    It is rather lovely to live in a two hundred year cottage but bloomin' heck they get cold...I remember central heating - a vague, distant memory of warm fluffy-ness. Economy 7 and storage heaters are rubbish...seriously. Poorly insultated, drafty cottages and storage heaters do not make for a warm fluffy-ness.

    Yet, the storage heaters stand cold. I shall resist. My father would turn in his grave if he knew I'd wimped out and put the heating on before November. I'm a Lancashire lass, I was born to walk up on moor, in a blizzard, 8 months pregnant with a lamb under each arm!

    Husband complains it cold (what do you expect from a Londoner!).

    I shall not falter. I will not disgrace my family name!

    ;)

    Stay warm everyone.

  • Thermometer arrived, was wondering at what temperature you let it get to before heating is put on?

    Ours is still off here, we have had a few sharp frosts, but I am determined to keep it off till November, still sleeping with the bedroom window open at night, I love the feeling of being in a warm toast bed, with a cool breeze coming in :T

    CH is now working and it is on low. The house feels so cold, we have had the dining room plastered and everywhere feels damp. It will probably be on for a couple of hours.

  • Still haven't given into the temptation to turn the heating on.

    There's no shame in wearing a bobble hat indoors, is there??:rotfl:
  • We've never felt the need to put ours on either.
    Its been a lovely day today and my washing came in bone dry which was nice.
    We're actually not feeling the cold tonight,had the fleeces ready just in case but we've never needed them.
    One thing though just what did we all do before fleece fabric was invented :rotfl:.
  • Mine's off but the lounge is toasty for some reason.

    My OH has a fleece balaclava that he has for work. It was from when he was working in Russia and it was for wearing under a hard hat. It comes down to your shoulders. It's been washed and i've tried it on and it makes you really, really warm but I just can't bring myself to wear it. :rotfl:
