Is your heating ON or OFF?

mrsr

We spent fri till today down at are caravan for the last weekend ,its shut up for winter now.Ds who moved back in with us a few weeks ago was having his children for weekend so i told him to put heat on if he needed it for children.Got back today to find he hadnt turned it back off ,so a couple of days wasted heat.Sat here at the moment with a load of tea lights and candles burning room 21c i dont even need a blanket.

Does anybody use Imeasure.I entered my first reading last week and again today,its come back i've used £2-69 i wondered how this is calculated as i didn't input my tariff anywhere, does anybody know

another angle i think about when using any form of energy is the future for my child!--my bills are kept to a minimum but not to a point of putting my family and my health's at risk--i am a miser but know some has to be spent for family unity and health!!

I had never heard of imeasure until you mentioned it but have just googled it and signed up. What a good idea. I'm going to give it a try although our metres are a nightmare to get to to read.

I had the heating on this morning for a few hours, switched it off, went out and came back to a lovely warm house. But as the day has gone on it has really cooled down again. I'm going to have to put it back on. Upstairs is fine but popped downstairs and went into the living room and kitchen and it was so so cold!

think mine will have to go on

my hands are cold but my little one is sat wrapped in a blanket, i can live without it when they are in bed but don't think there going to like spending the next 2 hours cold. last night i popped 2 hot water bottles in my bed, was bliss so going to do the same tonight, the boys each take 1 and they will do until febuary.

i think when i strip/wash beds i must put the fleeces under the sheets, i forgot to do so this weekend

Still off for me but I have given in and bought a snood/ hat/balaclava (sp) thing and fingerless gloves.

Is that for wearing in the house?

I have had the heating on for an hour in the evenings to warm the place up and help washing dry.

It's 14c in the house at the moment.

We are still holding off for now. Dh and I were hoping we could get to the end of Nov before putting it on, but it is getting bloomin' cold! I loooove my jar (hot water bottle) and bought one for DD1 at the car boot sale at the weekend. Need 2 more now for DD2 and dh as they all want mine! Funny, no-one was interested in my jar last year, but I would've had the heat on for a few hours a day from much earlier in the year. Now they all want one! Even dh realising that it saves a load of money. And we cuddle up under a quilt at night to sit and watch TV. Cosy!
I have to admit though, getting out of the bath when it's really cold is not nice.

i was looking at my yearly bills for gas today and i noticed how little we use compared to how much it cost to put the combi and gas pipe in--it cost me 1885 gbp and we have used 120 pounds in the whole year--i was using about 250gbp in oil before we had gas and 92 quid for cooking and hot water propane--so 350 a year in total--so i have saved 350 - 120---230 gbp by having gas --so about 8 years to get my money back on the combi---need replacing by then lol !!!--it is luxxxxury though having gas once youve lived with oil and propane!!
