Is your heating ON or OFF?

I have an open fire and have lit a little fire with wood and smokeless coal this evening as it is the weekend, I am unwell and want to feel cosy.
Gone are the days where I used to build a huge fire (which cost a flipping fortune in burnables) and sit in a T shirt and light PJ bottoms.  Now, when needed, I will light a small one to take the chill off and am in warm jogging bottoms, vest top and sweatshirt!

Still off but definitely colder here in Yorkshire today but at least it's dry

Still off here aside from 1/2 hr test we did a few weeks ago just in case the boiler was malfunctioning.  

But we are lighting a fire in multiburner in the evenings.  Just the one to take the chill off at night. 

Other than that we have our electric throws & underblanket for the bed.  

So that and extra layers is enough for now. Long may that continue.

Well I have a pair of thermals on beneath my furry dressing gown, a HWB and am sitting under 2 blankets. It's actually pretty warm for the time of year here on the South Essex riviera and set to stay like this all week, but I have got the 'flu

Oh no. I hope you feel better soon. It has been mild today. I went to Spitalfields for lunch today and couldn’t find that charity shop I used to go to. Wasn’t sure if it moved or I just have been out of London for a while now.

Still 18 degrees inside so no heating yet for me. Dreading the cost once the colder weather really kicks in

Def not cold enough yet in the SE for the average person to need heating IMO. I still have the windows slightly open for fresh air.
Have started layering up on cooler days though and swapped to my fleecey loungewear for the evenings.
Might have to think about the bathroom storage heater soon though...that always goes on much earlier because the towels dont dry and it gets damp feeling (also its a bathroom, nobody wants to be naked, wet and cold!!LOL).

I don't put the heating on or off as such, the room TRVs and lounge thermostat have temp profiles and will call for heat as needed. I think they first fired the gas combi for a jiffy sometime back in mid September. Cost for heating in Sep totalled £23.58 and hot-water £3.88

Mine is on permanent all year at 18 degrees 

Heating kicked in mid September but only a few minutes each day since

Does that mean it comes on overnight when you are less Likely to feel the benefit?
