Off at the moment as my boiler is poorly but hopefully will be restored on Monday when the plumber arrives.Too chilly for my joints to be without heat so have borrowed so halogen heaters to keep warm0

Mine was off all yesterday didnt put on once ,we havn't got snow here and the sun was shinning through windows.Still off this morning it's a bit chilly but the suns trying to come out so hopefully will warm up a bit.Going to see how long i can go without having to switch on.0

It will be the end of March before we think of turning the CH off as that is when winter ends and spring begins.If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Spring begins on 21st March.0 -
Only 2 hours from 2-4pm, yesterday and today!
After a wet start this morning, we've ended up with a lovely sunny afternoon with blue skies! A welcome reminder that spring is on the way!:TLess is more0 -
Turned off another storage heater this morning, so thats 2 of the four off................. So 50% off, we are due gales apparently, but then we were due snow last week and that didnt come, I am hoping and praying thats the worst of winter over and done with and that spring is on its way.Pawpurrs x0

The fatal day has come, folks, when I am going to give it a go to be without central heating from now, to the next 1st November. In fact it is probably still on now so I am going to switch it off NOW! Wish me good luck - today is very sunny here so there is a potential for a cold frosty night in the offing! BRRRRRR
Edited to say: closed, thank you for the plentiful advice, let's agree to disagree on this one, I am happy with what I am doing and will continue to do so unless or until it does not work for me, then I shall change! But thank you for your advice anyway!Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0 -
I had the heating on this morning now the window is wide open and the heating off. Think I'll give it a shot too. No Heating Day number one coming up.0

Mine seems to have made it's own decision, and packed up, so it's off now...0
