I have had mine on twice in the last 4 weeks. I am 54yrs young and have my own built in central heating !!!! So it can stay off all winter for me. lol

i have had mine off mostly but it has been on a couple of times, am thinking of putting it on for an hour soon to take the chill off
Been lovely here today and managed to get 2 loads of washing dry on the line but is starting to get a bit chilly now
I have quite a bit of credit on my account so am not too worried about the cost, but have asthma and find it a fine line between being too cold and having the heating on and the air being too dry0 -
It's been really beautiful here today, lots of sun and a nice if cool breeze. It has now clouded over and very grey and definately much cooler. Might need to put it on later.

Well mines OFF again even though it was on the thermostat, i`m bleeding fuming :mad:
Just sat down when i came home from work to switch supplier from Scottish Power to Ovo and discovered quite by accident that the standing charge at Ovo has gone up in the last few days so i`ve missed the boat.
OOHH i`m so angry, all my careful working out has gone down the pan and i`ve just spent ages sat here doing it all again!
I`m waiting for a callback from SP EDIT its just happened and i`ll be staying with them until the end of Dec 2012 now. I would have only saved just over £40 per year switching but it would have been my £40 GRRR!
Just had a good laugh with the guy on the phone though they are always good customer service wise so thats one plus, told him that i`m having a giant hamster wheel built in the garden and the dog will be on it powering the house :rotfl:
I can`t find anything else to switch off, the low wattage outside lights are now permanently off (a bulb had gone in one anyway) i`ll only flick the switch when little old doggie needs to see as his eyes arn`t good, the heating is off and i`ve two low watt lamps in the room and they are on timers but i`ve just turned one off permanently. They won`t make much difference but i`ll feel better.
I now can`t wait for the clocks to change as my E7 electricity times will change and then i can set everything going when i come in off the late shift, i was going to go in the shower but i`m going to wait until the morning, whats getting up 20 mins earlier when i get up before 4am anyway *rolls eyes* at least the unit price of the leccy that the shower uses will be about two thirds cheaper.

My heating hasn't been on since March :A It won't be long until I'll have to turn it on though, the way the weather is going. Am currently wearing 3 layers and a blanket, so am snuggly.
My new mantra is: I am not cold - the heating is not needed0 -
I've put mine on for the first time tonight. I was sitting doing my homework for college earlier and my hands and feet were totally numb! Feet are still cold (but almost always are) but i'm lovely and toasty nowGrocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100
