Is your heating ON or OFF?

It was cold today! It's very foggy and I'm glad the heating is on in my house.

Got home from work about 30mins ago and put it on.

We haven't had ours on all day and I have submitted our meter readings for gas and electric and for the last month it was £94.84. Does that seem expensive for a 4 bed semi?

Not to me, 3 bed terrace £151. Double glazed, full loft insulation, gas heating. Will give me a severe purse ache when the really cold weather comes.

Ceilings to the blessed moon though and single wall construction. And two kids and a OH that leave EVERYTHING on, and think we own our own laundry.

Been in since 5.30pm to find the place felt OK. Heating about to come on any minute now - 7.00pm - and will be on until 10.00pm.


Radiator set to '3' and Thermo set at 20deg.

Strangely no heating required this evening. It is a very mild evening 8 miles north of Glasgow.

fire on for an hour earlier on today and is back on now. It has been 11 degrees outside today and ok indoors for most of the day.

I dont like a hot bedroom so if it a bit chilly later I will put the electric blanket on

OFF, thanks to an electric blanket at bed time. So far running costs are a lot less than it'd take to heat my room
At most it works out at about £2 a week if I leave it on all night, which I have done on purpose to find out exactly how much it could get to.

I had to throw off my covers and turn it off the other night as I got too hot!.....that's unheard of on my room even in summer!

Mine are fairly well trained now, after a lot of nagging though! :rotfl:

We haven't had ours on today, not really been cold enough.

I have just given up with the nagging sadly, you have more backbone than me. Just drove me nuts doing all the shouty stufft.

Wander around now turning stuff down, turning stuff off and harrumphing a lot.

Still on constant throughout the day...but keep turning thermostat up and down as required so not actually on all the time.

Still no rads on upstairs as just not needed, in fact have had the windows open last couple of days and back door open until late.
