Slight regret in not putting the storage heaters on last night, with outside temps a bit warmer, might need to do a short blast of the space heater.

I wasn't going to put mine on either, but then I thought it would have to work hard again over night to recharge the blocks if I turned them off. So two storage heaters on, set to 15C NIGHT/17C DAY. Used around £2.65 by 11am in the morning, compared to £13 last year on old storage heaters :)
 
Well the rain came and washed the snow away. The first night in over a week not to drop below freezing (just). Forecast for the weekend looks relatively balmy with the mercury getting into double digits. It does look like its going to be wet and grey for the best part of a week, I suppose it's back to normal.
 
Nice to get some blue bits on a bad forecast day

Made an investment into a £2 hot water bottle from home bargins (2L) this morning.

Why didnt I do this sooner?
Filled it twice since 10am, lasts for about 5 hours before the heat is "warm" but it's so nice having it under my dressing gown. Cosy.

Get this instead! 100w at max power, shuts off after so many mins while remaining warm. I use it every night even helps me sleep, migraines, back pain the lot :)

I had ‘fun’ this morning. Even though I have a heated windscreen it freezes bad on the upper right of it. First can of de icer ran out. Found another can with its nozzle missing. Tried swapping the nozzle from 1st to 2nd - nope.

Got back into my home and found another can. By that time more ice appeared
 
"Yellow rain"

There was a yellow snow warning on the BBC last week :D

"Yellow warnings for snow and ice will remain in place in areas of Scotland and north east England until Thursday."


Had to be careful googling BBC Yellow Snow :o
