Is your heating ON or OFF?

CH27

Still off here but everywhere is beginning to feel slightly damp:(

Heating still off here and I hope it'll stay like that until November
So far bedroom window stays opened a little bit all the time - otherwise too warm for me to get nice sleep

Haven't got central heating. We use small halogen heaters when necessary. They don't last very long, but are cheap to buy as well as run. It would be nice to have sturdier ones if they made them.

Off - the electric blanke has been put on the bed tho - only used it once so far

Can't believe it's Spetember and contemplating heating - but yes ours was on last night bloody freezing!
Apparently we've got the backend of hurricane Irene to be honest I think it's England It's rubbish weather! Get me somewhere sunny!

Suppose though to save money tonight the mrs can put a jumper on instead !!

Blimey, the beginning of November seems late ... If we had an open fire (I wish we had) I'm sure I would start to light it in the evenings when we started to feel the chill, and put off switching on heating for the whole house

we try and save on coal, even though we got free wood, we havent got a load of room to store a winter's worth, and you normally find its harder to get free wood in the winter, that is dry..

AS also been mentioned on this thread, i also find the earlier you lite the fire, the longer the winter seems

Heating on? Seriously? I'm still sleeping with the window open most nights!

Once it's cold enough to lock up, I'll think about putting the winter-weight duvet on the bed, but the heating's a couple of months away yet, at least. People moan about new builds a lot - but they sure do keep the heat in...

I have the 4.5 tog duvet on the bed... and I sleep with just the sheet... it is boiling! I am wearing a jumper today but that is more because I have nothing that fits me and it was raining this morning on the school .. no way the heating is going on yet! I make everyone else get jumpers on too..

This a freezing cold ancient house too so not a new build... Though I am working my way through excluding draughts and replacing single for double glazing.. 4 window left to do!

Hi, I put ours on for about an hour yesterday and its the house is still feeling alot warmer now. i notice that when you havent had it on for a while, putting it on for a hour and then turning it off again can make quite abit of difference for a couple of days. Last night was also the first night i shut our bedroom window!x

It is freezi8ng down here and me and both my sons are not feeling very well so they are snuggles under fleeces, with lots of snuggly clothes but yes i have had to give in and turn on the heating for an hour:(

I think my old house just gets colder each year:(
