    Thermstat on 16 due to a very sad looking hypothermic dog. The room he sleeps in gets quite cold so heating goes on when needed.

  • Had heating on a few hours a couple weeks ago as it was nippy and I felt like a cold coming on.

    No heating on this week as it's been warm. :cool:

    Mine has been on a couple of days this week, but im trying to keep it to a minimum. There's no thermostat (grrrr) so its not v easy to control

    ETA: the condensation on my windows has just appeared for the winter - and its horrifying how bad it is! Hate having single glazing, just need to make sure there is enough air flow to prevent damp

    Our CH is off, but we have had the woodburner on a couple of times, we try to hold out till Nov earliest for CH.

    DH has put in a lot of extra insulation over the summer, so hoping bills will be at least stable this year - fingers crossed :)

    ditto here, I realy need it off as long as possible this winter and am wishing for it staying around 10 degrees preferably dry and with a short cold spell late december and January so that I can wrap up instead of using the oil. knowing my luck it will be cold and wet from mid November through to April :D

    Mine is off but that's just because there's only me to cater for and I don't seem to feel the cold as much as others, everyone at work has been commenting how cold they are and I'm sitting there feeling the heat!

    Normally November before I even consider putting the CH on and even then it's on 12 degrees until March when it's switched off again!
