Is your heating ON or OFF?

Its so hot in the office, worried I am going to feel frozen tonight after being stuck indoors 5 days I was used to the home temps!!

Asked oh for some microwaveable booties for xmas..keep the feet toasty!

Dressing gown, socks, hat at the ready for tonight... we are gritting tonight for the first time this winter..so its gonna get cold (Norfolk area incase anyone else lives here too!)

Been off all day but just switched it on. The wet damp weather seems to make the air temperature feel colder than dry cold.

My heating clicked on but the thermostat is only set to 12. It has gone off again now. I turn it down to 10 at night and turn it to 12 in the evening.
It's only clicked on twice since November the 1st.

I'm really impressed with that, I find that I start to feel chilly if my indoor temp falls below 15 degrees C.

Me too - 14 is my threshold for switch on, but only for 2 hours am & evening, the rest of the time we just wear jummies & socks :rotfl:

Im a bit like confuzzled. Im in an all electric ground floor flat with 2 storage heaters and an electric convector heater in the second bedroom. I also find that i try and only put on the lounge storage heater every other evening. I dont like heating in my bedroom but i found last year my bed was freezing, so this year ive invested in an electric blanket (£18 from tesco), which has worked wonders. My adult son has started to complain hes cold in the mornings but hes up and out within 20minutes and i dont find i get to cold as im always busy doing chores or getting ready for work. If my meter readings are correct its cost me £50 for two months, which isnt bad.

Have finally conceded and put the storage heater on I've only set the input to 2 (out of 6) and the output will stay at its lowest. The only reason I've done it is it looks llike its gonna be cold over the next couple of days, and DS and I are at home. I'll turn it off again on Thurs night as OH will be the only one home (and he'll be in bed!) I hate having ot plan ahead with stoopid storage heaters!

I don't intend using a heater this year and my hands and feet are definitely feeling the cold at the moment. It's 15c according to the thermometer on my electronic weighing scales. I've got some thermal socks and fingerless gloves coming tomorrow! I'm already wearing double layers.

We've had to pop ours on in the last couple of days as my knees were feeling the aches too much to cope.

We've just had it on an hour in the morning and an hour at night but today is sunny and bright so we'll play it by ear.
Still taking it on a day to day basis as we're south facing and the sun does a lovely job of keeping us warm when its out.

My personal heating challenge is now over for this year. I've had the CH on for the past few weeks, on the lowest setting, but I got home last night to find my poor elderly cat sitting on the sofa, shivering and looking thoroughly miserable. After being at home for half an hour I could see his point (and had lost the feeling in my feet! ) so the heating's now on properly.

I think I've done pretty well to make it to the second week of November, though. I'm a very chilly person and really admire everyone on this thread who can cope at 12 degrees (by choice rather than those who have to, obviously). 18 is about my minimum temperature - even in the summer I usually wear a jumper in the evenings. It's a running joke among my family and friends that I'm never warm!

Good luck to everyone who needs (or chooses) to keep the heating off a bit longer.
