Anyone else got their heating on?

[QuestionableMouse]

Bloody freezing in Hartlepool today! Heavy rain, highs of 11c!!! Massive puddles everywhere already!

Been to an outside event and even in my winter coat I've come back in properly cold. Even with a change of clothes, blanket and hot water bottle i was feeling chilly so ive given in and put the heating on but feel ridiculous considering it's meant to be high summer!

No because I'm in spain and it's 32. I know I'm not who you're asking, I'm just happy it's finally not raining where I am on holiday as it normally is shit weather on my hols and lovely at home

Glad someone has sunshine at least! Send some my way! 😁🤣

@QuestionableMouse on it

13 degrees here and yes I have put the bloody heating on. It’s freezing and bucketing and I plan to shower later. I’m not freezing my not inconsiderable arse off for anyone!

No but I did have to put a winter fleece on the other night.

Not today but about a fortnight ago we threw an end of year BBQ for the year 11 leavers on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't quite July and we had all been sweltering the week before. It was perishing. I wasn't dressed especially light- tea dress, cardigan and medium weight tights- but being outside for an extended amount of time I ended up cold to my bones! Had the heating on then and the electric blanket on the bed.

Not today, but we do all have hoodies/cardis on.

I did actually have the heating on for an hour the other day. We were all so wet after being out in the rain and it was freezing. It definitely helped to dry out my trainers a bit.

Up early and lit the log burner in the sitting room, only on for an hour, just enough to make the room cosy.

I was tempted last night, but settled for getting the duvet out of storage!

Also in the NE and if it doesn't stop raining I'm going to have to put it on to dry the washing that's been draped all over the house for the last 2 days and still not dry.

Normally it goes off in May and not back on until October.

I am getting tired of reading about people being 'freezing' in the middle of summer. Yes it is miserable, yes the temperatures are lower than they should be, but competitive coldness is tiring.
I am a member of one FB energy page where they are all competing about how cold they are and the steps they have taken to get warm. One woman claimed to be sitting under a duvet with a hot water bottle, the heating on and a fire lit. These are the same people who 'refused' to put the heating on in the winter. They do love a good pity party on there though.

@aintnospringchicken wouldn't 15 C be considered a heatwave in Scotland & positively balmy lolz 🤣

OP I'm just down the road from you and I had mine on earlier

No but I've got a fleece on, and the dehumidifier to try and dry some washing

Then stop reading about it @Katypp and get off the FB page - problem solved.

Yes, but mainly because I’m trying to dry washing. We’re going away at the end of the week and need to pack, but before that the washing needs to be done.

No, just been out for a dog walk in a t shirt and it's lovely 😂 ☀️

I want to but my boyfriend would cry😂

I've resorted to a long sleeved top.

I find is weirdly compelling

Yes, but it's to try and get some washing dry; it's not stopped raining for days and we're running out of clothes!

No, LOL! I had to seriously consider whether it was acceptable to put a thick jumper on in July yesterday 😂

serves you right then!

I’m west Manchester way and it’s 17 degrees! Might not feel it but im
not cold We’ve had windows open and the house temp is still 20.5 degrees. We don’t even heat it that temp in winter. Too bloody expensive!

Might be wet but it’s not that cold, jumpers hoodies and blankets before heating on the middle of summer . It doesn’t take long to warm up.

True that 🤣
