    Still off for me... girlfriend was complaining it was cold last night walking around in jeans and a t-shirt... you can imagine my response :D

    Slippers are on most night now though rather than bare foot... don't think we'll last until November even though we really aren't feeling the cold yet... I just think one day it'll just turn all of a sudden.

    On for an hour in the evening. I feel very guilty though. I didn't even turn it down when I felt warm enough! I got a bit obsessive about it last year though. I'm in credit with my gas bill so I will try not to worry too much about it, that said I don't want the ice caps melting because of me!!

    Still off, told myself 1st October, but will try now another week. The mornings do have a bit of a nip in the air now, though!

    Still off here and think it will be for a while. It has been warm here for quite a while now and weather forecast looks good for this week at least. We got cavity wall insulation over the summer and have not been able to close bedroom windows since due to the heat. Last year i managed till 2nd october so that will be beaten this year. think i will judge it week by week though
