    OFF in the tiny fishbowl top floor flat in Essex. So far I've only had it on once, so pleased to be saving some pennies with the mild weather.

    Heating on..I'm cold :(

    I envy you and dread my bills
    I spend most of my time shivering under a blanket during winter , but my bills suggest my house is tropical!

    Oh to be warm :o

    Off last night, on for an hour for the shower this morning but off now and very, very warm in here. Thanks to the HA I have a massively well-insulated house which never seems to get really freezing cold (remind me what I just said when there's frost/ snow!) and am pottering around in a short sleeved top.

    Oh my God..........on timer anyhow....and have pushed the extra hour button.


    I am living in a wind tunnel here this morning (northeast coast).....and i'm terrible for having the windows open.


    Not very MSE....but I have to have fresh air coming in.
    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.

    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.
    Bearing in mind the above I honestly thought we'd have to have the heating on by now. Either it has got warmer since this post, our neighbours are heating our flat on either side or a mix of the both. Seriously I am sat in skirt and a top and I am warm!
    Haven't had to have our heating on.
    If cooking on hob or using the oven I feel like I'm boiling.

  • Still no central heating and I haven't lit the fire since the 6th, I am surprised how mild it still is in the middle of November!

  • I have had to switch it on as my bedroom is getting too damp (it normally sits at about 13 degrees) but I have switched all other radiators off so only really using it for one room as thought it cheaper to use the heating than an electric heater. Really disappointed that I have had to switch it on :(

    How annoying for your Moments of Sanity, but you had to do it for your health, you dont want damp especially in your bedroom.

    Still holding out. Its mild today in London.

  • Had the heating on for hour first thing , then put it back on at lunch time as the temp went down to 17 so I put it on for an hour , and will probaly light the fire around 4 ish , its definitely mild to what it should be mid November as usually the frosts start around my birthday but as yet here no frosts......

    On only for 1/2 hour for my shower as usual, now off. Been out sweeping leaves/pruning in the front garden this morning with just a sweater on (and trousers of course, don't want to scare the natives ;)). It's beautifully mild today, 66f in my kitchen.

    Off here. We have a big kids party at our home tommorow so praying for no rain so the kids can do the outdoor activity we have planned first.
