Is your heating ON or OFF?

Put the heating back on yesterday with the dial on the boiler turned right down so the radiators just get warm rather than hot. It sips the gas so doesn’t cost much, but avoids that chilly feeling you get with heavy rain.

I am just back from an evening out but will need to make yet another HWB now. This time I don't think its the house, its just me

I have just moved into a new build and am amazed how warm the house is compared to the last one, I am hoping my bills will decrease this year as I haven’t had the heating on since the end of February and I definitely would have had to put it on in my old house as I was always cold.

Lit the stove yesterday and had a ' light' fire just to take the chill off.Ours is a 120 year old house.Like Happy35, my daughter is in a new build and it is also very warm

My house has stone floors so always cold, my storage heater in the living room hasn't been off yet, and we have had a coal fire most night as well. Electric blanket still on too.

Almost tempted to put it on last night. Windows shut most of yesterday and regretting changing the duvet.

How come that with a house with double glazing, carpeted floors throughout, cavity wall insulation and about 11l of loft insulation I can still feel cold in the middle of June.

It still feels almost criminal to still have the heating on occasionally rather than rave it out but I have enough aches and pains already without adding to them!

I actually just felt cold and went up to get a cardigan! Bloody June!

I have been a month in my new build and that storm was a very good test, no leaks anywhere and the windows look washed. I am sitting here in a knitted short sleeved top and feel plenty warm enough, my old house would have been cold and not very comfy. It faced south so the sun wouldn`t have come in this month. Here is always sunny, when there is sun. Getting the washing dry isn`t easy, I have a tumbler but don`t want to use it during summer. In and out the house with washing, could do with a long sunny day. Flaming june, july is always wet.


Very bad few days coming up and I have been out and cleaned out the storm drains, no-one else would think of doing it. Was full of builders sand and rubbish, they coped in the storm but no chances being taken, all nice and clean now, I just pulled the grids up to do it. Would not take much anywhere to have a flash flood next week

winter bedsocks on last night, slept better with warm feet. I wondered why I have been aching for a couple of days, lightbulb moment, of course it is the damp cooler weather. I am not going to live on painkillers but will wrap up warmer and might put fingerless mitts on. It just feels wrong at this time of year
