Hi Dea

I didn't realise you were up so late last night or I'd of stayed around and I've missed you too

Thanks Cyn It feels good to be back at the moment. Just like coming home :-D

Brekkie looks fabulous Sylvia, I'm spoilt for choice

ermmmmm I'm rather peckish so I'll help myself to a full English and coffee

Yes - I WAS up late wasn't I ?? :-D

I can't remember when I last saw midnight but my body-clock is on the blink at the moment :-S - I get desperately tired around mid-day and fall asleep then I seem to get a 'second wind' in the evening :-S :-D

Anyway - I'm glad you have 'come home' !

How are you doing?

Dea x

I sleep with the heating on very low, in fact it never gets switched off until the weather gets warmer. Thinking about switching it off now as the sun is shining.

Toots <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D

I'm soooooooo glad you are back :-D


Sylv

So sorry to hear about your friend (((((hugs))))

Thanks Gins for the warm welcome :-D

Toots just missed you last night. Welcome back we missed you :-D :-D :-D :-D


Dea I can't sleep in a warm bedroom our radiator is never on not even in the freezing weather :-)

OH has mate over both shouting at the tv watching football :-(

I am going to sort through some old photos

Thanks Linda :-D :-D

Now for some of Sylvia's lunch, I have missed it

Roast beef without the horseradish with a little of all the veg. I'm going to be stuffed.

Cripes......been working all afternoon and Im still not anywhere near the end of it

Ive had enough now

I prefer a cold bedroom too.......it makes you snuggle down more..... :-D



Gins.....you've probably got what my mum used to call 'brain fag' :-D :-D


Actually, mental/emotional stress and work can be as tiring as physical work - if not more so sometimes.


Go for a walk - you'll feel tons better...... :-)


Or......watch the film that's on now..............it features talking dogs......... :-S :-S

Hi all
xxx




sun was shining

it's now clouding over ................ and it's only just after 9:30 am

I've refused to have an automatic thermostat ..... OH goes along with me.

We still operate it manually ......... so the heating doesn't come on until the first person awake decides it might be time to turn it on.

We actually have 4 thermostats! One operates the main furnace. The other 3 are for individual baseboard heaters for 3 rooms that are not connected to the main system, and are only set to above than 10C in winter if anyone is using those rooms.


We set thermostats in use to just under 20C for daytime ............. that means an effective temperature of about 22.

We turn them down to about 10C at night ............ OH turns down the main thermostat when he closes up the front part of the house at about 9:30 pm. I turn down the individually controlled baseboard heater in this room when I go to bed (any time up to about 1 am).

The only time we set any of the thermostats higher is if we are in a very cold spell lasting more than a few days .......... ie, -5C or below.

We then set them to about 14 or 15C ......... it doesn't take as long to warm up to our preferred daytime heat, but the night time temperature still isn't much above 10 or 12C in the bedroom.

We always have our bedroom window open at least 2" .............. it's a sideways slider not an up-and-downer.

The kitchen window is also usually open at least that amount, as is the second bathroom window.

Our en-suite bathroom window gets closed when the temp outside is below about +4C

I get a headache faster without a window open and fresh air coming in than I do with the heating. Heating on (as in a hotel where you can't it down properly) just makes me restless.

Since the new boiler was fitted last April, we have 'remote' controls for the central heating

I do use the remote's but I never have the heating on while we are in bed.....I cannot stand a hot bedroom, it wakes me up

Call me nesh if you like (The Northern and ex-Northern types amongst you will know what that means) but I have found that as I have got older I much prefer heat to cold. It is about 8C outside right now so I have just switched our central heating on.

Up until 14 years ago we lived in a house without central heating and I refused to have it installed because I knew that my wife would have it set to produce tropical heat. The irony was that when we decided to move house I had to have CH installed in order to attract a buyer.

On moving into our new house, driven by the same fear, I immediately had thermostatic radiator valves fitted to every radiator so that the temperature of each room each could be separately controlled. Nowadays my wife sets the thermostats low and I set them high again. :-D

Nesh.......what a fab expression :-)

'Nesh' ....''Fab' ...... - there are many people who would just not understand the language on here !! ;-) :-D :-D

Sylvia - that thermostat is set VERY high !! - Top temperature for us is 18 degrees - I couldn't stand it any hotter and I always have my bedroom window open all night even if it is 17 degrees below freezing !

Do you remember 'in the olden days' when you were little?

We lived in a little 2 up 2 down terrace with an outside toilet at the end of the back yard.......In the winter you had to break the ice before you could use it
:-D

The bedroom windows were always 'open' because they would not close ;-) and we didn't have many blankets so all the old coats and dad's army grey coat would be taken off the hooks on the bedroom door and put on top of the bed !

MY GOSH but they weighed a ton !! - I could hardly turn over :-D :-D :-D

Didn't wake up with a 'thick head' in the morning though ! :-D
