    Most definitely ON! I ventured out early and it was very icy. I was glad of my Ugg boots for sure!

    Right this minute, it's OFF because i have windows open as I've been painting the bathroom.

    But i have had it on every morning for at least a week, and a few times in the afternoon/evening of late.

    I'm sure I'd warm up if I vacced the stairs down or something...

    Yep, caved in and put it on for an hour at night and an hour in the morning from Tuesday onwards, only because we had severe frosts in the morning from Wednesday of this week, and the calor gas had run out!!
  • Currently off, but put it on for ~ an hour this morning.

    Just put it on, as the temperature has dropped considerably this afternoon I think we may be in for a bit of a cold snap,but its been fairly mild winter so far so I'm not too bothered about the bills.I have joint problems and if I get too cold my joints seize up so its silly to sit and freeze.
  • Definitely on and staying on.... thermostat set at 20degrees in the day and dropped to 17.5 overnight

  • Ours has been on this morning, but it's 5:05 and it's not clicked straight on now as it's been sunny and the house has stayed lovely and toasty.

    We have it set to come on between 4 and 7am and 5 and 10pm each day and it's amazing to have got to mid January without having it click on and off throughout those times each day. It's saving us a fortune in oil! :)
  • Popped ours on a couple of days this week. Was hoping to last until November.
