A friend went through menopause and like me she was a huge fan of polonecks or anything that had a higher neckline, but once the hot flashes started she couldn't wear them for around five years... Even a crewneck T-shirt was too much for her !Yes, it’s the menopause.

Fair enoughCall me a selfish cow, but i won't care what happens weatherwise in the UK because I'll be in South Africa and on the beach while you freeze your doo-dahs off!
I’d love to go there one day

24C in London is way different to 24C in Sydney and I have no idea why! It’s perfect weather in Sydney but too hot in London. I don’t get it. I think it must have something to do with humidity.As a South African, 24C is just about warm enough to walk around in shorts & t-shirts. Anything below that and I'm shivering

It’s so bizarre reading the temps you guys are living in. It’s another hot day here, 42 Celsius and hot northerly winds which are scary because once you get hot temps and hot winds and no rain and dry undergrowth you get bushfires. And they suck.
The coldest I’ve ever known in my town is about -5 C and that was at night time. The hottest was last year when the temp one day peaked at 50 C.
I literally cannot imagine living in such a cold place. I imagine I’d love it for a little while and the novelty would quickly wear off.

I get the impression that most of you posts on this thread begin with "Fucking freezing!" your language is terrible for a lady of your advanced yearsFucking freezing, I want to lie in the fetal position with my 3 jumpers on and cry
I’m not joking I’m close to tearsit’s 12 degrees (lie) and tomorrow is predicted to be 7 degrees, I canieeeee cope
Try some exercises - that'll soon warm you up.

That is what I am now starting to miss.Another cold but very sunny morning. Had to break the thin layer of ice from the bird bath in my garden. Haven't had to do that in awhile.
One advantage of living alone is that I get to dictate the central heating
I have recently moved in with a very old friend of mine. We have known each other 30 years and we have bought a large house together. Unfortunately the heating wars have started.
The thermostat goes up and down like a whore’s drawers! Hoping to get a wood burning stove soon in the dining room, so that will warm the place up a bit. It’s an old cottage, bit draughty in places.

My winter dilemma is do I work at home wherever possible and go crazy like the last lockdown or do I go to the FREEZING COLD office but keep my sanity? If I do go to the office my hot water bottle will be coming with me

I'm sat wearing a scarf indoors. My kneecaps feel cold
Definitely an essential item in my house, no central heating, good to jump in a warm bed!Us too
Ooo how warm is that? Only have ours on 1, sometimes 2 if we forget to put it on
