Nope.

Summer duvet still on & no heating needed yet however the insulation in this newly built (17 year old) development is excellent.

Nice as it means I can spend my pensions on more frivolous things. Lucky me.

That's good FGT.

It was down to 2deg here last night so yes, I’ve felt the cold. I no longer have Dh to keep me warm in bed so the electric blanket keeps me warm at bedtime.

I suppose it might depend too on what part of the country we are in. I've also got the heating on !

Beechnut..I gave up my sandals end of last week !

The weather man did say the temperature would be below average, how right he was!

Heating is on here!

Even thought about lighting the woodburner but resisted.

No, I’m not ready to give up my sandals until the end of October. Today though I was out in the garden and felt that late afternoon autumn chill. I came indoors and had a lovely warm shower.

I know we have been lucky in that the start of October was mild, and that now we are back to more 'seasonal' temps ..BUT, I don't know if it is because I've been used to being relatively warm, but now it's plummeted I can't seem to adjust.I've felt really chilled the last few days and have felt cold in bed.I feel it's 'Too early' for me to feel like this and I don't really want to take any of my winter measures just yet !! Is it just me ?
