I've been gazing longingly at my hot water bottle for several days now, but have so far managed to resist the temptation to fill it this early in the autumn. But I did put the electric fire on for an hour last evening as my feet were so perishing cold! Summer? What a wash-out.

I must say the cat has taken to sitting beside the radiator glaring meaningfully at me but I still refuse to put the heating on. He can sit on my knee if he's that cold. DH is harder to accommodate though!

Just about refrained from digging out winter weight duvet and as I'm wearing a fleece and socks I guess I should have done so when changing the bed this morning.
I might just as well put away summer clothes too sad, most of which have remained unworn this so-called summer.
CH is on low......and it seems really early for that, usually do it in October.

Same here. I've had the fire on in the mornings and last night I too swapped the duvet over to the winter one. I bought two new pairs of sandals in the Spring, and I've not even worn one pair yet, the other pair hardly at all. I was shivering as I got in the shower this morning shock.
I've given up waiting for summer to arrive sad

I haven't switched on the heating but I have got the throw out of the airing cupboard and sit with it over my knees in the evening!!

No heating yet but I have put away my summer skirts and wore a cardi to go out yesterday.

We have had our CH on for several days now with the thermostat turned down.I hate to get cold as it takes so long to warm up again.I do agree with you I think we have mostly had a dismal summer.

I know what you mean. I've been eyeing up my fleece and Ugg slippers but can't bring myself to succumb to Autumn quite yet. Besides the shivering uses up calories!

As I sat on the sofa yesterday evening I watched my feet turn a delicate shade of mauve. So I put the heating on, this morning I have put the 10tog duvet back on and I've just packed the summer clothes away. Fed up with it!
