The heating is officially on is yours?

Not on round my way, still 23 degrees in the flat.

Not on yet and forecast to get warmer over the next few days so no reason to. Thermostat is usually set to 19.5, so it would come on if I switched it on, as the inside temperature has been below that for a couple of days.

On from yesterday 9am - 6pm... 20deg....6pm -9pm ...21deg... Cost me £1.31 (includes standing charge) and a bath as well ,  not too bad I suppose

Nope. Gas is also turned off at the mains as even the quiescent pilot light use is prohibitively expensive these days. Now on my fifth 'we think you have read your meter wrong' letter from EDF, as my Gas Meter Reading hasn't changed for a couple of months.

Heating living room and bedroom with convector heaters powered from waste veg oil powered lister diesel generator. So essentially free heat and power for as long as I have a supply of oil.

No idea what mine has cost so far as I read the meter today and it's still not reached the value they estimated on October 1st...

They've estimated a new value now which is even higher. I'm not going to correct them as it works out better for me.

Bear in mind that their estimate will be retrospectively adjusted whenever then next get a reading.

Which is exactly why I don't want to give them a reading

I'll give them a reading next year as I'm guessing I'll probably use more than they estimate over the next few months.

Not yet. Toasty enough with this at the moment!

My heating is on 24x7, 365 days of the year.

If it gets cold enough then the thermostat will fire up the boiler which it first did back in early October. I see little point in sitting in a cold house especially as those nice people in the government are handing me money to pay for 5372 kWh of gas.

Heating set to come on automatically when the internal temp drops below 18℃ in the daytime.  It kicked in literally in the middle of September - I'm envious of everyone whose temp hasn't dropped below that yet!  We're not even in the North, but we are exposed on the top of a hill and I've always believed it to be a relatively cold house (not like a mediaeval stone building or draughty Victorian house, but considering it's only ~40s as far as we can work out, not ridiculously old), which the thermostat seems to be bearing out. 
The setting of 18℃ is the lowest we can comfortably tolerate.  The heating thermostat possibly shows it a degree or so warmer then it actually is, that's something I'm looking into this year, but set any lower and we're miserable and cold even with extra layers.

[As a kid I do remember frost on the inside of the windows here and Dad having to light the fires in the mornings (now sealed up) so it's not like I've been coddled with a previous warm house, far from it!]
