Is your heating ON or OFF?

My heating is off as the boiler is knackered and they can't fix it until Monday.
And I'm frickin freezing.

I hate the frosty nights all that car scrapping in the mornings,it's a pain dog walking in the wet but would rather have it than ice and snow.Heating off now,it went on for a hr to warm house up and so i could have a shower in the warm.

Find it worse coming home to a cold house when I have been in a warm stuffy office all day.

So have succumbed more than I should.

Im better if I dont put the heating on as once on I cant stand to then become cold GRRRRRR:mad: annoyed at myself

I've been a lurker for a while, only just plucked up the courage to post

Just had to share this though...I've been living more and more on the breadline, so my heating has been one of the first things to be turned off. Someone came round to my house yesterday and commented that it was freezing, they didn't even take their scarf and coat off. I was sat there in a snuggly jumper, but not overly dressed!

Well, tonight I've been sat here reading some posts when I realised that my breath is steaming it's so cold in here! The weird thing is, I'm toastie warm apart from maybe my hands and feet, but that's because my hands are typing.

I'm starting to think it's a step too far!

Apart from hypothermia affecting you, your home could end up damp - you are breathing out warm moist air all the time and it has to go somewhere and will end up on walls, furniture etc, that is why you usually hear the words cold and damp mentioned together about a house.

When you get too cold you actually don't feel cold but feel warm and then start to feel sleepy, that is why people don't realise they are suffering from hypothermia till its to late. it follows a pattern feel cold, then shivery, really cold then suddenly feel warm, then sleepy then death. If you have a thermometer I would take your temperature and if its below 98.6F / 37C you need to warm up - most people would say go by temp of your house but your own temp is the best indicator of how cold you are- remember its the inside of you that counts not your hands and feet. Please look after yourself suffering from hypothermia to save money is not worth it honestly.

Where are you that it's so cold that you can your breath indoors? It's very mild here and I just assume it's similar everywhere. Still, this time last year it was not mild at all. I barely had the heating at all, about one hour a day. I survived and no hypothermia. Little chance with all the layers I had on

Just been out with the sog - in my slippers and dressing gown... very mild here too, 18 indoors so heating off.
