You often comment about how cold you are. You either live in a place that is 1)damp/permanently in the shade/draughty, or 2)you have poor circulation.
1)......move/insulate
2)......alcohol.

Its the old style 9 inch brickwork so no insulation as no cavity , its always cold in the house even in the summer its cool . Circulation is a problem , thats why i have thermals on and a thick jumper most of the year :( My ears are turning blue :D

Is that right? I thought your body heated up to process food and alcohol.
My brother in North Yorkshire has started feeding his log burner.
9 inch brickwork walls. Can't they(at much disruption) be insulated by having false walls inside? No grants available?

A rumble with Mrs EMD (or her sister) will soon warm you up. :)

Of course your body heats up, that's the whole idea. Plus, it thins your blood, aiding circulation.

Heating? Not put the heating on since probably May here? Maybe even earlier. :)

I usually turn the central heating off at the end of April. However this year it was early July before I flicked the switch I'm seriously considering turning the fire on tonight It's getting rather chilly. Has it been a cold summer or is it just me getting old and feeling the cold? :-\
-
Heating not been on here since late February,nowhere near cold enough yet to think about turning it on.
-
Might turn on the gas fire at Newent tomorrow night, as it's forecast to get chilly at night.
Then again, I'll probably have my beer coat on....

We've had the fire on in the front room for the past few evenings :(

When your newly built dry stack is all chopped an full, burning it too soon seems a crime.

Swmbo won't allow the heating or fire on unless either the budgie turns itself into an inanimate ball of fluffed feathers or the dogs begin to show signs of frostbite in their nether regions! It matters not what state of distress i'm in, she just tells me to man up & remember the days when I was 'Watch on Deck' chipping ice from the Superstructure, 'cos I live on 'Easy Street' now! ::) ;D

I right mix of coffin dodgers.
When we TUPE'd back from HP, our new management stated concerns about average age. So what did they do? Started to really pick on the youngest, me included, to piss them off. Then wonder why so many younger people left. Retarded idiots running the place.
Then they replaced those that left with people over 45 ;D.
