Haven't even thought of needing it yet - it's still very mild.
The block of flats I live in had cavity wall insulation done this summer and I'm wondering if it will make any difference when it does start to get cold?
I've no intention of making myself miserable though - the heating'll be on when I feel cold. Scottish Power altready have £200+ of my money held ransom (they insist being £200-300 in credit is *normal*?!) so it's about time I used it0 -
I really don't mind the heating being off if I can snuggle up, but when it stops me wanting to get on and do my housework or go into the kitchen and wash up etc. then it must go on I'm afraid.Grocery Challenge £139/240 until 31/01

OFF OFF OFF!
I'm hoping that mine wont go on until November but we are suing the wood burner occasionally so I guess I'm a cheat in a way. It was warm enough for bare arms today though so no way am I giving in yet.0 -
Too mild here for the heating to go on.
My target is to not put it on until 1st November0 -
i put it on at 8 to take the chill off, had someone stopping by to pick up their wee one so didnt want them to think we had a cold house lol. just went on for 30 mins.
it also goes on in the morning for about 30 mins to warm up the living room. the upstairs heaters are all switched off bar the bathroom heating.family of six - grocery challenge - £480 monthly0 -
