    OH working away for a few days, so I admit it was cooler last night than usual. I did some housework to warm me up and pass some time. I did put the underfloor heating on in the bathroom for my morning shower, but no gas fire lit or CH on yet :)

  • Well, I challenged myself to keep it off until November - which we did quite easily soooooo 1st November I started wondering , maybe we can keep it off until December???
    Then in the afternoon one of our radiators fell off the wall :( so now we have no choice, until that's fixed!!!!!

    I've had the multi-fuel stove on since yesterday and kept it on today. We've had gales, plus I'm not good at present health-wise :o.

    We bought coke, rather than using the wood we have stored as it is easier to control the heat (we can keep it ticking over with coke). We'll use the wood when it gets really cold and we need a blazing fire :D.

    It was 14 degrees in our kitchen this morning when we came down, I tend to try and keep the kitchen at 15 or above and the sitting room over 17 so we switched ours on for a bit while we had breakfast. Looks like the weather is turning cold now so expecting to have to put the heating on a bit more.
