No snow, or even frost here in Oxfordshire, a cold clear day, lovely really, although am wearing a thin fleece cardigan for the first time this Winter( it's a very warm one.)

Sunshine and cool rather than cold so far in SE.

No snow here in Wiltshire (and fervently hoping it stays that way!) and the heavy frost has cleared, it's just grey and cold.
No thermals yet but dug my vest out as a third layer- wasn't enough so now have a throw wrapped around me (trying hard not to succumb to putting the central heating on advance ?)
Have bought a couple of thin polo neck jumpers to layer up with shirts and thicker sweaters if it stays cold, and thermals ready and waiting!

I've just received my gas & electricity statements online. I pay by DD so always check that I'm not too much in credit - all OK as only a couple of pounds overpaid.

Scrolled down further and saw usage for the last quarter compared to the same time last year - gas is down 43% and electricity down 32%.

Hope it doesn't snow tomorrow - I'm working and don't want to be battling against the elements at 07.00 in the dark!

No thermals and no snow so far , maybe tomorrow and its supposed to be -7 tomorrow night which is COLD for us in the South..grin I found my snow shovel under 'stuff' in the garden shed and brought it down the garden outside the back door with my bag of salt in case it gets very icy in the drive. Oh and OH has the heating on low all day now which we haven't had to do at all so far this Winter.. I just turned it down a couple of notches as I just hate having the heating on all the time, he'll probably spot that in a bit and turn it back up wink

Have we all got our thermals on? and don't let's even get started on winter tyres now many parts of the country seem to have snow at last. ☃☃☃☃
