Hi :hello:
the heating in my parents house is NEVER off!
Im trying to keep it off until October - however if the weather remains the same I may aim for November!:j Where there is a will there is a way - there is a way and I will find it :j0 -
tonight was the first night since summer i've thought, arghrgrh its cold, and last night I could feel the cold in the bedroom. Was blowing a gale outside and raining heavily.
First time the bedroom windows were condensated this morning too!
I refrained from turning it on until i'd got the official "MSE time to turn your heating on date" in true money saving style!0 -
Hopefully not until October or November, but it does get chilly here as we are high up and it gets so windy here.
For example right now the wind is whistling down the chimneys and making my feet cold. My body is OK though. I'll just have to put some thicker socks on
I bet it's actually warmer outside, besides the wind, as the sun is out and shining :rotfl:0 -
Still nice and warm in my house. don't know if it is the new cavity wall insulation, extra loft insulation I put up making the difference? the room temps have not dropped below 20c yet :TMortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j0

I haven't and managed to hold out until November last year.. but it was just me in the house with OH all day but this year we have the baby so I might not manage it. I do intend visiting people to take advantage of their heat instead.. sneaky! lol.
It is still 22'C+ in here so no need to.. I don't have the heating that high anyway! I am still wearing vest tops and no socks..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
I will reassess the situation on 30 September, which is the earliest I allow it to go on, and it will then go off latest 31 March. if you're cold, move around more, wear more clothes or use a throw and a hot water bottle. Cheaper to heat a kettle of water and cuddle a HWB than to have the fire on all night.
Can't understand these people who set their thermostats at 22 degrees and leave the boiler on all year.
