    Hardly on as we just don't need it. It has been on for just few mins 1st thing some mornings (not for my benefit I might add) and for baths in the eve. Our dehumidifier is on a lot though and that warms the place up well as well as removing damp air which makes the place feel colder. We make use of throws/blankets/cats on laps in the eve too.

    Modest modern semi, central heating still off.

    Running a 1kw electric fire in the lounge for two periods of an hour in the evening which at 12p a kw/h is costing us £1.68 extra a week, it takes the temp up to a cozy 21deg.

    Of course it has been pretty mild with daytime temperatures here still reaching double figures, once they fall below double figures it will be time for the CH, but at the mo really not felt the need to put it on.

    I look at it that the more I can save whist the weather is reasonably mild, the less the shock will be should what the USA is experiencing should hit the UK.

    Haven't run my heating since 2008 due to lack of money! Only comes on when my ancient Mum comes to visit. However, I live in a 1890s mid-terrace house with walls 18-20+" thick and with very good insulation on the loft (a benefit I got when on JSA).
    I get a lot of heat seep from my neighbours. And I have a lot of thick sweaters and a hottie, for the really cold evenings.
