Winter, so it must be cold

So, like a typical pom, I regularly complain about the weather - it's too hot, it's too cold. It doesn't snow. But most of the time I'm just doing it to keep up apearances.

However, this week (now I'm back from Europe) - IT IS COLD!!!

Lets put this into perspective, in the hallway at the moment - it is 14degrees
In the bathroom, after a hot shower - it was 17degrees

Outside it has been down to about 4degrees in the last couple of days - peaking at about 14d on a sunny day (which today wasn't).

We don't have central heating. We don't have double glazing. I have now blocked the cm sized gap under the front door. The oil filled heater hardly seem to make a difference (except to the electricity bill!)
