Stab at the clutch pedal and see if that makes it feel better. If so it's your Master Cylinder seal not sealing well. The seal is an umbrella seal that expands with pressure. So if stabbing it with your foot can make it seal better.

Am I correct in thinking you are not losing any fluid?

Well if pumping it makes it better it has air in it. If stabbing the pedal makes it high it's a bad master cylinder seal.

Just a shade off topic but changing the tranny fluid to syncromesh helps keep things smooth when the temps get cold.

An off topic response... syncromesh is already in!
