Smart Door Power Options

No - not even thought about it, DH and I share a fleecy blanket if it gets really cold over winter rather than put the heating on. The children have their own fleecy blankets

[mostin]

OH had put the heating on by the time I got home from work

[Ms Marple]

Noo - not yet although I considered turning the aga on - then changed my mind as it will be too hot (living in hope!). When we say that someone is nesh we mean that they feel the cold easily. This sums me up as most of this summer my family have had t shirts on and maybe a hoodie, whereas I have a longsleeved tshirt/wickingtop. followed by a short-sleevedtshirt over the top and a hoodie as my starting point. I always say it is due to me being brought up in hotter climes - the scientist in me knows better.

I reckon that Omletina will be last if I remember last year's thread correctly.

We have a couple of coal fires this week. I am tempted to switch on the storage heaters but know if I do the weather will turn warm the next day. I have been wrapping a throw around me in the evenings.

OMG we were totally WIPED after teaching on Thursday and last night I was like a Zombie. I can't believe how much my feet ached after one day in "those" heels - I was wearing them all week at the end of last term. Even the kids noticed Friday that I ended up wearing my sensibly "teacherly" shoes!

[poachedegg]

I have - but OH came home and had to open the French doors as he thought it was too hot!

[susanbb]

Not yet........... but there's still time

[Purplemaniacs]

Sounds like my house, I am cold, OH comes in and opens the windows I admit we have had the AGA on all summer I hate it when it is turned off for its service, the kitchen is not the same

We lit the rayburn a couple of nights ago... not just for warmth but to get some of the mounds of washing dry!!

[Seagazer]

No - I did put socks and a fleece on yesterday though. When we walked Cookie yesterday there was a definite autumn chill to the air. I quite like getting snuggly.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Yes (but on low for now!) .

[Griffin]

I resisted temptation again last night by sitting in a cardi zipped right up and with the hood on. Mr Griffin was hot though and wanted to open the bedroom window!

[Kirstine]

We moved in here in July, and I think there have only been a couple of days when we DIDN'T have the heating on, for at least the second half of the evening!

I have several lines of defence, m'lud:

1. This is Scotland.

2. The heating is linked to the woodburner and we had to get the hang of it when we moved in, and before it was vital... (to be honest the novelty of burning stuff hasn't worn off yet!)

3. The woodburner/heating system is somewhat byzantine and the landlords have banned us from turning off the heating pump (due to experience with previous tenants; I've no idea what happens if you do).

4. OH has a version of 'nesh' that involves him feeling the damp very acutely.

5. We have to dry the washing somehow.

[Old Speckled Hen]

Mmmmmmmm

Have pressed "advance" a couple of times

[Chucky Mama]

I thought 'how silly' when I read this thread but I am twitching this afternoon, have just added and extra layer but it's not doing the trick so I may be tempted.

[bronze]

I put it on at about 5 this morning for about half an hour. I wouldnt normally but was feeding Izy and certain parts of me were a wee bit chilly

[earthmam1]

not yet but have got out the fleecy slippers

[Helly Welly]

I turned mine off again at teatime, it was getting a bit too toasty. Mind you, i was freezing last night, i had a blanket on top of the duvet and a hot water bottle. I just couldn't warm up.

[hillfamily]

Raises hand from underneath a blanket with the fire on in the conservatory...I'm nice and warm now :D

 

I can't believe how quickly it has turned autumny.

[Helly Welly]

I love Autumn though, i just need to get out of the summer mindset so i can start enjoying it.

[Guest]

hmm having recently started a business that is somewhat seasonal and just starting to pick up I am not impressed by such an early arrival of Autumn. Roll on Spring I say - I need to make some money so that I can afford to take unpaid leave to get my plastic surgery done (which will then mean I have to employ someone to run the summer season as I will be totally incapable of heavy lifting for a looong while!)

[Space Chick]

I am typing from infront of my beautiful coal fire as we speak, toasty warm and cosy

[theherd123]

Not me, Im sitting here in crop trousers and a t-shirt.

 

I intend to warm my feet up on the OH when I go to bed!

[Angels4]

It was a beautiful 81 degrees here today. Still no heat being used.
