I am like that .. I mean like your SWMBO.

My SWMBO however likes it warm and hates me ... :-)

Always complaining .. I thought it showed that you were a proper man!

Oh I know what I want for Christmas .. A fire alarm linked to a computer.

When the alarm goes off it triggers a telephone call and email and txt
message.

Is this invented?

No - because I like to be comfortable when I'm at home (21deg ish) but my
lovely wife considers 18/19deg to be "like an oven", has to have
"fresh air"
all the time (i.e. windows open in the midst of winter day and night - even
if the ruddy curtains are blowing horizontal) and if I dare to put the
heating on then it gets turned off and I get told to go put a jumper on!

The only reason I manage to get 18deg is because I removed the "frost
stat"
link on the back of the CH thermostat - before I removed that she could
drop
the temperature setpoint to 6deg!
