I lit the fire today it was so cold in Palmy. I have also made DH plug the electric blanket in and turn them on. I HATE the cold. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Wimp? HA! it's freezing here. I must be a wimp too them cos we are all ruggedup, the heater has been on (turn it off once kids in bed) they went to bed in winter jammies, and i have just gotten out all of their winter clothes and sorted through them this arvo.
Not a wimp - last week it got so darn hot again, and now, stupid weather, just turned so quickly. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Electric blanket will have to go turn mine on now...... ------------- Ann

It was so nice when I got up at 5am to feed Josh. I turned the fire back up and it was so warm. Once he went back to bed I put more wood on it and turned it down again. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I lit the fire yesterday afternoon... and kept an eye on it through the night (every time I got up to one of the kids I checked the fire too) and it hasn't gone out yet... mmm, toasty warm! The lounge has been between 27 and 30 degrees since I lit the fire - as compared to the 7 to 16 degrees outside! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

We watched LOST in bed last night, then I sent hubbie into the freezing lounge to watch Prison Break. I wore Jeans to work today for the first time in I don't know how long... I hate the wind, and these old villas just don't keep the warmth in  Need to get firewood very soon!!! ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
