Heating on yet ?!?

clairewp

Not put mine on yet, even though it's been cold in evenings.Bought myself really attractive fleecy nightie (not) to wear in evenings and have a nice thick blanket
Last year hardly had heating on and still had a bill for £150 so god knows what its going to be this year.

I've found it a bit chilly in the evenings here over the last few days, but definitely not chilly enough to make me put the heating on. Was wearing a t-shirt each day until then, but now popped a sweatshirt over the top, and I'm fine. Usually have the back door open for a couple of hours a day too, so that the animals can come and go as they please. perhaps that's toughened me up a bit

All fired up ok but a couple were a bit cold at the bottom still and hadn't heated up to the same level as the others but they were the ones furthest away from the boiler.....if that means anything Too hard for me, I've made a note and will leave it up to OH, if not looks like the man from BG will have to take a good look on his annual inspection.

Good evening: You have 'sludge' in your central heating system...if you mention this to the BG guy, you'll get a very expensive quote for a powerflush:eek:.

My OH's time is booking up quickly...the start of the heating season is always good for business.;)
When our programmable roomstat hits 18 then we'll have heating but we're not there yet here on the 'sunshine' coast (the cavity wall and loft insulation helps).

I put mine on last night, just to test the ch system you understand. I bled the radiatiors and a lot of air came out of 2 on the top floor. I then increased the water pressure in the boiler to within the green zone so its all huncky dory now. I am giving in on cold, damp days as I am convinced my lingering sinus problem, post nasal drip and sore throat are linked to the dampness in the air. The house warmed up in 5 minutes and it felt much more cosy. Oh well, I reduced energy consumption to a minimum and that is easy in the `summer` months, now it`s time to dip into the savings pot again. I am only going on an as-needed basis at the moment. No need for auto yet

nope and it will stay off unless absolutely necessary as simply cannot afford to turn it on

I put my heating on for 2 hours last night and on for 6 this morning. I kept waking up in the night because I was so cold. Good job OH was on nights I have my pjymamas and thick wooley bed socks on, mmmmm. My nose was cold though and I couldn't do anything about that lol.- so on went the heating. Plus also I have a 3yr old (excuses excuses).

It is such a worry now though, you just darent put the heating on because of the expense - I so understand how worrying it is for the elderly. I worry to death about the g&e bill and I'm only 34.

I have only just started using a quilt again and still kick it off the bed some nights.
I have a number of stages to go through before my heating goes on, I keep adding a layer of clothes and depending on whether I am sitting around or active this means my heating seldom goes on before November and even then at a minimum setting.

I'm beginning to think I'm unnaturally cold, you all seem to be so strong at leaving the heating off. I put mine on for an hour last night and took a hot water bottle to bed. I also have a duvet, a thick throw and a cotton open weave blanket on.
