It's grim, raining and I'm cold but it's June. Should I light the fire?

Heavy rain has stopped gardening - it really is bucketing down. So I've come inside. My cat is logging on now so she can vote for option 1 - what do you think?

Yeah - if you're cold go for itWe’re in a holiday cottage with a log burner, it’s pouring down so guess what I’m about to do. Hint: it involves logs and combustion.1

Yeah - if you're cold go for itI'm with @The_Green_Hornet, the thermostat is set and keeps me comfortable.2

Yeah - if you're cold go for itObviously put a jumper on first, that's just sensible, but if you've already done that and you're cold, go for it. No sense in being cold if you don't have to.2

I spent most of May hoping for rain to fill up the rainwater tank, but it's full and I've got plenty now to last well into July, thanks. I think I'll spend June hoping for the rain to give way to sunshine on the solar panels. By the way, spring really was a belter here - just got my FIT payment of £250ish, best ever

No - man up, stop complaining and put a jumper onAs our heating takes the best part of a day to get the house temp back up I've opted for the woolly jumpy option but SWMBO has resorted to the heated over blanket
