I’m absolutely freezing this evening and just put the heating on. Anyone else cold?

In the East and bloody freezing. Wrapped in a blanket currently. 🥶

dementedpixie · 01/06/2023 19:55

Nice and sunny in Scotland
Have had my washing out all day

Qilin · 01/06/2023 19:55

It was 13c today. I really miss that warm weather we had not that long ago. The forecast for half term was supposed to be nice but it just never materialised!

Currently sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, and I’m usually a chilly mortal.

We haven’t walked the dog for over a week but he is elderly with a heart condition

I'm in the Midlands and I have had the heating on today

Lottsbiffandsmudge · 01/06/2023 19:58

It's cold here in Beds.
Sun not come out at all today. North East wind is bitter. My heating is set to 17deg and it came on this morning.
And now its drizzling.
Got my blanket on on the sofa!

N Yorks. 12°C feeling like 10°C. Thermostat in the hall says 16.5°C.

Lying on sofa with fleece blanket and dog on me …in SE .

Porkandbeans1 · 01/06/2023 19:59

It's cooler but no way would I put the heating on. It goes off in April and doesn't come back on until October. I do have a nice blanket over the back of the sofa that I will put over my legs in the evenings.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain Dave the dog was definitely finding it a tad on the warm side, he is a spaniel and runs constantly everywhere, it was chilly at 5.30 this morning though

pukepoint3 · 01/06/2023 20:00

We did too this morning. 12 degrees now. Fucking ridiculous.

Bring on September when I'm complaining about it being 34 degrees.

00100001 · 01/06/2023 20:02

Baking here, doors and windows open.

ShowOfHands · 01/06/2023 20:02

I'm in East Anglia and it's 10 degrees outside. Hasn't got above 13 all day. Thermostat says it's 16 degrees in the hallway. I've been chilly all day but have been for a run and am about to have a hot bath. I am NOT putting the heating on.

DeathWinsAGolfish · 01/06/2023 20:03

Dorset here, just come in from the garden in a summer dress and flip flops, had to sit in the shade until 3, and I feel the cold!

Figment1982 · 01/06/2023 20:04

Yep our heating has gone on too! Cambs.

Tulipvase · 01/06/2023 20:06

I’m in Oxfordshire and this afternoon was the first time since last weekend that it has been remotely warm. It’s been very cloudy and quite windy all week.

No heating on but I lit the fire on Tuesday.

Minikievs · 01/06/2023 20:06

Freezing here too OP, East Mids.
I refuse to put the heating back on though. Am in massive oodie and furry slipper boots

trulyunruly01 · 01/06/2023 20:07

I confess I've been putting a little boost on in the mornings, here in Kent. Just a little boost.
I wish this wind would do one.

WednesdaysPlaits · 01/06/2023 20:07

East mids here and I’ve had the woodburner on all day

PinkFootstool · 01/06/2023 20:08

19.5c in my house with the back door open.... Cornwall is boiling this week!

peachypudding · 01/06/2023 20:08

It's gorgeous here in Cornwall.

CCSS15 · 01/06/2023 20:08

Heating was on yesterday and today for an hour - east anglia. Wheres the warm sunny weather we were promised for half term - its miserable and cold!

GoodChat · 01/06/2023 20:08

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain 21 degrees is too hot to walk a dog

ladydiggins · 01/06/2023 20:09

Northish Cotswolds here and the sun came out forra bit earlier and it was lovely. Cold again now with a very chilly breeze.

FoulFeetSmellSomethingHorrible · 01/06/2023 20:09

Me! I gave in this evening.

It's technically a bit warmer in the lounge than it was at points over winter BUT I am so sick of being cold - it feels like I've been cold for months. I gave it and put the heat on because I cannot stand it any more.
