  • Put the heating on (thermostat on 19) before for an hour and it was so toasty in the house I fell asleep!! It was lovely!! Back to the jumper and hot drinks now though! I might put it on again later.

  • No mines not been on yet, we must be harder than I thought. We haven't had the gas fire on yet either, it always smells for the first few times :o

  • Just found this website. Lots of helpful info. I have to admit I turned my heater on last night...But after reading some of these posts I'm going to resist as long as I can. Even if it means walking around the house in layers clothes, multiple pairs of socks and a balaclava.

    I could be arrested on suspicion of burglary but atleast I'll be warm, and saving on electricity. :)

    part of the coping without ch might be to do with having quick access to warm fleeces and clothes. I did my wardrobe today and have all the layering things ready. Lots of folks have put their winter stuff away and can`t lay their hands on warm clothes yet

    I think it`s time to bite the bullet re the summer to winter sort out

    Really feel let down. My DH insisted on lighting a fire last night (coal) as he said the house was freezing. I was hoping to wait until November. Now i have got to order some coal as we have only got about a bag left.

    No not got mine on yet. Pre MS days I would have put it on and turned it up but now I have put a jumper on and feel perfectly warm enough. I am hoping to hold out until Nov.
