    @MikeyPGT - Friday came without any weather drama. Who can be trusted?
    Trust me - in a contrary way.

    As it has got warmer when I have said it looked like getting colder, I shall continue to say it will get colder until I am actually proved correct.

    Just confirming that two days after I last said it would get colder, I'm still sitting with a hot water bottle and no fire and I'm not even wearing extra clothing (today's outfit is a midweight jumper, not a thick one).  But it must be getting colder tomorrow.

    We have set the heating to come on tomorrow
    morning and by looks of the temps this next week we will also have to have an hour at lunch and one in the evening.  

    Only have it on that much when temps are so close to freezing. In bed I have a heated underblanket and wear a bed hat and wrist warmers
