    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Was on for 10mins this morning, but have turned it off again now.
  • Ours has only been on a few times so far. I did set the timer to come on in the morning for an hour to make it warm to get up and make sure the towels were dry, but then it seems to have warmed up again so it went off. We have started putting candles on in the lounge at night, it makes it cosy and warm. Plus the oven is now being used most nights so that is left open to throw the heat out.
  • A bit cooler now (62.1f), so shirt staying on, but heating staying off.
  • Still off here but I do have my winter dressing gown on! Still not cold enough to put the heating on yet.
    My secret fantasy is having 2 men....
    1 cooking and 1 cleaning.

    The gas fire is on. We have returned home from a break and the central heating is not working. Whilst we were away we had underfloor heating throughout and it was lovely. Feeling the chill a bit tonight.

    Currently off.

    We had it on for a while a few weeks ago when it was cold, bleak and wet.

    However, for the last couple of weeks it's been off.

    However, the radiators are on, so when the hot water kicks in, it warms the radiators, giving some heat for a while to warm the house.

    This has worked well, as it has been quite mild.
