  • Anyone else put the heating on?

    I have been resisting, but it's wet windy and cold here today, and two young grandsons have just arrived wet and cold from school so it's on! Not for long I hope - just till everyone gets warmed up.

    An hour each morning- but lit the woodfire mid afternoon for the past few days.
    Yup- it's certainly Autumnal out there isn't it??

      I put it on the other week for an hour when my pregnant chum came over on a chilly afternoon; but otherwise not until Mid Oct!

        Our heating is on a thermostat, when it goes below a certain temperature, it comes on. Simple as. I refuse to freeze and be in pain just because the wrong month is showing on the calendar. Equally, if it's a really warm, sunny day in Feb., March or whatever, then the heating swiches off. Hurrah for modern technology

          A heater in the evening. Too cold and damp without one.

              It's been peeing down here most of the day, and the wind has changed direction, so, yes, the heating went on for half an hour to take the chill off. It didn't help that Mr. G. and his Dad were here for a couple of hours, and so the door was open a lot of the time - I think they were both born in a field!

                Not the heating (cos we don't have any) but did light the wood burner the other evening and that night it went down to 2C. Turned warm again now and having to throw off all the extras on the bed.

                      Heating is on. But we all have colds so it is just taking the chill off the house
                      Boiler was serviced yesterday so I am just checking it all works...

                          I'm normally tight with the heating, but I have a cold and a sore throat, I got wet twice today, had to sit in wet shoes all day so ... the bladdy heating's gone on for an hour just until I can get in bed

                            not yet- extra layers and a hot water bottle when it gets a bit colder. (unfortunately, this house doesnt have a fireplace or woodburner, or i would probably light it in the evenings, as i would gather fallen logs throughout the year, thereby saving money) i didn't put the heating on until the week before christmas, for the previous 2 years. as i am trying to live as cheaply as possible!!! ( it was demmed cold last year, and we nearly gave in!!) i am hoping to keep it off 'til end of january this year. actually- i had a fan on the last few nights, because it was so-o-o stuffy

                              Mine goes on (as it will in a minute) if I'm cold. I make no excuses, I refuse to be uncomfortable.
