Perhaps it's just me? I've been up for over an hour and just can't get used to the temperature.
It's clear and sunny, although according to Apple it is all of 2 degrees this morning.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Definitely on here! Gloomy/grey, wet, trying to snow - a great morning to go back to work after an extended break.
ETA - supposedly 1°C but doesn't feel that warm!0 -
Mine is still on, I don't know if it is because I'm having a few health problems at the moment, but I'm really feeling the cold.
I worry what this will do to my energy bills.:eek:0 -
Ours had been off for some weeks but we put it on yesterday for a while and this morning was cold so it has gone on again.I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back0

Turning mine off , just had a mahoosive gas bill :eek:0

I keep trying to turn it off completely but the weather is not co-operating! :mad: It's still on for an hour in the morning for when we get up and sometimes for an hour in the evening.Be kind to others and to yourself too.0

Mine has been off since early January. Up to now I have turned it on for just 3 hours since Jan. I am lucky the house feels quite cosy anyway and upstairs is always feeling quite warm.0

Bathroom heater still on a time switch to come on for the off-peak hours. Having a warm bathroom to look forward to makes getting up at 5am a lot easier.0

Central heating was last on on 16 February.
Not lit the gas fire since 6 April.0 -
Well, it's off permanently now - boiler has expired! :doh:
Annual boiler service last Thursday - engineer found a small leak (not leaking before he came) and said it needed a new diverter valve.
Yesterday - engineer no.2 fitted new diverter valve but still leaking; needs a different part.
Today - visit no.3 to fit different part; nope, not that and boiler duly condemned!
New boiler should be fitted asap (really? as it involves the council? asap = how long is a piece of string). Not too worried about lack of heating (can always add extra layers) but no hot water? :mad: Now pushing 70, I thought I'd seen the last of strip washes using a bowl!Be kind to others and to yourself too.0
