    On in the morning and evening for an hour as I was out all day. Home tomorrow so if it's as cold as it has been today it will be on until bedtime.
  • On, On, On. Thermostatic time switch. Currently average at £70 a month over the year and house is never cold.

    Today = I hour early morning and 3 hours early evening.
    No heating on in the day today. In all day.
    17.1C in the front room.
    Not been feeling cold as I have kept busy/moving around.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    2.8C outside and 18.2C inside here. I had to click the heating on an hour ago when I came indoors and changed clothes.

    Now I'm re-layered into my "leisure attire" :D and the place has warmed up I'll click it back down to 16C.

    It's blowing a hooley out there! We have large trees beside the house, they worry me. Last year we had to get the tree surgeon out to cut 2 down (I felt so sad :() but they were too dangerously close to the house. Now I'm looking at the other side and wondering if I should have had that grouping trimmed too.

    Keep warm x
  • I've just come home after being out most of the day, Thermostat in living room says 14c.

    Even with loft insulation, modern pvc windows, etc, old terraced houses like mine still let all the cold in.

    Where are you in the UK Lee? Obviously I don't need to know specifics etc but generally - geographically?

    I will put the heat on at 7.30pm until bedtime. I've got a vest, 2 tee shirts, 2 pullovers and 2 pairs of track suit bottoms on, doesn't feel to bad, temperature 11.4 Centigrade in the main living room though. It's never done me no harm in the past, no health problems and it's too cold for germs to breed.
