Is your heating ON or OFF?

So we're having huge money problems thanks to the gas and electric people so we don't want to put the heating on for more than an hour in the evening, but it's currently 10c in here and doesn't feel as if it's getting any warmer, so i may have to put it on for a little while to take the edge off!

It's been a bloody cold last 24 hours in Suffolk. It just suddenly got very cold yesterday evening. Still not had the heating on but I've been seriously considering it. Not long until November now!

It's been on for a week ish now 24hrs but controlled to 21c in the day and down to 17c during the night.
I feel the cold a lot and worry my 7 month old is too cold as he can kick his blanket off him the lil rascal!!!
Have asked for a little sleeping bag for Xmas for the lil man

Had our old wooden draughty, leaky front door replaced with a gorgeous white uPVC door today,so the hallway is nice and toasty! :T No draughts or cold spots, had the heating on constant all day on 18 degrees and it has only fired up for about 2 hours in all that time, just turned it up to 21 and lit the multifuel stove, once that kicks out some heat the thermostat can go back to 16. House feels toasty. I refuse to be cold at home, I work hard 5 days a week and cannot aford to go out much, so I like to be cosy at home. Got a candy corn yankee candle lit too, just the smallest ones (on offer for £1.80) and it smells so lush. Treated myself to a £2.99 bottle of Merlot from Aldi, so snug as a bug

Ooh candy corn? Does that smell like popcorn? I love that smell...

We've had ours on more often recently, and I think if it stays as cold as this it will probably be on pretty permanently, especially as next week is half term so the children are home and DH has taken the week off too. If it was just me I'd put it on just before anyone came home!

I've had the heating on for a bit today, about 2 hours. It went off at 5 o'clock though and now I am snuggled up with the dogs feeling cold but I am loathe to put it back on. Last year we had some really big bills because we just put it on when we felt cold but now we are not in a financial situation to do this so we are having to go without a bit to save money. I am already worried as to how we will cope when the temp gets into minus figures. Luckily we are both out during the day but my OH works from home sometimes as he is writing up his phd thesis, but I think he will go to the library just to stay warm. We don't like having the heating on if there is just one of us in one room and we're heating a full house!

I have a glade apple and cinnamon candle burning at the moment, on offer in Wilkos for £1.75! Lovely and wintery (almost Christmassy).

Temp here 14c...I was so bored(Saturday night 8pm)I went to bed and had a sleep...I sure know how to live.

Oh well, one of the rare nights I have where I can go out and do something tomorrow so if nothing else I may be warmer for a couple of hours...usually it's dead around here and though a big town in the North, little if anything happens unless you want to go to a pub and overspend on booze.

The bus service is poor(infrequent at night, expensive)as of tomorrow some services withdrawn)or ceasing even earlier in the night. Isn't life great?:p

Could be worse...
