Seems grand when you come in, but ten minutes after sitting down you start wishing you'd put slippers on.

Ah, it's grand.
Irrelevant, I'm already wrapped up in my duvet.
2. Have you already reached for your 'sofa blanket' this year?
Yes
No

Under it right now.
3. Why don't you put on a warm jumper?
I already did, ACTUALLY.
Don't need one.

I'm wearing too many layers to fit another one on top.

5. Have you actively considered going to bed early because it's warm there?
Yes
No

I'm in bed right now
6. Who wields control of the heating in your house?
Me
My partner, who's strolling around in a t-shirt like a smug git

The Heating Tyrant and Lord Of The Thermostat, aka my mum/dad
7. Are they at home?
8. And finally: When I say 'bed socks', you say...
GOD YES (or 'WOOP WOOP'. Either or.)
Already in 'em

Meh, not yet
