    Yeah I found a thermometer good. I got in last night and it was 15 in the front room (cool I think because of the rain). popped the heaters on for a blast and had the one in the bedroom on all night
  • Ok sitting here in 2 pairs of socks, hoody, and with a blanket on my legs (hooray for the Ikea fleecy throws!) And it's only 2pm, how mad is that.

    And the joke is, I got in last night from work at 10.30pm and was fine. Madness. I still refuse to have it on though! Well done on everyone for this challenge

    Will not put the central heating on at all this year ,I have a multi fuel stove in the back of the house which heats downstairs and also heats the bed room above ,in the front of the house I have an open fire which heats the room very well ,my bedroom has an open fire and I have been known to use it .
    My coal costs me about £200.00 a year but some of that is also used on my narrow boat .

  • My heating at home goes on when I get up and off when I go to work. I work for a local authority and the heating at work finally came on yesterday - rules are off from 1st May to 1st October. On means from some indeterminate time before I get in, until 10.00 a.m. By the time I get home at night I'm frozen and have to put the heating on at home again to warm up.
    Still I suppose it keeps the rates down!

    I had to put mine on today. Couldn't suffer it anymore and I have Raynaud's so I think I've done well to get to 2nd October! (That's been since mid-March without heating!)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hello

    My OH made me put the heating on today, the house was really cold and even with a jumper, snuggly slippers and a fleece I was cold. Going to see how it goes you never know there may be a late heat wave :D
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!

    It's pretty cold in here tonight. Got my jammys and robe on, and a blanket on my lap. But no way am I getting in the bath without putting the heating on- just for half an hour lol!
    Oh, what do I do?
    Put the heating on now and have a bath in a bit, or set the heating to come on at 6 in the morning and have a shpwer when I get up?
    I think if I have a bath now, I'll be cold tonight.
    If I shower in the morning I'll be cold on the way to work???????:o :o:o

  • oh my goodness! i am SOO cold..i havent put the heat on at all this year...and i cant bring myself to start..but im just soo cold tonight..

    maybe its the listing of random crap on ebay that is numbing my soul!! im going to have a glass of vino!!! yes that should help i hope!!! lol...

    is it bad if you dont put the heating on? will it make the house damp? we had a damp proof course done about 6 months ago..so i would like to think the house wouldnt get damp from not putting the heat on....

    or maybe im just trying to convince myself that i "should" put teh heat on....NOO dont do it vinaka...reach for the woolies instead....

    thanks everyone!
