a curry as we speak ( hot butter chicken with chapatti and poppadoms dontcha know!) it's 8 deg c here now, so have to have a cuddle tonight an awl!
