Is your heating ON or OFF?

I can't decide whether to put ours on tonight or not. I was cold earlier on, and it's forecast to be cold tomorrow and get colder throughout the week, so I was going to put it on, but now I'm warm and thinking it might not be necessary after all. Poxy storage heaters!

Still no working boiler..so its off but not intentionally. It's not too cold, although it will be by tonight.

Hope you manage to get it fixed soon. We just had a new boiler fitted after nearly two weeks with no ch or hot water was not fun.

Still off here - teens are starting to growl about being cold - waved jumpers in front of them as a hint that they might want to wear more than pants around the house - appears to have worked for now

Sounds like my Oh,I threw him his dressing gown this morning which did shut him up.

Milder here on the south coast, thank goodness. Raining but a bit warmer, so no need for heating at the moment. And I only have 3 layers on, so that's an improvement, I suddenly look slimmer!

Our heating is on now and it feels a little bit too warm to me!

Thanks Polly, it has been fixed today
So heating is ON On ON!!

Talking about heating- i am a self employed cleaner, and this 1 house i go to is MASSIVE (very much 'how the other half live') and there is nobody there during the day when i go. but they have their heating on FULL BLAST all day! :eek: The house is empty..i dont get it!? I understand that with a house like theirs (£1.4m) that then may not need to worry about heating costs, but what a waste of money!

Have tasked OH to go and price up a remote control thermostat, as DD kept on changing the temp to thermo nuclar last winter - cost a bloomin fortune. Remote control jobby should pay for itself this year, as long as we hide it from DD

My husband just bought one of those. Our heating is set at 21 comes on at 6 and goes off at 11pm. I'm here all day and was switching it off in the morning and only putting it on in the evening but this new fangled device is confusing me and I am not sure I should be meddling with the boiler now. Our bedroom radiators are turned off and all the radiators seem to be cold most of the time. Although its set to 21 the temperature seems to stay at 19 with this thing. We were toasty before but I'm a cold person and am shivering. Still, at least we are saving money.

Got my fire a light now and its so cosy on this damp, dank evening, even the dog is happy to lay in front of it after his bath an hour ago...............

I put mine on for half an hour earlier just to make sure it was still working. Set the thermostat to 18 and let it go, when the boiler turned itself off i turned the heating down and opened the door... far too warm!
