Terribly British whinge

[karen2205]

I can't control the temperature in my flat very easily. On Friday evening it was 17 degrees, yesterday it was 21 degrees. I suspect a major part of the reason I had such difficulty getting to sleep on Monday night was that I was too hot. I'm now tempted to try turning the remaining heaters off, but am loath to do it too soon in case it goes cold again.

I'm not saying 'I'll never live somewhere with storage heaters ever again', but certainly gas-powered central heating will get a higher spot in my list of things to consider before moving somewhere.

*nods* - I'm going to steal my Mum's fan heater before next winter (there's not really a lot of point right now) and see how it works. Sometimes fan heaters make the air very dry which causes me to cough a lot and I'll have to add that into the mix when deciding to go for it or to stick with the storage heaters.

/me nods. We have a similar issue with fan heaters and indeed storage heaters. A useful trick is to put cups of warm water around the room or on top of storage heaters which will evaporate and increase the humidity...
