    my house is cosy and warm, too cosy. I have had to open the windows again or I fall asleep when I want to be awake. Its only a fire that provides it and I have good air intake for it but the sun comes in and I have to pull the blinds down or it gets too warm

    The last few days have been wonderfully mild. The heating's still on of course, but it just feels all round more pleasant. The sunshine helps, of course :)

    I had to have the bedroom and shower room windows open a smidgeon last night as there didn't seem to be enough air somehow. The forecast is for a long frost overnight so I think they can stay shut then.

    Not had the central heating on yet, but lit one of the wood burners early yesterday (about 4pm) so the snug was really......snug (:D) by early evening ;)

    It's definitely been much milder. Have had several windows open during the day and have been sleeping with feet poking out of the bed, lol!

    I have gas ch and a coal fire, I can`t even put the fire on for cheeriness because of the warmth all over the house. My gas bill is going to be low and that is good but I am even too hot in bed

    It has been very mild this far and I hope it lasts! Surprisingly, I've not had to have the heating on during the day (when I am at home, ie the weekend) thus far. It runs for a couple of hours early morning and is back on at 4.30pm when it is dark until 10.30pm. After that, its the HWB, heater and blankets for me.

    Bitterly cold today. Tomorrow down to be even colder. Temp on weather app is 3c max, feels like -1c.
    My walk to work will feel like -6c at 7am....! I'll be getting the winter hat out to go with the winter coat. Snow forecast for Saturday. Not likely to hang around tho.

    I've got into the habit of using my 3kw fan heater (on the half setting) a lot - sat in front of it now.... Off to switch the CH on as that's more cost effective.
    Looks like this week will be the test of whether the house stats adequately warm with the boiler CH temp turned down to 70c.
