    Still off here. Got my thick woolly hiking type socks on and sheepskin slippers on along with a fleece. Determined to keep it off until November. Last years winter bill was astronomical - £600 for 3 months gas and electric. Just can't afford to pay it this year.

    Mines still off and I'm too lazy to get up and close the patio doors.

    Still off. I am now wearing a hoodie but no socks and nowhere near approaching time to get the slanket out so hopefully it'll be a while yet until I need to turn it on.

    CH still off but having the wood burner on most evenings, just a couple of logs mange to remove the chill fom the air and warm the fabric of the house. Hoping to stick to no CH until 1st Nov, see how it goes though, not going to make my family or myself suffer a lot of discomfort!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    I've set mine at 19 so sometimes it comes on before. We get up which is nice but hasn't been clicking on between 3 and 7pm, which it's set for in evening

    Ours came on at 6am and I've just turned it off.

    Had the CH on for an hour at 4am to take off the chill. Not planning on using it again for quite sometime...

    Have just read this: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/436170/Worst-winter-for-decades-Record-breaking-snow-predicted-for-November -.

    Hmmm that made interesting reading.....can't find any reference to snow in November anywhere else but then long range forecasts are difficult to make. I quite like snow.Well to be truthful, I quite enjoy extremes of weather - I know a bit odd ;)

    Wood burner on last night - mainly burning paper rubbish but it kept the chill off and I will light again later today.
