absolutely, my reverse cycle is blasting out above my head as I type. I have washing overflowing from the laundry baskets and I even wore socks with my thongs to drive the kids to school today

My fingers are numb - now I remember why I left this place first time round. I hate the cold. I'm sure the kids will get a bit of a shock to go back to heat when we get to Dubai later in the month.

I feel like that I've gone back to the early 1970s.
We've now got hot water bottles.
How people can ever accept such crap houses I'll never know.

Why do they not have central heating here in OZ?
I could kill for some radiators in all the rooms
Radiators were not that expensive in B&Q.
As for open plan its losing its charm now its winter.

Re: Jeepers, how cold and miserable is Perth at the minute?
I've said this many times but many Australians think that houses need to have no insulation, poor glazing and gaps in the doors to allow the heat out in summer and that the price to pay is cold houses in winter!

Re: Jeepers, how cold and miserable is Perth at the minute?
We're lucky that the house we're renting is brand-new. It's got insulation as well a fully ducted reverse cycle air-con. Only need it on for about an hour in the evenings (after 8pm). And the nice doona I bought in the sales keeps us warm at night.
The house we're building will also have insulation and double-glazing. We'll definitely be toasty warm in there
