Hi Chirpy - what's the temp down there?

Just interested if it's as bloomin' cold everywhere as it is down the east coast.....

well i dont want any mocking because i know us people south of london are a bit wimpy when it comes to the cold :rotfl: but it is 5 degrees here currently!

Currently 14.5C inside, and 3.5 outside, with no heating on. I can't turn it on anyway as it's not being fitted until 7th November.

Wouldn't dream of it!;)

That's chilly ........ just taken the bins out and it's down to 2.6 deg (thermometer at the back door so a bit sheltered) and probably a bit colder in the field at the back.

Think we may have a frost tonight!:(

(might just go and put the timer on the heating so it's not toooooooo cold when I get up - haven't done this yet as was hoping I'd be able to put it off again tomorrow)

In my kitchen in Wiltshire it is now 9 degrees. It will be warmer in bed because the electric blanket will go on, and the dogs are warmer as their room has a low ceiling and is south facing. I won't make the dogs go cold, whatever happens.

Its colder here tonight but I'm warm and snug with a fleece and my PJs on.
As I've said before I realy dread putting the heating on as I find it a very uncomfortable heat.
I much prefer layering as it makes me more comfortable.

EEEK! Its ON!!!:eek:

Its 1 degree outside and baltic, i was actually looking at the indoor temp as it changed to 12 and decided to put it on.

Air was in the system and its taken almost 3 hours for all the rads to get fully hot and now its reached 19 indoors so i`ve turned it right down.

The thermostat is old and the settings don`t reflect the temp at all so i shall find the right setting over the next few days and then leave it to click on and off as it pleases.

Little old doggie looks a lot happier now, he has a heart condition so has to be kept warm - he is still snuggled up on his bed inside a sleeping bag though The younger hound who couldn`t care less has just been running around in the garden having a mad few minutes, she`s long enough to curl up though so isn`t usually bothered. Shes a real outsidey type dog and shè`s just returned home from a few days camping with DH yesterday.

Ill put money on me having to scrape the car down in the morning.

Keep warm peeps.

I had a look at the BBC map and I think Yorkshire was one of the coldest places in the country.

Lost - that's cold for inside brrrrrrrr

Sunnydays - keep warm, that's .... baltic!

For you both - funnily enough, someone's just started a thread over on the pets board about what people do to keep their cats warm in winter ...... glad to see the pooches are just as pampered! (Mine's a "cold boy" and hates the heat but is now getting on so will be wearing his winter coat when we go out in the mornings)
