Brrrrrrr!

No but the electric blanket is back on the bed. 😂

I’ve put the central heating on. I go by the temperature rather than the time of year, and it is 11 degrees here.

Oh, absolutely not. We have an absolute ban on any form of heating going on before October at the earliest, and even then it would only be the woodburner. Central heating is reserved for the very coldest of conditions - talking about frost, snow etc.

Not yet-but it's 19 degrees so won't be long!

Hope everyone is aware of the storm due this weekend. Lots of wind and rain. Some of us will be needing the thick socks and extra blankets.

Well ……. This morning I changed it from summer mode to automatic, which means according to the time of day (at the moment mornings and evenings) it comes on below 21c.

Today is the first day I’ve worn socks!

No. We are warm in our apartment. A 15 year old new build with excellent insulation and our balcony window & door is south facing so warms our main room beautifully. Probably won’t need any heating here until December/January like last year.

Not yet! but my socks have been resurrected I've also invested in a weighted blanket more for my husband because he feels the cold, although I'm hoping it will give me a better quality of sleep.

I live in Scotland where it's generally colder than elsewhere. The temperature didn't rise above 11° today and it has been wet and windy. I have put on the heating for a couple of hours and I am perfectly happy with that.

I'm in Scotland too, but my rules (see above) still apply!

I'm further north than you Grandmabatty, on the Angus coast, but we've been sheltered from the worst of the wind and rain. I'm still under my summer bedcover, but did put on my lighter weight oodie this morning when I got up. Winter's getting closer I fear!

I’m not giving in until October

Definitely not. Still have windows open even at night and only wear a sweater in the evening. Very warm here( Berkshire) when the sun is out. First day wearing socks.

No, but I've got my vest on today!

Well, it's a cami top, vest sounds so oldladyish.

First day wearing socks
And socks.

It can't make it's mind up here. I got up at 5.00.a.m. this morning to drive up into the Cotswolds to fence judge at a horse trials. We had just about every type of weather apart from snow. The sun came out, it was warm, the sun went in, it was cold, the wind blew, it stopped blowing, the heavens opened and we had driving rain then just a misty barely there drizzle and then the sun came out and we were warm again! I enjoyed my day but I didn't enjoy the weather.

I put my socks on for the first time today too. Our heating is set at 18° and has been coming on in the mornings for the past few days.
It was wet, cool and dull in my part of Northumberland this morning.

Socks for me too this week.
Have put the electric blanket on the bed for DH who puts his side on but not mine just yet.

There wasn't any drizzle here, just warm sunshine interspersed with deluges!

Why doesn't it wash the cobwebs off the conservatory roof? Or the leaves that cling to them?

yes, two early mornings about 6am in an attempt to drive out damp as we have had driving wind and lashing rain hitting the house on the west side, plus, it is misty and chilly early morning now.
As soon as the sun rises and the day warms up then we have top windows open.
This weekend the electric blanket is going back on the bed, winter duvet on, the drop in temperature is about 10 degrees
so of course we are feeling the difference.

Monday and Tuesday this week here were glorious, warm, sunny.
Now we have a week of intermittent rain storms and winds.
O joy.

I've just started wearing my winter dressing gown in the mornings. By lunch time it's usually warmed up nicely.

I had to give in today and put the heating on. It was only 13° in my living room. It was on for about an hour and felt much better for a little warmth.

I haven’t needed to yet for which I’m grateful. Don’t think it will be long before it’s on.
