    I've given in and fired up the woodburner (which heats the radiators up as well) as I have worn an extra layer and still been shivering most of the day. It took me three attempts to get it to catch light properly. I always forget how to get the fire started, when I haven't had to light it for months!

    At least this means I will be able to have a lovely warm bath later and not have to get out into the freezing bathroom. :)

  • Mines on too now ! but only for a coupld of hours to take the chill out of the air. thermostat said 15 and i think thats a bit nippy for a small baby. i cant keep it on though i cant sleep in a stuffy room.

    Mine is on hte thermostat and it came on for the first time this year for about and hour or so at around 3pm, so the temperature must have really dropped outside. Might nudge it down to 15deg though as I felt we could have coped with it not being on. Though the DC have been grumbling the last few days.

    Ours is still off (hasn't been on since we moved in on the 15/9) I'm hoping we can last until 15/11! I work for a large utility company so thoroughly begrudge paying them my wages :-)
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!
  • On. temperature dropped to 16 inside and my fingers were really cold even with gloves.
  • Off atm but we've set the timer to come on for tomorrow. I think it's meant to be warmer the rest of the week but waking up this morning to lots of frost and then walking in it for half an hour was not fun!

    To be honest we could last without it on for a while longer by wrapping up and layering etc but I'm also worried about the house this year and I've started to go round the windows with a towel which is not a good sign. Oct 15th was my target this year and we nearly got a month more out of that so I'm pleased.

    Keep warm (one way or another) everyone!

    Still off, all sat snuggled in blankets with hwb watching Jackson verdict. Kids gone to bed and we are sat now with warm tea and a couple of candles for company. Can I hold out until the weekend?
