My wife is complaining that she is cold and turned the heating on.
:eek:

Anyone else put their heating on?

    Yup, just in the morning as it's freezing at 5am but still it's a bit early for heating. Thought we were getting an Indian summer

    be good to run the heating for a couple of hours after the summer, to ensure its all working

    NO, put a jumper / socks/ slippers etc on.

    I am sure you can think of a way to keep your wife warm!

    Mine came on automatically this morning. I've switched it off now. I have the thermostat set to 21C for weekend daytimes, but it was far too warm.

    Irrespective of the season I always keep our home at approx 32C so we can experience that ‘Mediterranean summer’ feeling all year round.

    We often place a beach-ball and deck-chairs in the lounge for added authenticity and my fridge is always well stocked with San Miguel. :beer:

    I was tempted this morning. It wasn't really cold but the contrast between today and previous days is such that it just feels quite chilly. A warm cardi and my winter slippers have done the trick (for now!).

    We fire up the heating for 15 minutes once a month whatever the temperature just to make sure everything is in working order ready for the cooler weather.

    So far not had to call out anyone to do a repair for about 20 years now and like to think it's because we do this.
