Resourcefulness: The budgeter's friend

Yes, agree @PiP, it doesn't feel chilly enough to spaff actual funds on heating yet. I think we're still at the 'putting on an extra layer' stage atm, which is good from a bills perspective. We still have the summer duvet on the bed with a single blanket until the end of the month. Can't bear being too hot in bed. Mr F is like a central heating boiler in man-form.

I tend to add more and more layers until I look like the Michelin Man and can't actually move properly before I contemplate giving any of our pounds to the grubby energy companies!
Mr PIP is also a man-radiator so the start of winter has officially arrived when he puts jeans on instead of shorts 😁
He's still in shorts, I have started wearing fingerless gloves if we're outside early evening

Me and DH went out for a walk to the coast today, weather was beautiful blue skies and lovely and warm. Saw quite a few men still clinging on to wearing shorts. Whilst I had gone out with a scarf and hat in my rucksack in case it got too chilly.

What is it about men? We live on the coast & holiday makers in particular walk along our lane. On a warm day, both sexes are often in shorts. On a cold or wet day, the women are dressed for the weather, but the men are usually still in their shorts, even if they are wearing a hat or waterproof jacket.

Always find shorts and jacket combo a bit weird lol
