Hot N Cold

What do you row about? And that's row as in argue, shout and huff about as opposed moving through the water using oars. Well,  the top 30 argument flashpoints have been published in today's rags and there's quite a mix, of course there are the old favourites like not replacing the loo roll to who's got the remote. But there are a few healthy living ones on the list too, like getting kids to eat veggies, and on the flipside of that, stopping them from eating too many sweets too.

Now I won't bore you with the full 30, you can check the link above for that, but I will focus on one because it seems to play a part in most peoples' lives, the temperature of the house. Yup, arguing over whether to turn the heating up or down, is quite high on the 'beef' list and is a familiar one to me.

I bet this is the same old story in many households, where the blokes actually have an invisible housecoat, a bit like a beer jacket that allows him to be warm whatever, even if it's when he's just his pants. Alternatively, the ladies are blinking Baltic and told to throw on another layer. Okay, I know I have got a ton of woolly pulleys upstairs, but I don't necessarily want to wear them all at once, sometimes I just want to pad around barefoot in my PJs and be toasty, is that too much to ask?

Okay that's my whinge and moan over, I want to know about you - what's the most common argument flashpoint in your house, is it the hot and cold debate, and with that I'll leave you with Katie Perry.
