Not on here yet. Nothing a warm drink and a decent jumper won't fix!

Just put the gas fire on, DS is sitting doing his homework and we are cold.

Cosy in the living room with the open fire on, burning some wood we gathered during the summer months. Hoodie on and crocheting a huge blanket. OH in tiny radio shack all snug and toastie :j

Not needed the heating on this evening.

I've set the thermostat to click in at 17.5 which is what I woke to this morning. Once it's higher than that the heating will click off and that will be us for the day. I have washing on the rads and on airer in front of a rad so hoping to capture some the the 'chill off' heat with some drying.

It ain't 'alf a game this isn't it!?

Ta for all your suggestions in answer to my clothes drying conundrum, unfortunately I am not sure any of them work for our situation - no curtain rails, doors too thin for over door hangers (the ones I have tried have chipped paint from the frame) and no additional funds for a dehumidifier right now.

I shall stick to just heating the big radiators with bedding on them and leaving the clothes under the open skylight, as that has kept the damp cold smell (fuddle - totally get what you mean!) at bay. We move soon, so hopefully will have some different options to trial in the house!

Heating not on yet, I have tested it though on a day when I had visitors coming:) and thankfully its working OK, and I will probably be putting it on for an hour tomorrow as I have a load of washing done and its too wet here to dry outside and hung over radiators

A 'game' is exactly how I see it sometimes, kind of a challenge to see how far we can go without putting it on!

Came into the living room tonight to find OH put the little electric fire on - I quickly ran in shouting 'Nooo!' - and sent him upstairs to get a thicker jumper and im sat with fingerless gloves on! (hands are always freezing when im typing!) That and a cup of tea has sorted us out no problem.

I also just put the thin fleece blankets we have ontop of the bottom bed sheet so its not so :eek: when we get in later!

my DD asked for a hot water bottle tonight - I struggled to remember where I'd put them.

I hate drying clothes in the winter, they start to smell of damp because they don't dry quick enough.

Drying clothes indoors is a particular bugbear of mine too! I don't have space for a tumble dryer, and wish there was a viable alternative to radiators.
