Is your heating ON or OFF?

I read the post over and over and couldn't see anything wrong with it.

I've never known you write anything critical or offensive - misunderstanding I guess

Thank you frugal I wouldnt have written anything bad about anyone else........but it seems that I have.........I usually try to give other members kind and helpful advise to the best of my knowledge.....

Yes please!

We all have different opinions and needs and wants. All should be expressed freely.

Shegar, one of the things I think could really help people is your experiences of coping before you got CH ...was it just an open fire and one good warm room? Seems to me that's a good way to go if you have kids: a room for them to play (especially if play includes dress up and clothes coming off a lot) and warm enough to sit still, perhaps with something to snuggle under, for a dvd/video. But I don't have kids so I don't know practically whether that#s best or not, and it sounds like you have a lot of experience to offer mothers in similar circumstances now!

To be honest it's not the only post of yours that I've winced at a little bit

However, as debtmess says - it's easy to word things the wrong way when typing rather than saying.

So let's all be friends again :j

As I'm sure we both agree, everyone stay healthy

So sorry once again for upsetting you ,ive done it to you twice in one day now........whoops.

Soubrette

Not upset me exactly and not twice in one day

But I'll leave it there and I promise to read your posts with more empathy in the future

Now everyone's friends again:T back on topic;)

My heating has been on and off today.

Struggling to keep the place above 15 without it set on max, and even though I have thermals, jumper and cardi on and 2 pairs of socks I still felt cold.

Solution, add hand knitted warm cardi on top of other cardi and jumper, add 3rd pair of socks...hand knitted badly by me but it was my first pair add outdoor waterproof hiking boots and bobs your uncle...all toasty:j

I thought I was well wrapped up but not as much as I needed to.

As I'm not working I'm trying to keep the heating to the times we did when I was at work.
Don't want to cost more in addition to not providing an income.

I was so toasty forgot to turn it back on, hubby came in from work and thought the heating had broken!

Have a nice toasty coal fire next to me at the moment, so hot now need to take some layers off!!:D

well, this cold snap certainly is cold! :snow_grin My bathroom temperature gadget got to as low as 5.1 overnight last night :eek:

It is now reading 5.7 degrees, the heating will click on for an hour in a little while, and i'll go to the loo after that! :rotfl:

turned my heating off about 10.45 this morning and didnt go bk on till 4pm it was then switched off at 7pm so ive definately used less gas today than yesterday :j
I really hope kent have seen the last of the snow now as i went to get bread today and there was none, really wish the supermarkets would ration it to one loaf per person.

Going to be another cold day tomorrow at 0c, when it hits to 5c eventually it will seem like a mini heatwave :rotfl:

debtmess, I just want to say its little things like that that cheers me up, the kindnesses and generosity of people on MSE. To not just say where there was something but to share is precious part of humanity. Thank you for cheering me up!
