Given in and put my thermals on!
It was either that or put the heating on, which is surely a step too far in mid summer?

North west here, I've got a full winter outfit on, jeans, long sleeve thick top, just about to go to the supermarket in my coat as well, it's the sort of outfit I'd expect to wear in about October. I literally cannot wait to be in Spain in a few weeks!

South west here and I've got a blanket over me.

I prefer this to it being too hot, though.

On the Yorkshire Coast, it's 15c, been drizzling all day, it's grey , it's depressing.

eddiemairswife · 22/07/2023 17:05

Wolverhampton. Fire on, thick cardigan, blanket over legs, have gloves nearby, but difficult to turn pages when reading.

Mommasgotabrandnewbag · 22/07/2023 17:08

Nottingham here, all doors and windows open, nice breeze. Light cardi on. What's wrong with you all?

South Derbyshire here. I'm quite hot blooded so no heating on, but I've not opened the windows which I normally do every day in summer. Been pissing it down all day.

👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻hi neighbour

Yip , gardens happy but nothing done today

Igmum · 22/07/2023 17:23

Also Manchester. Eyeing my heated blankets in a thoughtful kinda way.

CoinsinaJar · 22/07/2023 17:26

Another one in South Derbyshire @Beezknees ... grim old day and fed up with the rain.

Whyohwhyohwhy123 · 22/07/2023 17:28

Rural Yorkshire and it’s not too cold but it is miserable and wet so ive lit the stove and it’s getting cosy now.

otherwayup · 22/07/2023 17:31

Had my electric blanket on last night.
Ffs!

Dahliasrule · 22/07/2023 17:38

Lincolnshire. Had heating on for an hour yesterday just to warm up house. Today sitting with throw over legs and have put a thermal vest on so no heating as yet.

Vicliz24 · 22/07/2023 17:41

East Midlands too . Had to put a furry throw over the summer bedding last night . Dog is curled up under a blanket. Bloody nesh !!!

I'm on the east coast of Scotland and I'm sitting in the garden. It's a little breezy but warm and pleasant.

I'm in Scotland too and I don't get that people can be so cold down south they are putting their heating on with blankets , wimps 😆.

It doesn't mean cold. It's used to describe someone that feels the cold - a bit of a wimp. I wasn't really calling the OP that I just used it because its an East Midlands word and IYKYK.

BucketofTeaMassiveCake · 22/07/2023 18:20

South Notts here - it's wet and cold so is particularly dreary and I'm a bit depressed. I've put a vest on, no socks yet but contemplating them. I'm under a heated blanket for heavens sake.

EdithStourton · 22/07/2023 18:23

Just walked the dogs. Added a coat and hat to what I was already wearing (long trousers, cardy).

Spanielsarepainless · 22/07/2023 18:26

Coastal southwest here. Raining, windy, cold. Just put thick, long trousers on.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 22/07/2023 18:30

Sheffield and it’s kind of cold and humid at the same time? Horrible. Heating on last night.

Dd then pinched the thermostat and hid it in her room all night. Cue boiling hot all night🥵

Hi neighbour 👋

West Midlands here I've stolen an old pair of ds jogging trousers (that he has grown out of) because I'm cold and I packed my winter gear away

Well I'm glad I decided to sell my splendour ticket a few weeks ago

Alighttouchonthetiller · 22/07/2023 19:09

Rural Lincolnshire. It's chilly if you sit about, so I am buzzing about doing stuff. Cardy on. Wishing it was warm enough for rosè in the garden.

Toasty280 · 22/07/2023 19:10

Centerfield- heating is on
