Well it got down to minus 10 in the village last night. Heating on full blast and the bloody fire, dreading the next energy bills!!! :curse:

For those of you that are on your way to the other side soon, good luck and send us some sun, please.

I'm in Darlington in County Durham...equally cold! So cold it pains me to have to leave the house in it!

Central heating on constant, cup of tea every hour, and electric blanket on my bed at night

Much the same, but I find that the more I drink to warm up the more I have to visit the bathroom during the night - when the heating is not on
Here's looking forward to the thaw.

Very true! Hopefully within 2 weeks it will be warm Oz summer day to chill out on before starting work....

I will probably not have any fingers, toes, ears or my nose left by then however. As I suspect they will have fallen off due to the cold weather...

It was -6c at 5.30pm here on the way home from Asda
I am too scared to find out the actual temperature now
And it is even worse when Dad rings from Melbourne telling me he is going to Fiji for 4 days

Very cold here in Dorset but also very bright sunny days - I love it

Just pull on your coat,gloves and scarf and enjoy the sunshine

Hubby said it was -7 when he was driving to work at 9am this morning & the weather forecast is for about the same tonight (where in Bedfordshire). I'm not looking forward to doing the pre-school run again tomorrow as it's a mile walk each way & I struggled in the snow & ice just to get up our driveway with the buggy earlier.

Was chatting to a mate on Perth earlier & he was rubbing it in about the lovely weather & trying to persuade us to move now. Wish we could but not feasible just yet

It'd be great if the world's weather would just average itself out. Last night at 8pm it was 33C here - unbearable and inescapable without aircon (the DH wont get it put in!). Yesterday I would have killed for a minus 10!

Was just reading Perth is expecting another 37c 10 days of heatwave already, not sure I would call that 'lovely' . Imagine dragging kids around in that every day

And just to widen the perspective, we have family in midwest Canada who've been housebound for the past few weeks and dealing with temps that have dipped as low as -35 degrees. Apparently it's much better now, averaging -16 to -20 (!)

Got in my car at 15:30 yesterday, it had been sat in the sun since 08:30, the thermo read 45°C, I couldnt even sit back in my chair till I blasted it with the aircon

Damson

Our snowmen are still going strong from Monday am with no sign of chilling out yet!

Here's something to warm you all up:

Loving the heat. Hit about 36 here today. Spent some time at the beach in the morning, then did a couple of jobs, came back swam in the pool. The sprog's been out on his skateboard (lotion, hat and long-sleeve T, natch) and has been camping out in the garden at night. We've swapped the duvet for a single sheet and have no problems sleeping, with windows open front and back of house to get the breeze passing through. I'd sooner disembowel myself with a wooden spoon than put up with minus 10 degrees.
