    Mines been off all day but i`ve put it on for an hour as i`ve just covered all the radiators in wet washing. The dehumidifier has been on today too, i left it running when i went to work as everywhere was streaming and it turned itself off as it was full :eek:

    The temp outside is minus 1 and inside its now up to 18 degrees which suits me fine, i`ve just been baking too so the house not only feels nice but smells lovely too :D

    We are in Yorkshire too Sunnyday and had streaming windows this morning, I opened the windows and it has cleared. DH put the heating on earlier but we switched it off after an hour. Got a bit warm getting the children sorted for school tomorrow, washing up after tea and putting ironing away. Will keep it off now. DH just left for work and I plan on having an early night. We have a dehumidifier which we use when we can't leave the windows open. Six people in a smallish house creates a lot of condensation.

    I think that they will be the same for the next few days Pollys as the weather forecast is predicting some very low temperatures :eek:

    I love having the upstairs windows open in the mornings but it doesn`t always clear the windows as the only parts that open are the tiny top windows on the sides of the bays.

    The dehumidifier has been a godsend especially as i can`t leave the windows open when i go out to work.

    I think that this time the cold weather will be here to stay but keep hoping that i`m wrong :D

    I've just put mine on for the first time as I could really feel the cold and damp tonight. During the day is fine with the windows open to air the house. Closed them early afternoon and then a few hours later could feel the cold more than ever.

    Have lasted the longest I have ever done until 6 November and had a bonus week as was originally aiming for 1 November and last year lasted until mid Oct. Not using the timer yet or setting it to come on in the morning until I can't stand the coldness! Will have to see how the westher forecast is over the next few weeks

    Checked a couple this afternoon and looks like a couple of weeks will be milder then the cold will arrive

    hang my head in shame our heating has been on :sad: but if i had my way the heating would be off, my lot dont like it cold. Think we will need to buy a dehumidifier soon cos lots of condensation in the house. Tomorrow everybody at school and work heating will stay off as long as possible.

    How do you manage when you have to go outside then? It must get very difficult for you.
