Last year, I managed a large, country, oil CH house on one tank of oil and copious use of a woodburner.

This year I have the CH on (20 degrees) for 5 hours a day ANDim heating the whole house rather than a few rooms (to keep mould/ condensation away).

Am feeling both highly guilty and very cosy.... #confusedbutwarm

Gosh no wonder your all cold, I've just looked at where you are on google and your pretty far north. I'm further north but west where we get the wind off the Atlantic.

I'm wondering if the builders of our houses thought about our geography and what climate change was going to mean to us lot sitting indoors freezing in layers paying a fortune on heating bills...doubt it. Are you girls in new builds?

Freezing here today. Windy, wet and cold !!


I've got the heating on (well 2 x storage and 2x oil-filled rads) and since I came in from work I have been wearing 2 x jumpers and 2 x pairs socks :laugh: Obviously am also wearing full set of thermals but I am now starting to feel warm (just had 2 x glasses of vino)


Hope this cold snap doesn't last too long eh

No I said my house is an old terraced house.

Not having heating on brings a whole host of other problems to the house e.g damp.

Not a new build. It's a old terraced house that was originally built when the mines opened.

Heating on here, but moderate temperature as little boy has a temperature and is generating heat of his own!

We will be in all day so will keep temp constant I think. This weather, no work and a poorly boy calls fora pj day!

Ours is definitely on. We're in a flat in London but there seems to be precious little transmission of heat from the other flats.

Had it on for a few hours this morning, but its off again now.
It would normally be off all day as I'd be at work, but son and I are both home from school/work so needed it on a little longer today.


Wont turn it on again until 2.30 though, ready for when the teenager gets home from school. Then off again at about 6pm.
