    Goodness me you lightweights - I haven't even cracked open the jumper drawer yet! Here in the east midlands it's lovely and warm, if a little windy! (mind you this is from the girl who got frostbite last year without realising...)

    No heating in York either although there does appear to be a hurricane blowing outside! Thought I was coming off my bike on the way back from my Body Combat class this morning it was that windy!!

    Also the no heating is because we don't actually have central heating or any type of heating!!

    Yes - storage heaters here too. Not so easy when you can't just pop it on for an hour to take the chill off, is it! One thing I have found is that having a few candles lit does help generate a surprising amount of heat - sounds daft, but works!

    Hmm, can i confess to having the gas fire on- but only on low :o I haven't put CH on. Surely that counts for something! :rotfl:

    And the problem with storage is OH comes home in the morning, moans its hot and leaves the back door open! Then in the evening, its frezzing!

    I like using candles too :D

  • Hey F_F
    I totally agree about how cold it has gotten. I've been freezing as well!! Changed my duvet covers yesterday, so fished the winter duvet out :o
    Mum and dad haven't put the heating on yet but I always feel the cold so the duvet is out and the flannel jammies are out for lounging around the house, although I am not cold enough yet to put the electric blanket on the bed yet!! :eek:

    Hope you have had a good weekend

    Morning Palema!

    Currently sporting different jammies (Pink with sheep on them!) knee socks, t-shirt and Mr Fresian's jumper from yesterday (Fleece-lined) It's bloody baltic here...the heating nearly went on this morning but I'm going to try and tough it out.

    It doesn't help that we don't have a catflap and I have to open the front door in the morning to let the kittehs go exploring...!

    Having become a recent Farmville addict, I did no comping yesterday and now have a total of 104 to enter from the last two days, plus the email ones (I don't have time to do email comps before work so save them up and do them at the weekend) I have a large mug of coffee and the will to win!! I will be buying some fairly cheap Xmas presents unless my comping comes in!
