Well, it's a bit warmer this morning, and actually I didn't put the heating on. Sorry to have misled you all! But winter IS coming. Coming I tell thee!
Not cold at all in London. Still had all the windows open all night, back door open till about 10pm and the first thing this morning. Still walked to walked in a sleeveless top. No coat or cardigan required yet.
I generally don't put the heating on till about November.
Yes yes. I'm sure this thread get's started every September and someone is going to tell me off. But I'm fecking freezing! There's an R in the month, so damn it, I'm sticking the heating on. Who's with me?
I never switched mine off in the first place. I rely on something called a 'thermostat'.
It actually triggered the pump last month and once or twice back in June I think. It didn't this morning though. Downstairs temp was 19 degrees and thermostat doesn't kick in until 18 degrees in the morning.
If there is a spider expert on here, could they please explain what the hell has happened to spiders over the last couple of years please? Not only have the grown significantly but they seem to have lost all fear of humans too :eek: a couple of weeks ago, I lay in bed reading my book and saw something out of the corner of my eye - there, on the carpet, was an enormous spider with big thick legs just looking at me! I got out of bed to swat it and it didn't even move! Not one inch What has happened to spider etiquette - they're supposed to run off and hide so you can't actually swat them.
By the pricking of my thumbs, something evil this way comes ...

Last year a huge spider reared up at me when I went to catch it.:eek:

Thanks for that, I will have to get one of these new fangled thermostat things :rolleyes:
Actually, I have underfloor heating in my kitchen and living room and when the heating's on the pipes stay warm regardless of what the stat says. The only way to make the floor completely cold is to turn the heating off. So there

Nice. A holiday cottage I use has that coupled to an underground heat pump and it works well. Certainly makes a difference to stone flooring

I do like my underfloor heating, so nice underfoot in the winter and don't have to lose any wall space to pesky radiators. Just wish we could have it in the whole house but it's a b*tch to retrofit!

No, they will flock to your house for the warmth.:p

I have at least 4. 3 in the living room. 1 above my head in the spare room as I type.
One is about to be evicted. His web is on the window I'm just about to have replaced.
Do you live in a greenhouse?
