    No heating except when washing is out. Laptop is a very good source of heat ;)

    Theres really no point putting the heating on atm... its fair too warm!!! it doesnt even feel like christmas, i suggest buying ski clothing in all honesty its comfortable and warm what more can you ask for.

    I can certainly do without any seasonal weather if it means saving a fortune on heating bills.
    To be honest I'm loving this weather its a big bonus.

    My heating is on for an hour and a half in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening. Thermostat is set to 19 degrees C and there has not been a day for weeks when it hasn't come on. Radiators are turned off in the rooms we don't use to try and conserve energy but I'm not putting the thermostat lower than 19.

    No heating here in Hampshire yet - it's still mild enough for no pyjamas at night, although I have popped my thermal mattress topper on. Went into town yesterday (not doing THAT again before Christmas!) and was overwhelmed by the heat in the shops!

    I don't have any small people, so I think I have learned to use the heating as a last resort, once layering and insulating have run their course. I have a little wall heater in the bathroom, and I use that in winter so I don't do the freezing dance when getting dressed/undressed!

    A beautifully sunny, breezy day here in Beds, 22c and washing (thick winter sweaters etc) which went on the line at 10.30am is almost dry now. The evenings have started to get chilly so I'm having my shower after dinner instead of in the morning, put fleecy jimmies and fluffy robe on, then have to take the robe off halfway through the evening, which all makes for a very happy sparrer - I'd rather the utility companies didn't rob me any more than they do now

    Cold, windy and we've also had heavy showers here although I needed my sunglasses on when we were out over lunch. New woodburner is on and it's lovely:)

    Yes, I meant inside, though I do have door/windows open so not much difference in or out. A couple of days ago it was warmer out than in!
