Same here teenagers are just as bad i was feeling really cold a couple of days ago and the heating was set to 16c to dry a stack of washing lr was only 14c so i went to check, rads were warm went upstairs big window wide open and shed gone to school in just a cardigan :mad: so its staying off and i have my thermals on whats that sayin if you can't beat 'em join 'em well thats my plan i have changed the setting too so if they up the thermostat it still wont stay on very long hehe:)2nd purse challenge no040£0 Sealed pot challenge ???? £2 trolley find not counting small coins till end year0 -
Still off apart from 10 mins 3 nights ago to test the system, thank goodness it is working fine (it is a very old system)
Had to scrape ice of the car Wednesday morning !!! I also have an underactive thyroid so really really feel the cold, but I cannot bring myself to turn the heating on, fleeces to the ready, fleece dressing gown and bed early if too cold.
It is a beautiful day here in Epsom today so that lifts the spririts anyway doesn't it.
I had orignally said no heating until November but........... I may try to last a bit longer than that, (bloomin gas company will get enough of my hard earned money anyway)
Have a great *warm* day everybody

Off.
It is sunny here and I have been able to get three loads of washing dried no problem. It also means I can use some of the heat form the conservatory to use through the house. I am hoping I can keep it off until probably Monday!Cat, Dogs and the Horses are our fag and beer money:beer:

I'm another one who's been saying "It's not coming on until 1st November"......finding this thread is strengthening my resolve - maybe SECOND week in November?
We'll see! At least I live by myself, so it's just my decision, no-one else here to sabotage plans. Jumpers and fleeces are all lined up!Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -
Only on for an hour yesterday and has been off all day today - although the wind is cold, inside the house is quite warm so far. Fingers crossed that it will stay that way x0
