I have to agree. Some people must be very cold-blooded. I don't mean those with health problems and young children who need the heat on but even at 3am my home is still over 18C.

And may i say you are both very lucky

Please be careful with what you say, not every one is as fortunate to have a well placed, well insulated house. If my house even made it to 18c this year Id have held a party

Im not cold blooded, nor do I have "health issues" nor children - just a very large house in the middle of a field on the NW coast of Ireland which has had a very cold wet spring, summer and now Autumn and we are now looking towards the first snow forecast here for two weeks time

And that lovely hot indian summer - passed us - we got 15oC and rain

My home was built in the 20s so hardly a modern insulated house and I'm in NE Sotland so hardly the warmest place. As I type it is over 20C inside and 14.6C outside.

You do live in the middle of a field so that won't help.

The high temperatures are due here tomorrow for a few days.

I'm lying in bed. It is 26.1C here, almost too hot, and the bedroom window is open. I doubt my heating will go on before November.

Yes - YOU have very high temps - here they have passed us by and Im sure theres many parts of the country not experiencing them

So please do accept people dont have to be cold blooded, have health issues or have children to be feeling cold right now

Still OFF here! I thought last week we were getting close to putting it on, but with this beautiful summer's day weather we're getting at mo, it's thankfully being held off.

Still having windows open til late at night. The 'daddy longlegs' are a nuisance though.
And, this year, loads of spiders coming in! Massive ones.

We've not been getting the high temperatures that they have down south though. If it isn't cold outside here in NEast Scotland then I would think most of the country are at least getting these temperatures.

well, I left my east facing shutters open last night and I do think its taken some of the chill off the sitting room, but its not warm, and will be lovely this afternoon when its warm outside.


fwiw the ''new'' part of my house was built in 1740. It has cracks my hand fits in for venitlation and planning delays mean they won't be being repaired this year. Its a wonderful house in summer, the front part never gets hot, but it means as the weathercools its very hard to warm up. Despite the cracks once heated up it does seem to hold heat rather well, with no insulation last year, so hopefully, with some insulation going in this winter it will help a lot. we are getting the warm temps, but its only warming the west of the house....annoyingly, all the rooms I use are on the east and north side of the house! (when house is redone the kitchen is going to be in a warmer part of the house, and be where I live druing the day!)

Agreeing with the posters who are still cold. Here it was 14c at the warmest part of the day yesterday and 10c the day before that. We had slight frost this morning. I'm in the south of Scotland but I'm high up. Temps vary wildly throughout the country - so please dont think that people who have their heating on are all wimps

Our heating is still off although our daughter who wanders round the house in vest tops and pants moans that its cold and turns the thermostat up to its highest temperature (instead of putting on extra clothes lol) and declared after 10 minutes how much better it was.

The heating has been switched off at the wall for the last 5 months or so
