Dusting off the air con unit! - heatwave next week!

We've got a fan and even I'm sleeping under just a sheet (when I usually like to be snuggled up) this humidity is a killer, hot I can deal with humid is just horrid

I love my air con!

I have 2, one in the front room and one in the bedroom. They are the best things we ever bought. I have one of mine 7 years too - still works brill - it was worth the money. I don't care about the electricity cost, its worth every penny ?

They dry out the air too, so its not humid in the house. The only problem is that it's so nice in here I don't want to go out!

18? Pah! Its bearly getting below 25 at night here atm. Luckily our air con got fixed 2 weeks ago! I didn't think i'd use it but its been 34deg during the day for 2 weeks now.

Never really gets humid down here on the coast - have actually found the night-time very comfortable of late. Having the window open is enough to keep the whole flat cool. Only draw back is the random shouting kids in the street behind our house.

Gingey - know where you're coming from. I have very vivid memories of hot summers in Melbourne when i was a teenager. Bloody horrible when it didn't get below 29 deg at night! And we didn't have air conditioning in our bedrooms. I used to press my face against the flyscreen on the window to see if i could feel any cool air... nuttin'.

My little boy's bedroom was 31 when he went to bed at 8.15 last night and still 28 at midnight. Damned stupid house with it's heat retaining qualities....sigh.....
