I'm freezing and was cold yesterday (so I put on extra layers and dressing gown) but today I thought sod it just because it's nearly June why can't I have a fire ??? It can't be as bad as turning the central heating on can it ? Please tell me I'm not nuts !

Where are you? It's not exactly scorchio where i am (Leeds) but I think needing the fire lit would be a bit odd. though you can do what you like of course

Or are you my dad? He loves a good fire....temperature in the living room there is hotter than the sun.

You're completely nuts for asking random people on the internet this question.

Your house - your fire.

Unless you're going to ask me to pay your fuel bill, do what you like Grin

YANBU - I am wearing a scarf!

Mitchy1nge · 30/05/2014 16:29

yay I've had a fire every day for about a week, we are not alone

and the heating is on whenever I'm in

even polar bears' teeth would be chattering at the moment

My central heating is programmed to come on when it gets below a certain temp inside - 14 degrees or something. It clicked on yesterday and the day before - nothing to do with me. Wink

Yanbu! Came in half an hour ago with DS and we are both in jumpers and hats today. Fire lit and curtains drawn. It's v odd weather today. V dark and stormy

According to the bbc, it's the 3rd warmest spring since records began! I'm freezing!

ManchesterAunt · 30/05/2014 18:43

Yanbu! Nothing in the world cosier.

I nearly relented yesterday. Eyeing up my woodburner and axe I was, last night.

Littlefish · 30/05/2014 18:47

We have a fire most evenings. Our Sittingroom is over the cellar, so it tends to be a bit cool in there. In fact, DH is lighting the fire as I type this!

BuilderMammy · 30/05/2014 18:48

We had a fire on the 21st of June last year! We had one last night. Might not tonight though, I've no washing to dry. My feet are cold, though. Hmm...

I'm in south west ! The weird thing is I've actually been quite warm all morning, outside cleaning the car in a t-shirt but this afternoon it's gone really chilly (and think it's going to pour down- knew I shouldn't have washed the car)

I am boiling but could be my age

FernMitten · 30/05/2014 22:20

My heating's on too, I'm freezing in the evening lately. Tshirts on and windows open in the day though Confused

Blackpuddingbertha · 30/05/2014 22:32

Third night in a row here for a fire. South East, but our house doubles very nicely as a fridge.

Godcreatedcricket · 30/05/2014 22:38

Too right, love. I put one on the other evening and I'm in tropical London.

Notcontent · 30/05/2014 22:41

I put my fire on this week too! It's been so grey and chilly compared to two weeks ago... It cheers me up! Nothing like a nice glass of wine and a fire....

pictish · 30/05/2014 22:42

My electric blanket's on. I'm just letting it warm up for a bit. Tis chilly here.

MrsCosmopilite · 30/05/2014 22:46

Not tonight, but we did have the fire alight for a little while yesterday as it got cold in the evening.
