... being cross that we've put central heating back on ... middle of flipping August!

Lots of rainbows on the horizon..

Was temped to have a little heating on myself yesterday evening - found a cardie instead. Might have to change duvets soon though.

Fling another dog on the bed!!

It must be getting colder at night because my cat Tara spends a lot of the time with me instead of sleeping on her own single bed.

I can't believe how quickly the weather has changed in one week. Last week Summer and hot, now chilly and Autumnal! My daughter and family are due to go on camping trip (tent) Bank Holiday weekend, hope it warms up for them, their last treat before going back to school.

Autumnal, wet and windy here in North Essex this morning and I had to put a cardi on indoors this morning for the first time in weeks. The sun has just come out so I may need to take it off again soon

It's been wet, wild, windy and chilly here in Fife for over a week, but I WILL NOT PUT ON MY HEATING - yet . I am still wearing my shorts and will not give in to Autumn until at least September. Extra layers as required is the way to go........... and I am ever hopeful of an Indian Summer. Keep the faith

Shorts!!!??? (shiver...)

We are still warm here [Oxon] but last night I did put a cardie on for a spot of tv watching about 9.30. Lovely day today, a bit windy but very warm in the sunshine.We never put any heating on until mid October.

I am just about to change from my 2.5 tog duvet back to the winter weight one (10.5)

We did put the log burner on for a couple of hours last night - cat was thought it was in heaven.

Yep. We put our heating on for a bit when the temperature dropped. And I put on a cardy. I like to be comfortable in my old age

I see nothing wrong in putting the heating on in August if the temperature drops. It's the temperature that matters, not the month. After all, if you had a warm spell in December, you'd turn the heating off, wouldn't you?
(say yes)

I enjoy cold weather outdoors but must have warmth indoors.

Its windy wet and cooler but its not cold we still have doors and windows open.

DD1 & famiy off camping in France tomorrow and DD2 & DGDs, DH & I off to Center Parcs Not quite cold enough for a fire but I have put in my log order!

Yes we put the heating on the other night. Hubby forgot it was on and went to bed leaving it on all night. Grrrr....

Sunn has come back in the meantime, thank goodness and much warmer again, apart from the wind. Grandkids and parents gone to play on the Summer Luge run- so having a little rest. Love them so much- but kids are exhausting ;)

With the drop in temperature how does the cardy work when you get out of the bath/shower.
I don't do cold at all. If it's chilly in July, heating goes on. And it has at times.

Perhaps you live somewhere cold Petra? We rarely need the heating onbefore October. The house has had everything done to make it warmer as well, double glazed everywhere and cavity insulation.When you have had a shower, a warm bathrobe? I have a friend who lives in a very old cottage, and she sometimes has the log burner going in July.

We have double glazing, insulation etc but we have had to turn up the thermostat just recently around 6:00 pm. It's been a bit chilly up North.

Heating in August

Although it is cooler than it has been it's still T-shirt weather here in Kent. I haven't felt the need for even a cardi. In fact DG2 and I spent a lovely afternoon playing in the garden on Saturday and we had the patio doors open.

It's me. OH says I only have a range of 3 degrees ( that could be the name of a group) 25 perfect, 24 too cold, 26 too hot!
It doesn't help that I hate winter clothes. Sitting here with a cotton nighty thing on.

No wonder you're cold, petra!
