Is your heating ON or OFF?

Definitely getting chilly here.
I have been wearing a thicker jumper, as well as really heavy thick trousers, and fluffy boots, to keep warm.
Could easily switch the heating on, but wont. Part of it is just pure stubborness now, i refuse to pay the energy company more money than i have to!

Just had my gas bill - £29! Yippee

Determined not to put heatin till November. Have bought extra sheets for the bed - but to be honest it's my ears that are cold tonight.

Have heating on and has been on for the last couple of days, prior to that I was just doing an odd hour boost here and there. I have also got the fire on in the living room, sometimes I just have the fire on and the thermostat turned down because I am not overly worried about having a warm bedroom. We have a very lightweight quilt but it is siberian goose down and is lovely and warm and I only ever wear a strappy nightgown.

We have a boost when the boys go to bed but thats it really.

No, not yet, an evening bath helps keep me warm. Will put the winter duvet on tomorrow though, DH will be on nights and I feel the cold when it is just me.

Just bought my son a set of lovely brushed cotton (is that the same thing) from BHS. Set for a single bed was £35, he already had an old set with spacemen on but he has now moved into a different bedroom with decoration to suit the more mature year 8 he now is. But he did like the snuggly brushed cotton. Having said that he is also now in the Stompa bed which is very high and of course heat rises.

Should probably put the spacemen ones on Ebay as they are still in excellent condition and were actually more expensive, they were £45 when we bought them in 2006.

I wondered that...my PJ's are brushed cotton moved away from nylon or similar type. I managed to tear/rip the bottoms not long after buying them and attempted to repair them by sewing them.

Might be a better idea puting a patch on the reverse of the tear if I can think of a suitable piece of fabric for the patch and use that Wunderweb stuff.

Maybe it's the new name for flannel.
