I 100% agree... :yes:

Then that works out well for you, great news :yes: Unfortunately for us my Hubby earns less here than he was in the Uk! & we spend more on shopping here....Doh! (P.S There are 6 of us)

Thank you so much ~ Clearly it appears that some of us live/d in colder houses than others :yes: Which is fair enough & if someone posted about their house being lovely & warm in the Winter here, I would say 'How lovely, you lucky thing' & mean it, because thats how I am :cute:

Must have been the warm air coming from outside on this wet, windy day :wink: Thank you TRH, I was asking for tips at the start of this thread :wink: & thanks to all those that have given me good advice....Currently extra layered up, wearing slippers & drinking hot chocolate! Oh & FYI, im well aware of the weather in the Uk, lived there for over 30 years! :yes:

FYI....For those that are getting confused :confused:I have been talking about how cold it can get inside the house, not outside

Isnt it funny how a statement about it being cold in their house, can attract so much attention! :laugh: Some people really do need to stop getting so defensive! Some people should just speak honestly, how can you go from stating 'my house is cold too' & then state 'my house is lovely & toasty'?? :rolleyes:

:notworthy: I am literally 'cold nosed' as we speak!

Thank you ~ Im glad you can see the point I have tried to make from the start! :yes: Some people seem to get all defensive & I have no idea why??? :rolleyes:

In your opinion... :wink:

How did it work out for you? :wideeyed:

My house is not a new build, cold seems to come through any little crack & down through the vents in the ceilings too... :rolleyes: Wish I had reverse cycle heating, my Kids are so cold when they have to crawl out of their duvets in the morning... :frown:

How do you manage to warm your house, without it costing a fortune? :unsure:

A meet up sounds a great idea....I have two under 18months :cute: Will check back on this thread for further info

We used to spend around £150/£200 p/w in Uk.....Now spend around $400 p/w in WA Im told if you really shop around, you can get much better deals, but in the Uk I only really shopped at Tesco or Sainsburys & here I only shop at Coles

Yeah, just as I am amazed that the houses here arent built for all weather conditions.... :wacko:

Hope this thread helps a little... :wink: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/western-australia/150017-if-you-have-friends-family-uk-stay-what-places-do-would-you-take-them.html

Thought it was a mild day for you in the Uk, so a Friend told me on the phone...:wink: Mayby a different area to where you live though? Yeah, its winter in Australia....Shame the houses arent built for it though!.... :frown:

Anyone cold?.....:ssign11:

PaulandDeb.....Looking at your avatar, makes me wonder if thats you whose been going round drawing 'balls' on the Kangeroo crossing signs?....:biglaugh:

What a fantastic post :notworthy: Really pleased you have settled so well
