    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.


    I am really scared about burst pipes this year...:(

    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.

    We're reasonably near you, though further south. It's beautiful; we've just been out in the garden with the dog, there's a very bright full moon and it's warm out there. Here in the l/room it's 23c and I've had the doors open all day.

    So the gas is fine, it's the electricity we don't seem to be able to get down. Electric cooker, but no tumble drier - it's all dried outside but I do use an extra spin if it's dull and damp weather. Othr than switching off the TV or Pc completely:eek: not sure what else we can do.

    Not sure where you are but I'm in South Devon and its the same. Lovely day here after an initial drizzle this morning. Had to close the curtains cause the lounge was getting too hot in the sun!!

    My heating is on again this month, looks like it will be on from now 'til April.:(
    Like good food and drink?
    Try Hotel Chocolat and Baileys.

  • I've absolutely no intentions of it being on for a while yet. We are also still in tee shirts & quite happy :j (North West)

    Thats the thing.
    I try to keep my heating off as long as possible not to save money(although that nice)but because I just can't stand it.
    I find it very uncomfortable to be honest.
    I like the windows open and fresh air much better than the heating which just makes me feel lethargic and grumpy.
    I much prefer wrapping up through the day while I'm busy and using a heated throw while sitting of an evening.
    Just can't live in a heated bubble all winter.

    I went to my Nan in law's flat yesterday & it was horribly warm & stuffy.
    I couldn't get out quick enough:D
