Is your heating ON or OFF?

@MikeyPGT - Friday came without any weather drama. Who can be trusted?

Trust me - in a contrary way.

As it has got warmer when I have said it looked like getting colder, I shall continue to say it will get colder until I am actually proved correct.

Just confirming that two days after I last said it would get colder, I'm still sitting with a hot water bottle and no fire and I'm not even wearing extra clothing (today's outfit is a midweight jumper, not a thick one).  But it must be getting colder tomorrow.

I have to use the heated throw in the living room now and i did use the heating in the bedroom a couple of times. The heating is so expensive , it’s not possible to have it on all the time so thick pjs and a dressing gown all the time

We have set the heating to come on tomorrow
morning and by looks of the temps this next week we will also have to have an hour at lunch and one in the evening.  

Only have it on that much when temps are so close to freezing. In bed I have a heated underblanket and wear a bed hat and wrist warmers

It feels really cold to me after the weather being so mild. I am sitting in the other living room as the workman is here and he has the door slightly open and there is a horrible draught. I have the portable halogen heater on in here. I’m not putting the full heating on as it will all go out the back door.

I'm in West Yorkshire and have given in...heating on for an hour or so from 4pm. 
I'm fine in the morning doing jobs and out walking. 
Tend to go to bed early and watch tv 
Im 73 and very active

It IS chilly now, winter is officially here. I am oop north for work and I had to scrape ice off the windscreen this morning.

I put the living room storage heater on full last night. Big mistake. I had to strip off when the sun came blazing in through the windows and was 23C. It has now cooled down to a toasty 19C now it's dark. I dislike having the living room above 17-18C or it makes the rest of the house feel cold. I have just caved in and put the kitchen and bedroom storage heaters on low for this 3 day cold spell.

I've caved, I've swapped the shorts for jeans when out and about and am now wearing a second jumper whilst at home. Heating's still off though but it's certainly a bit nippier than I'd've preferred.

I've also had to put another blanket on the bed so am up to 5 blankets (though don't bother with duvets in case anyone's wondering why I use so many).

4 degrees outside, 13 in the living room. Its time for double layers. I haven't been outside today but I opened the patio doors and it felt like walking into a fridge. It feels so sudden after all the mild weather we've had. .

I gave in when I returned home at noon today and the sitting room was at 10.9 degC.
