susanbb Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I know exactly how you feel. I thought it was just me. At this rate I'll be sitting with my cosy slippers and drinking cocoa tonight if it continues Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've been sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket - I refuse to put the heating on just yet and speaking of mulled wine - I have a bottle left over from last year - cant go off can it??

sparkleeeeee Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 i love mulled wine and stock up at christmas and drink it over the year, i dont think it can go off. i bought some non alcoholic mulled wine from blickling hall christmas fair for MIL last year but didnt use it so i will serve it this year as the date is jan 08. i think tesco and sainsburys sometimes have it all year. it is really cold i have a huge big jumper on because i am putting the run together and its pretty windy at the moment and very wet. i was up alot with my little girl last night and it was cold in the house. i will be putting the heating on tonight just to get some clothes dry.

The Dogmother Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I was so cold last night that I put the leccie blanket on before I went to bed. The summer duvet was only on my bed for all of a week this year. The heating is on at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Flipping freezing here yesterday Our central heating has been on more than off this summer. we have used loads of oil Saturdays max temperature was 6oc We have only had a few warmish days here for months, I could probably count them on one hand. My parents are here at the moment and I had warned them to bring warm clothes (meaning winter clothes) they didn't heed my warning This summer has been pants and I am dreading the dark winter days up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbb Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've had to have some soup and I must say that I'm tempted to wrap myself in a downie to keep myself warm Hope summer does come tomorrow. That's a lovely thought Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 OH works at a well known soup/jam/pickle factory. They can't keep up with the demand for soup this summer. We need some warm weather so that OH can take a break and get home at a decent time for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 gave in and put the heating on this morning that should bring the sun out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Absolutely freezing here. Dull and damp We have just moved into brand new offices, they are very nice but the air con is freezing Just been out to get some soup and hot chocolate to help me stay warm. I am not really a person that feels the cold so it must be bad They have told us we will have to wait a year for the building to 'settle down' before they do anything about it At least I haven't got to dig out my winter woollies, as I never put them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Put the boys winter duvets back on the beds today - managed to get the summer quilts washed and on the line - but cloudy most of the day . Admit to eyeing up the blackberries and dreaming of crumbles for pud . Is summer really gone now . Mrs Snowy must be in need of a warmer - as I put mustard in a shell, to stop her eating Ebony's eggs - and she scoffed the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Oh refuses to put the fire on so i have a large jumper on and big fluffy socks.

Cinnamon Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have heaps of washing to do, but as its supposed to get nicer this weekend I am trying to hold out so I can get it line dried. I refuse to have dripping washing around the house in August I have done all the tumble dryable stuff today, but there is a big pile still left that I can't tumble Roll on September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
