It definitely is starting to feel quite wintry isn't it.

Some very strong cold biting winds today so I can quite believe that.

Real feel temps are low single figures.

Heating off and staying off this evening.

my heating is still off - thinking about wearing socks and boots to work tomorrow though.

My house sis up a hill and gets battered by the wind, so my heating is on tonight! DD is just back from Florida so is freezing, plus I am trying to dry all of her washing.

Put mine on for an hour as I want to be comfy and relax in front of the tv. I hate being cold and the upstairs ones are still turned off as I hate the bedrooms being too hot.

Still off today but was tempted this morning! brrrrrr!
I've started camping in the OHs room (separate rooms due to snoring) like I usually do when the weather starts to turn. It stays toasty in there well into November usually thanks to the south facing window.
Time for the bed socks and maybe a hot water bottle.

When it get's really nippy 'drying days' are bliss even if it gets a bit damp. I have a 'three layer limit' on my upper body before I turn on the heating. layer A is a Vest/t-shirt which doesn't count, the layer 1 is a not-to-bulky-fleece/jumper, 2 is a thicker fleece/jumper and layer three is a 'house coat'/thick dressing gown.

Although now we tend to look like a pair of monks in our 'robes' now. One decent jumper/thick PJ bottoms/winter socks and slippers under one of those and it's nice and warm

These method are a bit bulky either way so it's just not practical after a certain amount of layers. Not being able to bend your elbows/knees is a good sign that it's time to give up on layers and put the heating on lol.

Sometimes a delivery will turn up and the OH will answer the door in his 'jedi/monk robe' much to the amusement of the delivery man....

I have had my heating on timed for past few days to come on at 6 am and I turn it off manually about an hour later......

Most of my rooms are south facing , so the temp with the sun out has been 23 degrees , my bedroom face north , but I dont mind cos I have my windows open 24/7 365 that suits me fine , cant sleep shut up without fresh air, doesnt matter how cold your bedroom is as long as your under the covers and keep warm..................

My bedroom window is open in all but the coldest nights where there is snow, ice or bitter howling winds which I fear are not too far away :eek:
