    It's 18.5 degrees in doors and still no heating on.

    Why do people say they have no heating on yet have a coal/log fire burning? Just because the central heating isn't on doesn't mean you have no heating.

    I put more clothes on and the kids didn't complain when they came in so have stuck it out. The house always feels warmer when I'm not alone here.

    I think we'll put it on tomorrow though. December 1st not bad. I only have CH no secondary heating so I will really be turning the heating on for the 1st time this year.

    I've resisted posting on this thread til now. Why is it that my DH absolutely refuses to put a jumper or even a vest on with his plain long-sleeved shirt and just belts the heating up? I'm now sitting here 'glowing' (according to the saying) in a T-shirt and skirt. I've even had to take my wooly tights off because my legs felt too warm! My sons are now 'perspiring' in their duvets too.

    Grrrrr!!!!!!!

    Ohhh at last it's on for me. Very chilly today and I've decided to have a comfy evening.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    My heating is still off, but I'm a rufty tuffty Geordie living 15 miles from the south coast. They don't know what cold is down here!

    While I'm here.

    I go shopping around 7.00pm most evenings, and pass my next door neighbour's living room window (no gardens, just a path).

    Every time I pass he's sitting in shorts and a t-shirt, nothing else (not even socks and shoes), in front of a four "bar" halogen heater with all four "bars" on!

    still no heating, though DH is now sulking that its not on yet (even in tshirt and jumper ;) ) will probably let him have it on when he's back off night shifts
