Just moved into a house and it's first time we've ever had proper heating with a therm, and every day I've got back from work it's been on 28!!!!! It's like a fucking oven and I hate being hot!
'But your daughter was cold' she'll say, as my daughters playing in just a vest top around the house I think to myself I can't wait to pay this bill at the end of the month

I hummus, therefore I am ...
I confess that though I was over-warm in bed with a duvet, quilted jacket and cycling hat, with the window open and the temp around my legs down to 14.5, I've got my 1kw fan heater going rather than putting on my long trousers.

It's a bit "fresh" in the house this morning - nothing to do with the fact that Mrs Voltz leaves the door to the utility room (and thus to the front door with proped open cat flap (don't ask)) wide open - so there's a nice cooling draught into the main room - and I'm sat here in a dressing gown and slippers

28°C is a bit hot for anyone I'd guess, unless they're ill or elderly.
When I was a wee bairn my mam used to leave us outside in the pram - including in the snow in winter - with the dog lying guard next to us to give us fresh air. Didn't do us any harm and probably toughened us up. Don't know whether the poor dog enjoyed lying in the snow though. (((dino)))
I sure dino was fine.I've seen sheepdogs lying outside their quality kennels (as befits working dogs) in snowdrifts with a look of ecstasy and their tongues hanging out panting.

He was a very fluffy collie so you're probably right. From proper farming stock too.
You've probably heard this but I spent a lot of time as a youngster around and about the MacKenzie country,
home of legendary folk hero (sheep stealer) James MacKenzie and his dog Friday.There are a huge number of tales and myths about them but the one I heard as a kid was MacKenzie would send out Friday and then bugger off down the pub on a Saturday night meanwhile Friday would steal a flock of sheep and drive them way up backcountry,the farmers who lost sheep knew he was up to something but as he was in the pub all night couldn't pin it on him,although he was caught later.Pic is the statue to working dogs at Tekapo (though it's universally known as MacKenzies dog).Baronage-Phase

Am frozen..
I've a head cold and am shivering with the cold.
I've turned on the heating and feel awful for caving in......but the hot water bottle was not hacking it and neither were the extra blankets over the duvet.
Feeling guilty.
But warm.

Amused to see this thread. Sort of. Gf has heating on today. Bitch. (Hey. Term of endearment. She calls me tosswank. We regularly call each other cunt. 24 years and going strong.) I can live in cold, she can’t. We live in west Wales. It’s pissed down most of today.
Bring back surreal summer.

Shorts and t-shirt here too. Windows wide open and perfectly warm in Hertfordshire. Still doing the 7am travel to work in a shirt. Phone app suggesting 18° outside

Windows wide open, not been a reason to wear anything other than a coat this side of summer.
Mind you I barely put the heating on in the winter.

Who am I to say you're wrong
I have started to wear a hoody on my stroll to work but it is normally off before the first mile.

Just wearing a shirt is boiling after walking for ten minutes - how do you not die of sweat loss riding a bike in a fleece in this heat?
As an aside, its easy to spot the southerners round here as they're all wearing coats and jumpers. FFS.

Called away to another place
I did feel a bit cold on the sofa this evening. Our heating is controlled centrally in the new flat so won't come on for another few weeks. Then it'll be on constantly for about 5 bloody months 
We'll just have turn the radiators down. Well OH will cos I love the heat

I did put the heating on a few nights ago, just unbearable being persecuted by the cat for warmth. Today and most of the recent days, 17 degrees outside, no jumper, shorts and socks. Cornwall.

Rub deep heat on the cat - problem solved.
Its bizarre that anyone feels cold - it's still excessively hot.

If you fancy a few days in Cornwall rubbing deep heat on the cat, I'll be happy to call an ambulance

Same here, I can't see me putting the heating on for weeks yet, mind you this place tends to retain heat, being well insulated & double glazed.
