    Its bloody freezing in here.

    We have no heating at all for the main body of the building, jut a coupole to electric meters and gas fire in the lounge (and that heats only the lounge)

    I am off with Ds today, and we each have on thermal vests, tshirt, jumper and 2 pairs of socks.

    :(:(

    Update. It's 9 C (48 F) in my room at the moment and 8 C (46 F) in my bedroom. I'm still wearing a tee shirt with a long sleeve tee shirt over the top plus a scarf. I feel pretty comfortable with that. The laptop cooling fan doesn't come on any more! Hot water bottle is my best friend in bed.

    We've just re-done the CH, so had a wireless thermostat installed. It's great - you can put it in the room that you'd like the CH to recognise. At the moment, it's in the lounge where we have it set to 19oC for the evenings. It's usually off during the day, but today as it was so chilly (down south too !), I've put it on continuous to kick in when the lounge drops below 14oC as I don't want the kitties to shiver :o

    My thermostat says 20oC, but I'm not convinced! It may be close to that in the hallway where the 'stat is, because that's where my electric heater is... Doesn't mean it's that in the rest of the rooms!

    My house averages around 16c at best and more often as not it seems to stay around 10c, so the best place is diving under the duvet(I have put a 13.5 tog on on the bed)sadly it's too big to put in my washer but with a blanket under it and regular changing of sheets and clothes maybe I can avoid washing it and having to spend money replacing it.

    Lots of layered clothing, gloves, hats, socks, thermals etc...but still my feet and hands get cold.
