I'd love to but funds won't allow just now. I do have plug in radiators if needed and the open fire, although the open fire is expensive to feed!Rosa_Damascena said:Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!

I went out for a long walk today and I just couldn’t believe how mild it is for this time of year with no wind either. No heating here and if things carry on like this, it is just pjs and heated throw in the evenings.Current debt approximately 5000

Where I am it's meant to be highs of 16C on Friday, it's certainly too warm for heating, next week's also set to be quite warm too, if we can avoid the rain it'll be lovely. Just a pity it gets dark so early though, I'm back to leaving work in the dark again.ET22 said:I went out for a long walk today and I just couldn’t believe how mild it is for this time of year with no wind either.

If things carry on as they are I think I'll be able to get away with wearing shorts for at least another fortnight.3 -

Not sure if you are all aware of this brilliant thread, Preparing For Winter?
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5122360/preparing-for-winter-v/p696
It's all about winter preps inc ways to stay warm and cosy. It's my favourite OS thread!
Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!
