I could honestly not sleep with heating on actually when I am in bed. I freeze in the day but sweat in bed. (my age maybe but have done it for years now). I know what you mean but ours just does not come on cause it must not be cold enough. Our heating is set at 21 i think???

My OH is like you, but I'm always cold...in fact my hands are freezing right now and I hate being cold! The thermometer in the hall says it is 23 degrees celsius in here right now, there must be something wrong with me

Busbyh, you are a mum and me too and I could never imagine actually being apart from my kids for so long. I have had my moments with my son but most of that has been cause of outside family infuences. I think she feels better without me in her life TBH. My sis lives with her and my sis has a son and they don't like anyone interfering with their lives really. I must admit there are times when I am completely lost but I have my kids and my hubby so have to go on.

Mine have been on, its so cold.......:eek:, it was on the therm at just over "20", my youngest does not feel the cold, he starts complaining when the heatings on, can't win.
I have a lovely cosy tiger print dressing gown though and have that on now

Yes , I agree,I either see or speak to my girls on a daily basis and I do the school run for my 2 grandchildren. My eldest granson is 15 on Monday. My eldest daughter and grandson lived with us for 3 years, from when he was born, as things didn't work out with her relationship. I loved it, but understandably she wanted her independance and thankfully she has done quite well for herself and son. We are all very close and as you say I could not imagine what it would be like to be seperated from any of them.
Outside influences can be a bind and cause lots of problems.
You may be wrong about her not wanting you in her life, she could be pining just as much as you, to rekindle the relationship. I think it's a case the longer it goes the harder it is to get back on track, so to speak.
Thankfully you do have your kids and husband, but maybe one day, it would be nice although difficult to get together again, just occasionally even, and let things happen at their own pace.

We'll get shot for posting on our PICTURE site won't we:D

I thought I was doing good by doing this but we have a condensation and now a damp prob :rolleyes:so really it does not help. If your house is in good condition its fine but otherwise you can actually be making yourself more money in the long run I was told last week by this damp specialist. I will have to get this sorted and then back to blankets but must admit our heating is set to come on automatic at certain times if the temp dips below a certain level but its not come on yet so it must be warm enough for now.

Yes I see what you mean by the damp problem. We had cavity wall insulation a couple of months ago so wonder how that is going to effect the temperature in here.

Have a small wood burner so try and use that in the winter as much as I can I like the warmth but find central heating makes my sinuses bad.:o
