    Off again today, I've been out with just a cardigan, no coat, as it's so mild.

    Not even thinking about it yet! We've got a calor gas stove in the room we sit in but as that room attaches to the kitchen we get a lot of heat from the cooker. The calor gas fire will go on before the heating. Also I've got the benefit of menopausal hot flushes, pain in the b*m sometimes but a marvel in regards to heating bills! Every cloud and all that

    I think yesterday was my strongest test yet, probably not helped by the fact I had a meeting at my boss's house and the heating was on, then drove home with the car heater blasting. The house seemed much colder when I got home and I didn't really warm up that much. Didn't cave in. I can be very stubborn!

    Still off here, though I'm noticing a chill in the morning and at night now.
    It's not really bad though. I just don't like wearing many layers at home.... But I've started now!
    I'm pretty well insulated though so when it does go on (probably November) it's generally only on for an hour in the and an extra hour in the evening in the depths of winter :)

    Still off here as well. Trying not to put it on until November but if we get another chilly patch it may have to go on before that.

    Mild here again . The heating is set to come on at 18 on auto but it hasn't been clicking on.
    I have been turning it up a little and having it on for an hour in the morning to keep damp at bay as having to dry washing indoors for the past few days. Have asthma so needs must :(
    Not dim ;) .....just living in soft focus :p
  • Trying not to have the heating on here until November. It is difficult though as I lost a stone recently so I feel the cold more than I did before :o (typical I lose the weight right before it gets cold and not in summer :rotfl: ). To keep warm I'm having tea quite a lot and have my snug-rug around me.
