Haha, i wonder how long before Aussie says they "must leave now, lots to do" 😂

Thunder and lightening here, right now, and crazy mild temps still .... it's been around 18-21C this week and more crazy ones for the coming week .... no heating required !
We're becoming sub tropical here in Somserset.

No far from me maybe.   I’m just on the border between South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. 

No not far - sounds like I'm near to you than I am @Cherryfudge

Ours is still off in Herts, 1960's semi still maintaining indoor temps of 19-23 degrees. However across town my Mum's 1980's bungalow seems really cold and she has had heating on intermittently. Interesting how the different buildings vary so much.

Off here today despite the rain bucketing  down.   Should help top up the reservoirs round here whixh are still unseasonally low.

It was a lovely day yesterday for a stroll along the beach. It is raining here at the moment, but it still says 19 on my thermometer and it feels quite pleasant indoors.

Had the heating on for half an hour the past couple of mornings, and half an hour some nights. Not too cold in the house but I feel the need just to lift the dampness out of the air. I have some lovely big throws and a big long , furry hot water bottle, and if that doesn't satisfy me, I put the log fire on youtube . lol

Its an incredibly pleasant temperature even though it is wet. I have so many coats and scarves and topped up yesterday in anticipation of the cold weather - 147 days of darkness starts in just a week's time - that I plan to wear indoors now. To think I used to raise an eyebrow at aristocrats that used to run around their grand mansions in fur coats because they "couldn't afford to heat them", this was in the days before concern for the environment was well understood. Millions of us are in the same boat now!

Our heating is off because the house is still warm. South facing windows, in the deep southwest and well insulated. But...the dehumidifiers are on for a couple of hours each day. Even with ventilating each morning it feels like waking up whilst camping with everything feeling a bit damp. I've resigned myself to thinking we'll all be a bit more comfortable with running them. Fortunely we can afford the energy cost and I think, because we live in such a damp location that we need to keep the humidity lower than the outside. 

I bleached the bad black mould off the sons bedroom curtains so hoping keeping the house drier will stop it returning
