Anyone else put the heating on?

Turned the storage heater on in the bedroom last night, it's always the last one to go on and I was concerned I'd get too hot overnight. I didn't over heat, so the chilly season is definitely here.

Bah! We caved in. Although having a combi boiler put in in a couple of weeks, so hope it's not too cold then, as it'll be off for a few days!

the heating has been on and off here for a few weeks. I set it to come on for a couple hours in the morning (makes getting the boys up easier) and then for a few hours in the evening too. The hot water is set to come on all year round and the heating is not often on more than the hot water.

Gave in over the weekend and had heating on for an hour or so in the evenings. Only set thermostat to 16 degrees though and thats plenty warm enough.
Stick it on for an hour in the morning while I get up and dressed so that its warm when nipper has to be pulled out of bed (cos believe me, she won't get out of her pit voluntarily!!!)

My oil heater in my bedroom has been on for about a month now haha! Its been on sinceI got back from work - around 9am this morning, and I'm not gonna be turning it off until tomorrow probably. Its on quite low, but I live in an attic with no double glazing and lots of space between the roof (which is quite old and has gaps in it) and my wall inside the roof, which I don't think is insulated. When I got back from work this morning, the carpet and bedsheets were damp

I wish I had a thermostat for the heating in the house, I have really bad circulation and struggle to keep warm, even in warmer climates. So winter in the UK is never a good time. My feet feel like ice bricks right now and I've got 2 pairs of socks and a heater on

Spent the last week where the only 'heating' is the fireplace in the kitchen, but we only had fires first thing in the morning. Lowest overnight temp was around 9 degrees.
Next visit there, we will probably want fires morning and evening, plus hot water bottles, plus extra blankets. It gets chilly up there at Christmas!
