Is your heating ON or OFF?

Ohhh it's cold here tonight but I'm holding out quite well. Fleece all over, gloves and hot drinks.

I've just found this thread:

Should heating / water be left on?

It seems that keeping your heating or hot water on all the time is going to be costly.

Not put main heating, as in radiators on. Kids all in sleeping bags, apart from DS3(plenty covers). Hubby and I got small electric fire on in front room. After all gets cold even here, plus got DS1's friend on a sleepover.;) :rotfl:

No heating on here this evening - though I'm sitting with a fleece blanket around my shoulders as I type . Still holding out for Nov 1st (well at least so far!).

Was lovely sunshine here earlier and felt warm through the windows, but it was bloody freezing outside. This is the first day without rain and wind for ages - but looks like it's back again tomorrow .

This credit crunch must be really serious judging by this thread. Lots of us living like eskimos to save on those expensive heating bills.

Mine's on and has been since the middle of last month :eek: . My geriatric cat (20 yo) is feeling the chill in her arthritic hips and I'm a bit of a sucker. That said, I'm really dreading the bills.

Ours is on when DPs in and first thing on a morning, boys up at 4-5am most days at the mo when it's very cold!

sb44 we have a combi, no thermostat on the radiators or inside, just on the boiler.

Still no heating on for us yet, & we're not even cold. I really can't decide wither we are hard or tight :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

not on yet and It was 4 degrees outside at 11 pm last night. We are surviving fine but I must say that the sun shining in during the day makes it a lot easier. My weakest time will be if it is a grey wet day, as is forecast this weekend and I am planning to get very immersed and busy, sorting out my summer to winter clothes.

Pah, all those summer clothes I made and have worn once or not at all. Waste of time and space. Might as well just have one season clothes from now on and layer up

Heating just been "ratcheted up" a bit more this morning. Realised I was just laying there and laying there in bed when I had intended to get up - because of having to reach out of the covers and grab some nightwear to put on quick because of the cold air in my bedroom - and being put off by my dressing gown being in the next room. Gave myself a good telling-off about letting the way I live my life get affected by worry about heating bills - a good hour or so just blown lying there fretting (whole hour down swanee - yielding neither use nor enjoyment - kick backside, kick backside). So kicked myself out of bed eventually - switched the bedroom radiator to low (as well as the rest of the radiators all being on high) and made mental note to self to leave dressing gown by side of the bed in future - for quick grab purposes.

Goes off muttering "I will not let my life be affected, I will not let my life be affected" making mental reminders to myself about remaining firm with employer and Government about just what my income needs are.....Remind myself that the "reasonable person test" of what a reasonable house temperature is indicates it is to be not less than 20C - therefore my own house is not going to be less than 20C.
