SURE, WE’VE HAD a bit of sunshine and the temperatures are humane, but let’s not get carried away. Sunnies and shorts? Wind your neck in.

Here are some signs that you’re so over winter.

1. You’ve taken the electric blanket off your bed

You’ve even given it a little hoover and a spring clean in the process. It’s noticeably harder, but sufficiently cooler. Farewell our fleecy friend, you have served us well.

3. You’ve switched from fleecy pyjamas to a t-shirt

That sweat isn’t just from the surprise bonus spring colds you’re getting. Penneys are even selling their shorts sets now, score.
