I increased mine to 23.5 earlier, it's been coming on and off ever since. It's too cold if I can't wear just my trunks :naughty: happy birthday Maggy :rofl:

Your flat must be drafty, when was the last time you wore long trousers?

If I worked from home I think my heating would be set to 21-22c all day and evening.

What sort of a working from home job do you do, maybe a Nigerian scammer? :D

Funny you say about draft. The council want to insulate the walls, change the windows and do some other work to the building, roof may be, my front door has already been sealed shut! I get a cold draft from the kitchen but that's expected. You got my £6 or do you want my job as well :LOL:

So that explains why you put your heating on the tropical settings and prance around in shorts when at home, get the draft sorted.

Friday is Breakfast Roll day and that is where my £6 is going, so you won't scam me out of it like you keep trying to. ;)

My heating hasn't gone off even though I can roam in shorts and t shirt on my way to Tesco. Warmth is good. :tu:

My heating tripped on by itself for the first time today at 8.15am but only for 15mins, house is currently a pleasant 22c while I'm out at work.

I set my heat to 24°c the other day. Today it's proving to be the right temperature.

You're 2-3° higher than most people I suspect, but you did say your place is not very well insulated.

It's lovely and toasty. The draft from the kitchen and sunlight only hitting three sides on the building doesn't help but the council wants to do some work to the building so here's hoping for better insulation.

Do you still wear shorts and t shirt even it winter months inside?

Shorts and t shirt all year round inside and out unless I'm forced to dress appropriately due to some rare occasion. Loads of hoodies and gilets to keep me warm.

I guess with you wanting to wear shorts at home in the winter you can never complain about heating bills costing alot.

Surely you don't wear shorts outside in colder months?

All year round dude. I don't like trousers.

Very strange that is, you can't deny that. Lol

My New Zealand neighbour is also crazy and wears shorts and flipflops all the time until November when he flies back and spends 6 months there.

You may find you feel colder this winter seeing you're taking your bulky flab off.

Suddenly I feel rough! The horrors of my imagination. :shocked:

It was bad enough seeing King Charlies naked let alone our resident oompa loompa, make the image go away. :D
