Carrie, we have had more snow than we had for years - and we get a lot of it every winter ! I had to dig the cat out AGAIN, he was stuck in his box mewin his head off with a wall of snow blocking him in lol ! The forecast today says "light snow showers near the coasts".....well we are well inland and we had constant heavy snow since I got up at half 8 !! It's a goo djob I like snow eh...:)

No snow here in west country just rain.Got heat on very low and blanket over legs it's not to bad at all at the moment. Going to get colder ,hope i will still be able to keep heat off during day and low at night .Money is tight OH lost his job and is doing agency work at a quarter of normal money so really need to save where i can.Have been really pleased with how i have managed to reduce heat so far, it should make a differance to the bills :T

You need to be careful, or you'll end up with flu, bronchitis or chest infections. Too cold isnt good for anybody..

Thanks

I know sometimes it has to go on, like when we had snow

but now its 0-2 , it really has to go off again, I would love to have it on but £165 a month isnt something I can afford:eek:! risk of chest infections or not!

Our heating has been on from 5am to 9pm every day for the last 3 weeks. Temperature at the moment is -3 and it's heavy snow!

When is it going to get milder in the North-East Scotland?

There's been about two inches this evening. Stopped for the minute, but the sky is quite white.
