Wish I'd got some to switch on! Brrrrrrr.....

Cue song..3 degrees - when will I see you again...

Run out of jumpers then:D:D

Sorry to hear that Rod.
Energy companies now organising there Christmas parties.:D

Can't get any more on - the sleeves aren't wide enough - I look like the Michelin Man already :D

If it's cold again tomorrow, I'm off down the town - M & Co. have a huge fan heater just inside the entrance doors - if you stand under it for 10 minutes, it keeps you lovely and warm. Mind you, it does mean standing amongst the ladies underthings for 10 minutes, and you do get some odd looks :o

I was trying to hang on until the 1st December Freddie - but weakened under complaints, and threats of physical violence, from SWMBO and daughter :o

Tight wads in North Yorks as well:D

I ran a test on ours in the middle of last month and fired it up about a week ago. I think we have had a good run with the weather, but it did just manage to hit -1 at 04:00 this morning for the first time since the summer.

As a kid, I remember we always got the first frosts appearing by Bonfire night, so nothing much has changed.

At least yours fired up and didn't bang and crash and demand a new hallway radiator and central heating pump;):o
