Is your heating ON or OFF?

The temp has only crept up two degrees to 12 and it feels balmy already.

I have no idea how you manage! I've cut down on food shopping radically so far this year - there's not a snack to be found in the house! - but I cannot be uncomfortable in my own home. Hence the heating is on whenever I'm in, unless I'm asleep under the duvet.

I don't blame you. I opened the kitchen window earlier as pans were bubbling on the stove. That was a decisive moment and not one foot has been set outside, not even to take the rubbish out. That can wait until tomorrow during daylight.

I gave in and the heating is on for an hour or so, I haven't decided for how long yet. The temp has only crept up two degrees to 12 and it feels balmy already. I'll be down to a sleeveless T-shirt soon at this rate.

My heating is at 22 tonight and I have my fleecy track suit on and id say im comfortable but definately not hot........Phew me I really dont know how you exist at 12 degrees:eek::eek:....We are supposed to have snow on Saturday, plus the temperatures are not going to go up much for the next 5 days , I do like a cold bedroom with the big window open whatever the weather, but I cant sit in a cold room........Take care...

Hi guys,
I am just de-lurking to ask where you have found to be the cheapest place to get hot water bottles from?
I need to buy 3 (1 each for me and my chidren) and cant afford very much, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Primark do them, not sure what the quality is like though. They have covers but looked quite small.

I got one from M&S reduced, they were £12 with furry covers full price reduced to £6 in December though not sure they have them in stock now.

Definitely get the covered ones though, back as a kid we had just the rubber bottles that were a bit too hot at first then were cold in the morning!

I exist at 12 degrees because I must. No masochist hard-nut here, I assure you. The heating is off now but still a "cosy" 13 degrees. I am wearing rather a lot of layers: thermal undergarments, my beloved fleece PJ bottoms on top of trousers and two fleece tops. Oh and a silk scarf so I don't get cold air going down the back of my neck. If I'd known before that I'd have to do this I wouldn't have thought it possible to be comfortably warm at 13 degrees but it is.

That is definitely a call for posting a photo

Perhaps we should start another thread "What are you wearing" (to keep warm of course LOL)

Yes, very funny gettingready, I wouldn't want to frighten the horses. I'm not quite cutting a Michelin-man-style outline yet but I could be if it gets any colder in here. Need to get the electric-blanket warming the bed and turned up to "max".
