In my leggings, that is. Recommendations for a pair of warm trews please.

If I wore fleecey lined leggings I'd resemble the back half of a pantomime horse. I just wear thicker trousers, boots and so long as my neck & head are a warm, so is the rest of me. I rarely wear gloves - that's what pockets are for wink After about 10 minutes walking/gardening or whatever, I have to start stripping off as I become too hot and bothered

I think the world is divided into those who feel the cold and those who don't and it is programmed into us from birth.

DH and DD walk round in T shirts and bare feet, when I am probably wearing three layers, tights, socks and fingerless gloves. My sister is much the same. We also both have Raynaud's Syndrome, that means our fingers go numb, at the slightest sudden drop in temperature and take a long time to come back to normal so we try to keep our hands and arms warm to stop that happeneing.

I was born cold
DH was born hot
That is until the menopause now I am often hot (although hands and feet are usually cold).
For some reason DH now feels the cold.

My sister and my little 4 yr old grandson are hot blooded, they are always as warm as toast.
My 5 year old grandson hates being cold, he is like me cold hands and feet.
He loves his snuggly dressing gown whereas his brother hates his and says its too warm!

Some of the images conjured up here made me chuckle. Love the thought of tucking my long vest into my big knickers smile
I'm one of the over heating brigade, don't own a jumper and I am wearing toe post sandals around the house. No central heating and no heating of any sort in my bedroom plus an open window all night.
Summer is the season I dislike most.
