Like ArtDecoGirly mine went on for an hour or so a couple of weeks ago when I came back from oop norf but not since. It's been a lovely day and mild evening, and am looking forward to the promised Indian Summer for Sept/Oct so I don't have to turn it on til later in the Autumn.0

Had the onesie on for a couple of hours the other day as felt cold, but no heating as yet.
I had just got back from swimming in the northeast coast sea...so not bad for September really, and had a right to be cold...!!
Plan is to see how long I can go this year without it on other than the towel rail so I have dry warm towels, and save money to pay more off mortgage.Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.0 -
Off again now although as others mentioned I had it on a few weeks ago when the temperature dropped. Gutted as my gas bill is already higher than it was last year.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0

Heating hasn't been on yet but I will have to try it out to make sure it's OK, I'll probably wait until I have some washing to dry on a rainy day
