Has anyone put their heating on yet?

I'm refusing to put it on but they're saying they are cold.

Its 12 C outside and about 19.5 C in the house

It has gone cold outside but am I being mean?
Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p

    Mine is on timed morning and night for last few days but I have turned thermostat off tonight as I don't need it on. Just about to put electric blanket on for half an hour. I have rheumatoid arthritis and under active thyroid so feel the cold A bit more than some folk.
  • No heating on yet but a fire in the wood burner most nights

    Mind you - I did have to scrape ice off my car this morning

    Actually, there is no way ours is going on. I drained all the water out of the system yesterday.

    Nope. I live in a flat surrounded on almost other sides by other flats. We're still sat here in t-shirts and no socks.

    Put mine on the weekend. I've stuck it on timer though 9am - 9.30pm. At the moment theres enough heat in the house to keep the house fairly warm until we go to bed. If we go to bed late then we just stick an extra layer on.

    I don't want to put mine on till November at the earliest.

    Just put a few extra layers of clothing on instead.
  • Ours isn't on yet, mainly due to being in the middle of decorating and having one radiator off currently. Hubby is being all tight and reckons we won't be putting it on til mid October :-(. We had to buy wood from the garage for our log burner as even our delivery isn't turning up for another three weeks!
