  • Its cold this morning, but as my heatings not working, just have to wrap up warm. The plumber comes this afternoon so hopefully I'll be able to switch it on soon, - maybe I'll keep trying to hold out - you lot are so good xx
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.
  • have put it on for half an hour for the last couple of nights just to take the edge off.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Hi All,

    Heating is still not in here in south wales but will admit to puttinga small electric heater on in living room but it was pointed at teh clothes rack - i need the cclothes dry adn unfortunately have had to result to using the TD here in south waels cos the weather is rubbish here lately.
    My poor little one has Bronchitus too but he seems to be happy with his hto water bottle and his jammys - plus cos i have 3 hot water bottles ive been putting one in his bed to warm it before he gets in so he is nice and warm all night. He also gets a slightly cooler one to go to bed with.

    i refuse to put the heating on yet - obviousy will if my LO needs it though! but i dont want to go stocking up my gas meter ready for Xmas then find out we are allowed to move soon! (december 13th will be our latest so we'll move just before Xmas hopefully!)

    anyway still holding out here - dont know how much longer though
    Time to find me again

    No central heating on but it is very cold and I am very well wrapped up, I've even got my scarf on. DS has a chest infection so we are just about to put the gas fire on in the family room, no TV though it's broken so will save on the electricity. Will have to get much colder to put the CH on.
