Good morning ladies! I hope you are all keeping warm! Currently -1 here and a huge frost. How is it where you guys are? Yesterday it was -4 when I was driving to work. How do you like to stay warm on these extra cold days? :-)

woke up to 4 degrees, which is very cold for where I live!  The homes up here just aren't built for the cold in the same way they are further south.

Overstayed in my warm bed, threw myself through a shower and into a warm snuggly hoody and jeans.  Hair in a bun bc I'm too Friday to dry it but it's too cold to leave it down and wet lol.

I might have to sneak away for lunch mushrooms, they're my usual cold weather go to

I made the mistake of turning my electric blanket on! Lol but I have to get up. I hate washing my hair in winter, definitely a messy bun for me today. I'm looking for one of those neck warmer things lol is it called a snood? That's where I feel the cold!

The ground was completely white here. I stayed over at work and got home at 9am. And then went to bed! It's warmed up a tiny bit now ...

I was actually thinking it wasn't as cold today as it was yesterday then saw a news article saying today's the coldest day of the year for Auckland.

I had the day off today and went shopping. Had a lovely time. It was chilly but I dressed well. I bought a warm jumper as we are going to the south island in a few weeks so need to have some warm clothes

We have my partners daughter coming today for the holidays so hoping the rain stays away, the forecast looks horrible for the next 5 days. It's not too bad today, sitting at 0 right now. Unfortunately it's hair wash day ugh.

Winter is well and truly here. That chill cold wind though, honestly.  All about the hot showers, warm pjs, blankets, hearty food and bed.

Totally set for winter now with lots of new warm clothes! The best purchase being a polar fleece neck warmer! omg I love it as my neck always gets so cold and it doesn't have any bits dangling down lol.

Amen. Its been freezing all day. Glad to be home watching Couples Come Dine with Me, and waiting for the Harry and Meghan doco. God knows why.

Did a half day at work and got home just in time for the thunder, lightning and down pour. Very winteresque, accompanied by an afternoon nap on the couch. Bliss!

It was 3 degrees when I headed to work at 7.30am. I cranked the heater, but it turned into a glorious day!

It was freezing here in Wellington today. It bucketed down with rain all day, and gale-force winds. It didn't break double-digits, and Met Service said it felt like it was much colder. Sigh. And it rained nearly all last week too! I'm starting to think that spring is never going to arrive!

I spent the day working in Timaru and it was nice there. It was warmish here too so I did a lot of work outside until it started to get dark. Great to be outside.

I must admit 3 days ago we bought fire wood and lit the fire! It was pretty chilly down here too. Today on the other hand is an amazing day and I'm stuck inside packing!

Lisa, I'm also in the need of some new denim shorts too. But I struggle finding ones that are well humble and have a bit of length to them lol

Yes! Cut up some old jeans you like the fit of. That's how jeans shorts always used to be made - "cut offs"!
