    I can't believe how mild it still is. Today cloud and rain, but very comfy. :A
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
  • I can't believe the weather either. I don't even wear a jumper indoors during the day, no heating on still. Target extended to 7 November.

    OFF here :) Boiler needs looking at as it's banging, but it's only being used to heat water at the moment, twice a day for half an hour :)

    Cooked lasagna earlier in the oven, and now the place is roasting. Thermals keep me going all day, have rarely needed a blanket recently!

    Still off at the moment, that is absolutely amazing for me, a couple of years ago I would have had the heating on all year round :eek:

    I lost the battle: I turned the CH on this morning as it was 14°C in the house.

    I don't have a thermostat (and can't install one either as I'm in rented accomodation) so I'm constantly looking at the thermometer :D

    I am at home most of the time, working in front of my computer, I must be very careful. :rolleyes:
