Is your heating ON or OFF?

I put it on tonight because I could!!!!!

My combi boiler has been broken since I bought my house a few weeks ago and finally after 2 weeks of waiting for the part (a new switch), it is fixed. Hurray - I don't need a new boiler and the repairs were a lot lot cheaper than I thought. Besides no one has really lived in the house for a few years and it probably could do with being heated up for a few hours.

Had my heating on two nights running:eek: ... bit warmer tonight though so not bothered with it tonight!

Warmer! It doesn't feel like it in my house! Tonight is really testing my will power. And my circulation.

Hi gang, first post an all so hello! :j

I thankfully live in a very well insulated new house so the heating is still off.

The sitting room is on the 2nd floor, which is much warmer than the ground floor. According to my Oregon Scientific clock it's currently 22 degrees in the sitting room

I'm trying to see if I can hold out till November, that'd be excellent!

I used to live in an old farm house in York that had no central heating which was dreadful in the winter. The side door had a 1/2 inch gap at the bottom!

Hi Hefner, I am sat here with one long sleeved top on, a really thick jumper, tights, 2 pairs of trousers and a sleeping bag wrapped around me. No permanent heating on yet, though I have to put the bathroom heater on and tonight when I washed up I put the gas rings on for a bit of relief.

Hi Hefner, welcome!
Doing the ironing keeps you warma and is cheaper than cantral heating... also burns calories!
So.... anyone want my ironing to do so they can stay warm? You will be very welcome to it!

Happy shopper I can't believe you are wearing all those clothes, I am sat here in jeans and short sleeved t-shirt!

mine has been on for 3 days now , but in my defence each time was only for 1hr just to take the chill of the room

when i used to live in that farmhouse i used to regularly wear 2 pairs of jogging bottoms and a hat around the house

Whilst the house I'm in now even has 4 inch thick insulation on the roof hatch I'm hoping that I'll be in credit with the gas at the end of the year :money:

I tell my children to either put a jumper on or do 100 star jumps! - its not going on yet. All my work mates had it on though.

We have had the heating on but it's not on the timer YET! we are so lucky to live in houses with central heating and double glazing.

I remember as a child when we only had a coal fire, my mum used to put the solid oven shelves from the coal oven in blankets and put them in our beds to warm them. Then in a morning looking at the lace curtain effect on the windows made by the ice on the insides, and daring to put your feet out of bed and walk on the freezing cold lino. It made you get dressed quickly.
Mum and Dad have lived in the same house for 51years and have only just had central heating put in. Now they don't know how they managed without it for so long.

Now I'm the proud owner of a hot water bottle, which I'm going to fill and go to bed.
Goodnight....

Just having a hot flush so maybe not...........:rotfl:
