The wind has changed, its icy , and it tipped it down most of the afternoon making it feel even colder

Can't say we are anywhere near close to putting the heating on. We still don't have the 4.5 tog duvet in the cover yet, though we have talked about doing it soon. Though due to the wetter weather we have the dehumidifier on now, which does chuck out a bit of heat but the air was getting damp feeling so was needed.
I'm very thankful it isn't too hot anymore. It is much nicer right now.I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy1 -
I've slept under an empty duvet cover all summer but it's chillier so the last few days I've put a wool blanket over the top.
I think the duvet will go on at the weekend. Only 4.5 Tog as I get too hot for anything else.
Heating still off.

Thanks to whoever said about viscose/modal. I didn't know it was warmer/better in clothing/tights.

So where are the warm areas? We're currently on the south coast. And where are the cold areas?
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
