  • My central heating is still off. In fact, I haven't bothered to light the pilot yet. Occasionally I put the gas fire on for an hour. Thermometer's telling me that it's 8.1 C. Last gas bill was £18 for the quarter.

    That's not healthy, please put the heating on.

    That's ridiculous. No one should be that cold. What use is money when you're dead

    i have had the heating on today but have turned it off now and hae the gas fire on in the sitting room and my candles lit.

    I think it is far too cold not to have the heating on, I get asthma and am find that although the cold aggravates it so does the dry heat

    On, and we kept it on while we were at work today.

    Last night the house was ridiculously cold when we got home, so we are going for comfort.
