Is your heating ON or OFF?

Off here and no thought of it being on. I've had the patio doors open all day. We are all sitting in t-shirts right now.

OMG, I've got sheepskin slippers on, jeans, t shirt, fleece and fleece zip up on.

Well, obviously we aren't just wearing t-shirts;).

It really is very mild here, though.

LOL's, I typed my reply up without jeans in at first but quickly added it. Otherwise what a mental picture that would have made:rotfl:

My heating has been off and on because it's been cold here. I try to limit it to 10 or 15 miutes at a time. Last year I left it on overnight (when it was REALLY cold ) at a low temperature in case of burst pipes.

Its not cold yet, is it?

and yes cavity wall and extra loft insulation really can make a difference.

Mine is off as well. Funny you should mention the loft insulation and cavity wall insulation, I have just had those done about 8 weeks ago and am definitely noticing a difference, last year I wanted to last until November but dont' think I did manage it.

Long may it last, don't want to give the energy companies any more than I have to !!!:rotfl:

I just caved in and pushed it all in the tumble dryer, it's been raining non stop for a week. There is only so much I can take.

I usually only part dry it and finish it off on the maiden, but that started to back up at the weekend, so I had to get it back on track.

Not very ms but I just can't afford to get behind with it all.

thanks everyone - yea i feel guilty bout the kitty's! - i have a blind cat and she's fine as she seems to find her way on top of the v+ box every night for a heat! it's ma other wee one i feel for! i've sat a sleeping bag on the sofa for them to sleep on and it seems to be comfy for them

i took a note of my metre readings last week and i asked edf the rates i am paying at the moment and when they put them up in november so i should be able to work out what i use. i would do online readings every month so that they're acurate as well but apparently when you do this it generates a bill, then they might automatically put my payments up and i'd have to phone them etc etc!

thanks for the tips for the reflective strips - will defo be getting these and at the moment i don't even have curtains up in the living room i have vertical blinds and a daft kinda voil pelmet thing. will dig out a pair of curtains 2morrow.

i'm ok with paying the £80 per month but i would definately grudge any more

Off here too - I have a breastfeeding baby - hes like a hot water bottle - definately an OS heating method lol We are in vests and trackie bottoms and we are fine, I have noticed the baby get cold hands in the night so little mittens tonight for him. This is late for us not to have the heating on, we do have cavity wall, the loft is missing some insulation after a bathroom ceiling collapse
