Is your heating ON or OFF?

Mine is off. And I've told DH that it'll stay that way until AT LEAST 1st November like last year. We are still sleeping with the bedroom window WIDE open as well. Although the kids have shut theirs, but I do go and open it in the mornings on a sunny day as they are a south facing room and get sun all day long. I'm walking to work in a t-shirt still and spend my day in an air conditioned office as well.

We haven't turned ours on yet - the sun is shining, and we still have a bedroom window open all night. The days are turning cooler here, but the OH has a lovely fleecy throw for when he is snoozing in the chair, so we'll be keeping ours off for a bit longer yet. I think that once the rain starts again, it will be a lot less pleasant - can't remember the last time it rained!

I agree with both those comments...

I only said to my o/h last night that I couldn't remember the last time it rained.

I know October 1st is usually the 'official' day for accepting that Autumn is here and for switching the heating back on, but not in this house ! We hang on as long as we can, especially now energy prices are so high. I've got a nice stock of thick fleeces and they're about to come into use again. However, for those of you in northern parts like mumoftwo, I think it must be far more difficult. It's not so bad when you're moving around the house being active but when you're sitting down in the evenings once the sun has gone down you really notice the drop in temperature. My elderly dad always claimedthat if you can keep the extremities warm (i.e. feet, fingers and head), you didn't feel the cold so much and he would walk around the house wearing his woollen bobble cap, which he also wore to bed on cold nights.

I remember the last time is rained here, Yesterday, I've unplugged the heating from the timer at my parents house this week as it was boiling. When they get back off holiday they'll plug it back in.

I am really hoping not to switch the heating on until end November. Managed it last
year with the help of fleeces, hot water bottles poncho and a very unbecoming wooley hat
Scared the postman most mornings.

ok, ok, stop showing off :rotfl::rotfl:I have given in and been wearing my coat as well. I have enough padding on my body, I am no skinny minny but my nose is freezing and I am shivering sitting here at the computer, wrapped in a crochet blanket
