What slightly embarrassing lengths have you gone to to keep warm? |

What cold?
I’ve been going around in a polo shirt all day. Granted I had a long sleeve t shirt on underneath, a body warmer over that and a fleece lined jacket over that. Then for good measure a neck warmer and a thinsulate hat.
Snug as a bug in a rug  |

"Microwaved my knickers this morning "
Thank the lord for modern technology
My parents tell me of the days where they were sent to school with hot boiled eggs in their jacket pockets to keep the hands warm...as well as lunch bagged

"I know!
sacrificing style for comfort is so tough  "
Warmth before style always
I'm a sight in my well oversized anorak walking about the house (at least 3 layers underneath), sporting a stylish headband to cover the ears...I won't talk about granny's bloomers - put ye off forever more |

I was out on the mountains on Saturday. It was the equivalent of -12 with wind-chill. As the old saying goes there's no such thing as bad weather,just inappropriate clothing.
One of my hiking buddies tallied up what he was wearing and it came close to £1000. He hasn't thawed out yet.
My tally came to less than £100 and I was embarassed for him because I was as warm as toast. |

WFH and waking up now since the weather has turned has been bit more difficult. I have started wearing a dry fit beanie inside and it does help.
Plus base layers, hoodies, shirt. WFH no one sees me so I don't care. Since storm hit I've been wearing two hoodies  It's an older house so keeping it warm is difficult. So adding more layers makes sense. Plus sitting and not moving at a laptop you cannot keep warm naturally and you cannot concentrate when cold. |

"Women's tights are very warm on a cold day.
Back in the day everyone on building sites used to wear them under their jeans and overalls "

I used to drive a heap of shit van that had a broken heater. I’d fill up a few 2l mineral bottles of hot water before leaving home. They were super nice to hold on my lap and came in handy on frosty mornings when the screen wash was frozen. Winner winner!!! |

How do you walk with tights and boots over a dress?
I have my ways Yoser "
Sorry, should that read, “Tights, boots, and a jumper
over my dress?
Otherwise I have a vision of the tights going up over the dress and jumper, and wearing boots…… |

I might try it that way today but yes, my punctuation let me down. |
