Is your heating ON or OFF?

Off....but it sounds from the weather as if it will be going back on soon.

Its hard to back sense of this weather.....its veering from very mild, springlike to such deep cold and back again.

I had the heating on for a couple hours this morning, I had to go out all dy so I turned it off, came home at 3 and its been on since, its pretty cold out now the.......................

Weather will be much colder from today onwards, frosts at night again day time temps 3:eek:..............we are still only in January and theres still time for a lot more colder snowy weather to come.........

Yep I know we dont want it now and feel as though weve had a bad enough winter already. ...........................

I cut down the hours that the heating was programmed to be on. Now I see that we are due more cold weather. Oh well, will wait and see.

Mine has been off for over a week now but it's gone a bit parky again so it's on for an hour or so and then I'll see how it goes.

Due to extreme vigilance my quarter's gas bill to the middle of January came out to about half of what I expected it to be. I just can't get my head around all that units to cubic metres to therms business. I think they do it on purpose so it's just as well I'd overestimated it rather than the other way round or the wailing and the gnashing of teeth would be heard in John O'Groats.

Definately off. its oil and too expensive to use. i have a woodburing stove though. infact i keep a big pan of water on top and use it for washing up to save using the oil too.

It seems to me this thread tempts fate. Today I'm freezing what a stupid moring to have washed my hair on. Heating will certainly have to go on for me later, but I' resenting it.

Have you turned yours off now, use it when needed, don't use it regardless of the changing climate, rely on a gas /elec fire in the living room, use it and sod the costs?

It's turned off in our house now. In the morning, while getting dressed, we use a little fan heater in the lounge. The house isn't that cold really, but it is a small one-bedroom house, so it warms up quite fast, even with only the fan heater on

I tried switching it off a few weeks ago but my young kids complained they were cold. So I have adjusted the timings so it comes on for an hour and a half in the mornings and hour and a half in the evenings.

I can't say b*gger the cost but nor do I want the kids being too cold (mornings are generally the worst but the timing system doesn't allow me to just set it for the morning only).
