Brrr...

[Diflower]

We have added a thin blanket on top of the duvet cover, but no duvet as yet.
The mornings and evenings are a bit chilly but not indoors, there won't be any heating on here for quite a while. The year before last we hung on till very nearly November, last year it did get very cold much earlier in October though.

you don't even have a duvet on the bed yet

I have a duvet all year round; admittedly a thinner summer one at the moment, but come October / November I put the winter one on. That combined with the company of the cats makes winter quite snug and warm (and when it's really cold I have my trusty hot water bottles )

It is a bit brrrr! isn't it?!
We never change duvets, it just gets kicked off if it gets too hot.

We're like you Ria - duvets all year round, and I shan't be long in changing the summer one over as I was chilly last night even with jammies on

Di you and Bb must be hardier souls than we are

I might manage with the summer duvet and a fleece blanket for a week or two, but I keep looking at the winter duvet in its cocoon and am sorely tempted to give it its freedom on some evenings.

Di you and Bb must be hardier souls than we are

We must be mustn't we
It's usually me that's hotter, he wiggles my way for a cuddle if he's cold
And we both sleep naked almost all the time too Any clothing is only for when it's sub-zero, he might wear a t-shirt, I have a t-shirt-type nightie thing.
I put socks on sometimes, cold feet don't let you get to sleep, but then take them off in the night
Our duvet is only 10.5 tog too, but far too warm for summer

Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Thats it - summer is officially over.

For the first time since May I went out of the house in shoes instead of my Birkenstocks.

Its all down hill from now on.

Debih, I've got a pair of these birks for the winter: (sorry link is a bit long)

they are meant to be for the house only but I often head out in them if I'm only visiting my brother. They are so very very comfy

Di; no wonder you're hot in the summer with a 10.5 tog duvet; that's what my winter one is (admittedly feather so maybe just that extra bit warm). My summer duvet is a 4.5 tog and you're meant to button the two together in the winter to make it a 15 tog but that's too much even for me

[debih]

Oooo - I like those Ria.

I tend to go for the Ugg style slippers for winter. I have looked in town and they don't have any in yet (admittedly we only have Sainsburys, Peacocks and M&C for me to look in...........)
