Is your heating ON or OFF?

OFF.

It will stay off till the windows are closed and everone has a jumper on.

Unless like last year it breaks down again then it just wont be on cos it isnt working.

:):):)

OFF

I have used the wood burner a couple of times in the last week with wood from a friend who had new skirting boards and handrails installed and saved me all the offcuts so I don't feel bad about it.

This is my first year of seeing how long I can last before putting the central heating on. I am inspired by you all on here

Still off here.

Am desperate to get further on in the year before I relent. Bought the kids snugglies today to keep them warm. my main problem is my hands that I can never seem to keep warm!

I put ours on yesterday. I was desperate to hold out till October then realised I was only spiting myself as I was freezing. Just had it on for a couple of hours in the evening and its just come on tonight. Supposed to be warmer here tomorrow so hopefully won't have to have it on again.

Still off here in NEast Scotland. In fact today I even managed to hang out some washing. Still in summer nightie and not using my fleece when watching TV yet.

I've put mine on this evening. I'm not cold and have been sitting in short sleeved tops most evenings, but I can't dry washing outside and don't have a tumble dryer. I noticed that some washing I did the other day was taking ages to dry and I don't want it hanging around for days, so think it needs a bit of help (especially the bedding!)

Well I caved and put the storage heater in the bedroom on this morning. I took a hot water bottle to bed, thick pjs, and a fleece throw on the bed, but woke up absolutely frozen. Goosebumps, streaming nose and eyes, the lot. I'm not about to make myself ill for the sake of a few more days.

The storage heaters in the rest of the house are staying off for now though.

Still off here in Lancashire, although it has been chilly, its only me thats felt the cold so far (I have anemia though and you tend to feel the cold more) Kids haven't mentioned it, so will carry on for as long as possible, but won't let the kids get cold. As we seem to get colder weather in Feb and March its a worry to have to put the heating on in September, as thats almost 6 months:eek: I have a halogen heater to take chill out of air, if it gets any colder, will try and stave off the CH till October.

Just to say though, when I put my CH on I don't have it on during the night, a lot of you seem to do that, I couldn't bare the heating on all night, must get very stuffy. I set mine on the timer to come on an hour before everyone gets up:)
