Hi all
Not the most thrilling of threads but as I'm trying hard to cut gas and electricity consumption I'm interested to know what you guys have your thermostats set at over the winter?
I've got mine at 16 degrees at the moment but it's flippin cold and i've got two fleeces on :rolleyes:

Ours is at 20, and sometimes we up it to 21 for a little bit as we have a very cold house!Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

19 for mine but heating is only on for 3 hours in the morning and 4 in the evening.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

16!!! I live in a three bed terrace and even without the heating its 18 (and that feels cold!!!) You must have some very thick jumpers on!
Feel ashamed to say now that I have it at 22!!! Maybe i need to suffer the cold a bit more

I've got mine at 15-16, but haven't put it on timed yet, we just turn it on at about 4pm until my youngest goes to bed at 7pm. We have cavity wall insulation and good loft insulation so while it's reasonably mild the house stays warm for hours after the heating is off.
I try my best not to put the heating on during the day when the kids are at school, but it's getting hard. I've got a jumper and fleece on and my hands are freezing! I get a bit peed off sometimes that I'm in a situation where I'm so worried about the bills I end up shivering rather than putting the heating on, but then I persuade myself that this way I'm doing my bit for the environment and it's not really about money (yeah right :rolleyes: :rotfl:)0 -
