Oh yes I wear a camisole to keep my middle warm even in May! My mum used to wear two in the winter and one in the summer!

Glad it’s not just me than. I feel the cold ,heating still on but low. Still wearing jumpers on top of my vest.

Yes, me, and a thick jumper-----and a long cardigan over that !
Tights too, indoors. My old dog's body has to be warm for me to function----for housework purposes, koff !
Hoping to get them surgically removed at the beginning of June grin

My ‘vest’ is a Tshirt which Ive worn all winter (not the same one obviously ?) so if I get warmer I can take off the outer layer and still look half decent. I’ve also been wearing a Tshirt in bed for weeks. It usually gets thrown off once the winter duvet warms me up. Roll on summer ?

Yes- got 2 on as I am going to work in the garden in a mo and it is cold!

My DH feels the cold and is still wearing his vest, thermal top, thick shirt and sweater (pure wool). Says he is still cold so heating on and fire going, roll on summer when it decides to appear!

Think the rhyme refers to May blossom not the month Joy. Although I don't really like the constant rain we are having at present I am making the most of a cooler May as I hate the heat of summer.

Yes! Seems ridiculous in May. Also still using my electric blanket and winter duvet. Love getting into a warm bed. Husband snuggles over too- although he says he doesn’t want an electric blanket on his side !

Yep I’m wearing a thin but warm thermal top under my sweater this morning. It did come off for a week or so but I’ve just felt so chilly I’ve put it back on.

Yes! And it's a thick, thermal, totally unglamorous job and I'm not sure I'll be parting with it for a while! I'd add that I'm quite an active person but I'd need to spend all day leaping around to stay warm without it.

I'm reassured that I'm being sensible by the old saying...

Sounds like a nursery rhyme

Anyone still wearing their vests. !, I am well it’s more a camisole really but I cant do with a cold back, wearing nothing under a top. I think I will have to have it surgically removed before June begins ,
