Is your heating ON or OFF?

On in the evenings now. Can't help but put it on when our house feels like the north pole and we have a newborn to keep warm.

ours is off and will remain off all winter

have you seen the price gas is going up! i would prefer to eat than have heating on in all honesty

That is a sad thing that many pensioners will have to face this winter 'to heat or eat' I am lucky that I budget and always have extra tucked away for hard weather.With my osteo-arthritis if I get cold my joints stop working so I like to keep my hpuse at an even tempreture if I can.I have double thickness insulation in the roof and the walls are cavity filled and I have double galzing so it all helps to keep the bills down as much as possible as with food, enegry is saved as much as possible in my tiny cottage.But I do have friend who find life very difficult during the winter months.

Forgot to say that it was that "warm" because the heating had been on for around two hours (30 mins morning,lunch etc to stop it getting too chilly) and when you have a 70+ and 80+ at home all day - leaving it to drop to 8 would result in deaths Im sure

With the heating being on for a total of 3.5 hours today its now a toasty 16 degrees - the olds wont croak just yet

I can understand that. I used to live with my parents at the same time my Grandma did, and she was always cold, bless her.

The rest of us were boiling, but it was easier for us to cope with that, than her have to cope with the cold. And my parents were lucky enough to be able to afford the extra in the heating bills, especially as Grandma insisted on handing over as much of her pension as possible (most it was just put into a savings account and used to buy her favourite things instead).

Was lovely to feel some heat from the sun this morning.

Clouding over now but the house at least got a bit of a boost

No not yet, hopefully going to last a bit longer - we go on holiday in october so probably will have it on when we get back to aclimatise ourselves!

Our heating is still OFF! It's been very mild here the past week, even warm. Past 3 nights we've had windows open until late. Damn moths keep coming in though.

This isn't normal for us, because as the crow flies, we're only about 4 mile from the sea, so by now we're usually feeling a 'chill' in the wind.

It's lovely today, warm and sunny with broken cloud, and saw the weather forecast this morning, and it looks good.

Years ago, we used to pray for snow at Christmas, and hated it when it was sunny and mild, but not anymore! The milder the better these days to keep heating bills down. So it's "Bring on the sunshine!" :rotfl:

Well after my post the other day, we haven't put it on as such to make sure everything is ok (the thermostat has been set to a fairly low temp all summer) but we woke up this morning to lovely warm bedrooms as it had come on for a little bit, at least we know its working
