Soooo Cold! FREEZING THREAD!
 
Ok, anyone else freezing their nuts off? I'm sooo cold, I'd forgotten just how cold the winters get here. I'm sure it's got to be below zero out there ;) I'm all rugged up in jeans and a hoody, quite possibly need gloves and a scarf (pref gloves with the string on so i don't lose them)! So so cold! Again, I'm cold, anyone else cold? Anyone else got heaters or extra blankets? Shivering now. I can feel the flu coming on :p

I've got a lovely wood burner in my kitchen/dining room. I'm as warm as toast :D

Ummmmmm, maybe I can set fire to something? Just about to dash round house with vacume, that'll warm me up!

Hoovering!, my least favourite thing next to Ironing.

Last winter I spent the whole time wrapped up in a BIG fluffy blanket :D (well except when I went out that is ;) )

Last winter (in Aus) I invested in some of those lovely fleecy blankets! They're not working this time. Mind you even in the summer at 41 degrees I sleep with a duvet on. I'm little and feel the cold! Can I borrow your wood burner?

I feel the cold quite bad too because of my crappy thyroid problem :frown: so no, you can't have my wood burner, but I'll lend you my blanket if you like :D

Was 21 yesterday, felt vaguely nippy. Back up to 24 today, which is nice. My big problem is that the sea temperature is falling rapidly - currently about 20 degrees... :(
