Chickvic Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 OH had put the heating on by the time I got home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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.

ali-s Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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.

Guest Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 we havent had the heating on, im sat wrapped in a blanket, im a bit tired tonight though cathy x 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 We lit the rayburn a couple of nights ago... not just for warmth but to get some of the mounds of washing dry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstine Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I love Autumn though, i just need to get out of the summer mindset so i can start enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 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!)
