    It’s not the temperature outside that matters - it’s the temperature inside 😂 Thankfully still around 19 indoors here, although I have moved to jumper territory.

    I’ve just put mine on for the first time, and set the thermostat at 18 degrees daytime and 15 degrees overnight. It feels nippy and there’s a cold wind outside today and I was out and about this morning so felt quite chilly when I got home.

    Started to put the heating on this week. It has been chillier a few days here. My heating is quite efficient as the house is well insulated so it takes no time for the place to heat up!

    Mum's heating is off as she's trying not to buy any logs until after her big holiday.

    My heating will stay off for a while as I live in a south facing, well insulated block of flats with big glass windows. I think I shall put it on last week of October ready for the cold snap.
