cold weather

No problem with the cold, I like it, I live the winter, roasting showers and toasty fires, literally one of my favourite things to do is stand in front of the fire, comfort food. I hate the damp though, I wish it would just be frosty and be done with this rain crap.

Also my house is crapilly insulated, it's going to kill me to buy oil because I feel like its such a waste, but I'm going to have to do it soon. Also can anyone tell me why they stopped putting back boilers in houses? They were the handiest things ever, we had one in my home house and I really miss it, best of both worlds, lovely fire and warm rads, I hate central heating.

The issue is not so much the cold for me rather its the damp in the air, which just makes it feel that bit worse.

Because 'Jaysus, you won't need that when you've the central heating'. My parents insisted on keeping theirs and they see the benefits in winter; the house is always roasting and the water is scalding, and all for the cost of the petrol to haul the wood home.

What cold? It's wet rather than cold (and that affects me more than the cold)

I've actually gone from a big North Face parker, back to a hoodie and a vest jacket over the last couple of days.

If people think its cold now, wait till its January.

Still in Tshirts so far but beginning to notice the change. Normally do a 5am run every morning for an hour and have not really noticed it getting cold enough to justify changing my outfit to a more winter orientated one just yet.

Bitter lads.

It's feckin' bitter out there.

I always think of homeless people and how hard it must be for them in this weather.

How is everyone coping with the cold weather?

I myself don't mind it beem cold. The best about the cold is going to a cold bed and it warming up from you body heat.

Pssssssssst. Electric blanket;)

Pretty cold now - fecking nuisance trying to heat the kitchen-living-room. Rest of the gaff is nice n' toasty though. And at least this is actual cold and it's dry, rather than that smelly damp.
