I've had enough!

My CH has never been off, it cuts in when the room temperature drops to 21.5. There is no way I could live in the north of England without heating.

Have used hot water bottle through the summer, not even worn one summer skirt, have had heating on some evenings through the summer months, we didn't get the warm weather the South of England had in July, really fed up of the cold and rain

Anniebach I will confess to using a HWB most of the year.

I wonder where you cold souls were this summer? I understand Scotland Northern Ireland have been chilly but even in a rather wet Yorkshire last month I didn't find it really cold.

I was and am half way up a welsh mountain and it's cold , beautiful but cold Nellie

Well it's cold here in the SE at the moment and I, too, love my hwb. Thyroid to blame I think but apart from the earlier heatwave I have always had my hwb on my feet in the evening. I love the comfort.

Well, I still have my shorts on - and I live in Scotland where the temperature is normally a good 10 degrees below that enjoyed by the wimps lovely people living in the South of the country . I have to admit to wearing a t-shirt in bed last night until I warmed up and then cast it off. I haven't turned on the heating yet but put on a few more clothes if I feel a bit chilly. Winter is long enough when it comes so for me, it is still summer

Well, after a slow start here, I think it's been a lovely summer. Sorry all. Handful of bad days and a couple of really nasty ones. Haven't needed a coat and been in short sleeves most of the time . However, winter/ autumn started with a vengeance on 1st Sept. We had heating on for a couple of hours. Nice again today and DH says due to get wat Dr at end of week.

Nice day at the back of the house windy cold day at the front!

That's the trouble teetime the 'air' has not had time to warm up this year. As soon as you are out of the warmth of the sun, it is quite chilly, sometimes really cold. The sun just did not start to shine early enough in the year, and we have had no really long spells of heat to warm everything up. That is of course, apart from the really cold rain.

But we are forecast an Indian summer this coming week! Still, as we all know, 'they' are usually wrong.

nelliemoser I'm in N.Ireland. It has been consistently cold all summer with the temperature straining to reach 16C. Average has been about 13/14C. Today I put on my thermal vest!!
