If I had a garage or a shed and it wasn't -2 at night, yeah brill.

Lounge? Sofa? Kitchen? bathroom? neighbour's bed?

I suggest that you should sleep in the garage tonight and see if she still complains tomorrow

It depends on your skin type, TBH, and history. Sun damaged skin is more prone to dryness than any other type, irrespective of your age. Basically both radiators and cold, dry air will wreak havoc on any skin type but especially dry/sensitive or combination.

This forum seems to have gone all metrosexual again.

Exactly, 23 degrees! Ours is set to 20 and Im sweating cobs. Missus always says its too cold though.

My missus put thermo on 18 than blasts the gas fire while sitting on a hot water bottle.

Basically, moisturiser is the only thing that will prevent bad skin during the winter.

Or being young/lucky. I'm both, my skin is pretty impervious to heat, cold, wet, dryness, over/under-washing. All I get is tiny blisters if I sun-bathe sometimes, which is a bit weird.

Got myself one of these.

The house goes upto 23 by the time I wake up and I tend to leave it at 20 in the evenings. SAtisfied!

"Here we have the best products on offer to ward off winter beauty woes" - remember when they used to put something like "Advertising Feature" on top of blatant shilling like this, so nobody was under the misapprehension that it was a news story?

17 in the morning for half an hour as everyone will leave anyway, evenings between 18 and 20 generally

I don't like having the heating on, it makes my skin feel gross. I'm glad I have been proved right!

Its the Wail!

Don't make her sit in the garden then. Let her in to warm up then back to the shed at bedtime. HTH.

[original PM]

gonna say - between 18 and 20 at most if still cold put on more clothes!

the other thing is that you have to 'air' the house regularly or the build of dust etc causes health problems
