    I have put my heating on for the first time on timer for the first time since Feb this year!

    We've put ours on too, and I've done the deeply boring job of sticking the autumn and summer duvets together <shiver>

    on topic - a bitterly cold winter will see a sharp rise in probate sales applying even further downward pressure on house prices.

    it used to be said the other way round - "green winter, fat churchyard"

    Dh gets up early and we both hate to get up into a cold house - so we have it on from 5.30 - 6.30. Does the trick.

    Brought most of my tender perennial plants into the greenhouse, but I don't usually do that until mid-November. Unfortunately, one of them has turned into a tree, so it will die when the harder frosts arrive. It's a Paraserianthes lophantha, which is basically like a eight-foot sensitive plant, but it doesn't droop when you poke it. As it seeded, I'll grow another.

    Down here in Bath, we had thunder and hail. The greenhouse heater only kicks-in when it goes below zero C, but as I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint, I'll try to use fleece & manage without.

    To stay on topic, there are no houses for sale in my road. However, I'm still open to offers....

    I've just done that the lazy way and put the duvet from the guest room on our bed. I'll have to fix it soon though, as my in-laws are here next week and won't appreciate being left with just the sheets.
