Thats what I have too, an electricity monitor with a temperature display. Its in the kitchen, which is why I only report the kitchen temperature. It is interesting though how the house varies in temperature throughout.

I've moved mine to my son's room & it's 2 degrees colder there than in the front room.

Outside temp right now is 5.8c brrrrrrrrrrrrr! -NE Scotland

Heating cannot go on as it's horrid stupid electric storage heaters that we cannot afford to run fella is off to buy a Halogen heater and I am considering buying an old fashioned free standing eletric fire, I don't care if it looks retro and awful, I want to be warm! Thick curtains have been put up at the window in lounge this afternoon.

I am sitting wrapped in an eiderdown, wearing thick tights, thick socks, jeans, vest top, dress and 2 cardigans and a hat!

ETA just checked the met office and tomorrow will struggle to get above 3c and on Friday we are due 14c?! that seems a bit out to me pmsl!!

Mine is excellent, got it from Lidls for £5.99 it tells you the temperature inside, and through a small battery powered transmitter it tells you the temperature outside, as well as recording the maximum and minimums.

It also has a radio controlled clock which is correct to GMT.

The offer seems to come around a couple of times a year.

Well our max today has been 5.4 deg:eek: - I'm bloomin' freezing and off for a bath in a minute to thaw out my poor feet which have been like blocks of ice all day (have on 1 pair thin wool socks, 1 pair slipper socks & 1 pair thick wool socks but they're still cold) and I'm not allowed to use a HW bottle on them just now .... I'm supposed to be using ice-packs to reduce the swelling ....:eek:

The heating is on as the house got down to 10 deg:eek: and I can't move around / do housework etc (great one Linda32, that's what I normally do to warm up;)) so at least it's starting to warm up a bit now.

Hope it does get back up to 14 deg by the end of the week....:)

Am in the same boat about not moving about to keep warm as am off work with a bad back. You don't realise how cold you get just being lying down or sitting do you?

Think you musn't be too far from me? am in Moray

We have a portable gas fire for the kitchen. I know a bottle of gas is a bit dear but we don't have it on all the time, and at least we pay for it as we go along - failry takes the chill off fast.

Btw, i'm in the NE Scotland too and even though it might've said 5.8C it definitely doesn't feel that warm! :eek: It's baltic!

My daughter told me today that my nose was running. It was just so cold I never felt it.
