Is your heating ON or OFF?

7.2°C?  That's bad.

Not had our oil-fired central heating on, but as we haven't yet fitted rads in the main ground floor rooms there would be little point imho.

Otoh, we have a 9kw wood burner in the kitchen that we've lit most evenings and occasionally during the weekend afternoons since Oct. As we have our own supply of seasoned wood to burn I don't feel guilty about that 😉

We have a slightly smaller (7kw) multifuel stove in the living room, but that room hasn't been used since Feb because of ongoing building work. Since last weekend we've also lit the stove in there a couple of evenings to assist with the plaster drying. 

Lots of layering during the day, plus a goose down duvet, hot water bottle (and two woolly dogs on our bed!) at night.

Single story and the bedroom has 3 outside walls - on the plus side being a fairly small double the fan heater can quickly raise the temperature for undressing/dressing and once in bed don't really notice the room temp

We put ours on yesterday afternoon for the first time, only because we were having visitors.

Surely you are as deserving as your visitors?

I mean if you felt it was cold for them, its got to be cold for you?

My MIL ( RIP) was bloody tight with the heating. She wasnt short of a few bob so it wasnt that she couldn't afford it. We we visited, Id wear tights, leggings and jeans and a thermal vest, shirt and fleece - which I kept on. He house was baltic - to me - and my house isnt hot, but I do warm the living room to 20 between 5 and 9

At the moment that blast of heat is keeping the living room and bedroom to 16 with no heating outside those hours

I reluctantly on for much of the day with thermostat set at 19 degrees as I,m very immobile and can,t move around to keep warm.   An early night with a hot water bottle is calling.  The white frost on the parts of the garden in shade hasn,t melted all day

It was and still freezing here in Glasgow, but I was going to try and keep the heating off until Christmas Eve, needless to say the heating is on today. 16 to 18 is a nice temperature to have.
