Battering winds, unrelenting rain and hail here today, just awful. Have the heating on, socks on a fleece and a snuggly blanket ..still a bit cool.

For the sake of my bill I do hope we don't have an awful winter. Has anyone had sight of a weather forecast for this winter?

Good afternoon, your Majesty.

LOL, bet the bills are royal highness too!! I would adore the space but the cleaning and heating bills would kill me.

Mine has just been put on tonight - it was so cold in the house, we put it on, and realised all the downstairs radiators needed bleeding because none of them came on! 10 min later and they are all toasty warm :-)
Turned it off again once the house warmed through :-)

I just pt the heating on for an hour. Junior has a cold and I can't bear to hear him cough.

Put it on today for the first time, not because it's cold but because the laundry was mounting up. So it was on with the windows open

Just read that energy bills are to rise yet again, taking the average yearly bill to over £1,500 for the first time.

It is dangerous to get cold, the blood thickens 2% for each degree the body cools and there is more risk of stroke or heart attack.

I guess we will all end up just heating the room we are using and wearing loads of wool like the old days.

My thermostat is at 17deg at the moment so it has flicked on and off this evening. We're quite well insulated and I've got the upstairs radiators just on frost stat at the moment as its always warmer up here. I also wanted to get some washing dried, not keen on using the tumble dryer really.

I'll keep doing my monthly meter readings just to keep a track of things, although we were a bit in credit last time I looked.

Very British Problems on twitter has just been posted this "Spending the entire evening debating whether or not to turn the heating on”

Not very MSE, but heating on, and door to garden open, I don't like cold, but also like air coming in. I have lived with a door open for so long now that it feels odd and stuffy without it other than really really horrid days, the wind has died down now so it is pleasant to have a little breeze of air coming in, and always have my bedroom window open very slightly other than very snowy weather.

I may have to revise this behaviour as don't know what the bills will be like in this new place.

Edit a few mins later, I have jinxed it....blowing a gale again now, door wedged ajar, and bath panel is rattling??? going to have to whap some super glue on that as it irritates. It is built over an air vent.
