    I don't know - I'm not in the living room at the moment and I don't believe in heating a room I'm not using.

    I don't have a thermometer so not able to measure, but the heating was on this morning for about an hour (forgot to turn it off) and I'm in full sun, so pretty warm! I've actually drawn my living room curtains; they're very thin so I've still got more than enough light and warmth without getting totally blinded.

    19 in the day. 21 in the evening. 16 is too cold for comfort if you are sitting down IMO. You can always set the living room to what you want and then turn down any rooms especially upstairs not being used. We have a spare bedroom and the radiator is set to the frost mark unless anyone is staying.

    I turn it down to 16ish if I'm moving around doing things. Too cold for me if I'm just sitting.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Usually around 16 degrees. I am wearing a fleece. I don't like it too warm. My heating bills are low which is an added benefit.


    Same here!

    Twenty degrees I assume, our heating is set to come on if the temperature drops below twenty during the day, it hasn't fired up since 11:30ish. Its set to 16 at night.

    Temp in Kitchen/back room reads 19degrees on my weather station thinggy (thanks Aldi special buy!). 6 degrees outside.

    No heat on since one hour 8-9 this morning. Back of the house is always roasting though whether heat is on or off. Thanks to big double glazed windows/french doors and a South facing aspect. The sun is shining today but it's very cold outside!

    Thermostat in the living room is set to 15 C.

    However we're in a 3 floor townhouse so upstairs is always too hot

    I've just this minute turned the heating on.
    I've had a jumper and fleece on all daay.
