    Haven't put the heating on myself yet, but went camping on Tuesday night and returned to find stepson had put it on! Knowing him it went on as soon as we left the house (about 11am on Tuesday) and stayed on the whole time until we got back at about 3pm the next day - I obviously switched it off the minute I walked in! The thing is he wanders around the house complaining that it is cold in his boxer shorts and a t-shirt!

    Makes me REALLY MAD!!!!:mad:

    Haven't put mine on yet either. Just got out my warm cardigans and slippers instead. Will have to go on soon, as I dry all our clothes indoors and it is now taking ages for them to dry and they will start to smell (not nice!).

    I gave in last night and put the heating on for the first time,it got too hot in about 5 mins,so turned it off again,going to set the timer for half hour each night.
    Just seen the forecast for next week and it is going to turn VERY cold middle of next week,so will probably be on for a bit in the morning as well.

    ive had mine on for about 2 weeks now. if it was just me i'd hold off longer, and put a jumper on, but with the little man i thought it best to put it on ...

    Had mine on in the living room since Monday, with it being half term and being around more we felt it a bit- storage heating, south facing room, when the sun shines through the window we swelter all day when the heatings at its warmest then at night we're chilly again!
    My son is a warm blooded child but felt cold last night so gave in to our bedroom heaters last night
    I'll know when its properly cold when the one in the hall goes on and the hamster'll get a treat when the other one in the living room goes on- he's parked in front of it and I'll have to think of alternative accomodation for him!

    Tried to wait till November but even with layers and hot drinks it is absolutely freezing, cold winds etc.

    Going away next week and don't want a cold - even hot blooded husband felt cold:D

    So it went on today but on low background and can heat individual rooms as we have those radiator thermostats.
