Been in two houses this week. No windows open. Bloody stuffy, makes me feel uncomfortable.
I always open my windows and can't stand sitting in a room or a house where there is no fresh air.
I know it's cold in the winter but at this time of year I can't stand it.
🙄
Get the window open . Lol.

I air my house. Love open windows and air circulating. Dh hats it and closes all the windows. The battle of the bedroom window is an ongoing saga

Are you hoping they're on here and will take the hint?

GingerPirate · 04/07/2024 22:52

Absolutely.
And don't get me started on households with dogs.

Are you a burglar?

Brilliant! 🤣🤣

It’s freezing here, I have my heating on. Not opening the windows to heat outside.

It’s been warm here…to keep the house cool its better for me to keep windows / blinds closed, and then open at night. If it’s a little cooler then opening the windows on the north / east side is fine. But unless it’s less than 22/24 degrees outside I’m keeping the southerly / westerly windows closed thanks!

We have to be careful opening windows as our cat isn't allowed out for health reasons.

JumpstartMondays · 04/07/2024 22:42

I open windows at night to let the hot air out and cool air in. I keep windows shut in the day to keep the hot air out.

Keeps the house cooler.

AloeVerity · 04/07/2024 22:41

Always have the windows locked open a crack. Summer and winter. You’d be ok at my house, OP!

No thanks. I want the pollen outside where it belongs!

No word of a lie, I was about to reply, ‘Pollen? But it’s winter’ — and then I remembered it isn’t winter, it is just an incredibly cold and grey July 😭

I'm with you OP, but I live with 3 hay fever sufferers. Whenever I open a window my Dd wails " why are you trying to kill me?!"

tillyandmilly · 04/07/2024 22:40

We always have all our windows open as top floor flat and always hot !

HungryLittleCrocodile · 04/07/2024 22:40

Umm here's a radical suggestion.

Ask them to open a window for you ... Confused

MrWatzisname · 04/07/2024 22:39

Flies.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 04/07/2024 22:38

Lol?

You're easily amused.

BashfulClam · 04/07/2024 22:37

Mil can’t reach her windows as they are opened high up so I’d rather she didn’t fall.

Bluevelvetsofa · 04/07/2024 22:27

OK
