Is your heating ON or OFF?

Just checked the long range forecast and it looks like I may be able to squeeze another 2 weeks without the heating on. Looks like it's warming up a little this week.

I've just put mine on..was 13 in room and thermostat in the hallway..it was only 11 when it came on. 
I'd been busy all morning but sat watching tv even with a cover I felt cold. 
I'm 73 so need to be sensible sometimes 

Please be careful.  11/13c is very cold for inside.  Sending warm hugs

We’ve been away this weekend and house was 12 degrees when we got back so heating on for a good hour especially as we got back late so no fire this evening.

  It’s strange - am so tuned in to avoiding the heating - when I feel it kicking in I have a small panic - even though it’s me who has turned it on 😳😱🙄🤣

I don't understand myself sometimes I'm £300 in credit and due the £200 plus hopefully WHD and only pay £60 per month in my lovely 1 bed flat. 
It's similar to always have cupboards and freezer full.
Maybe too much time to worry 😟

£60pm is still a small fortune compared with energy bills when I bought my first home in 2001! An unfortunate reality of our current cost of living situation.

It's only 13 indoors where I am, no heating yet.

That being said I spent a decent chunk of yesterday walking about 13 miles along a beach still in shorts (I did still wear a jumper though) and didn't feel particularly cold unless I stopped for a bit and was in the shade so perhaps there's an element of acclimatisation involved on my part, it was also very sunny and I was out the worst of the wind so I felt warmer than I usually do when it's only around 10C outside.

We got down to 15 this morning and was very tempted but managed with the foot warmer and leccy blanket in my mini office space.  

Having cosy fires of an evening but otherwise no heating since the weekend. From forecast looks like we might avoid GCH till upcoming weekend

I think you are all much tougher than me.  I have lost a lot of weight in the last 18 months and I am really feeling the cold more now I don't have the extra fat insulation to keep me warm!

I am having a fire most evenings as the heating is on the blink.  

20c in living room with the fire tonight
