Is your heating ON or OFF?

Seems to be quite chilly outside at night but warm once the sun comes out. I wore my new winter puffy jacket walking to work at 7am, lovely & warm despite there being a bit of frost on some cars. I was roasting walking home at 5pm tho!

CH still off & thermostat still set to 10c. The house just does not feel cold during the day. I've given my bedroom 1.5kw fan heater a bit of a blast in the early morning but only for about 15 mins max. Summer duvet still on the bed with a blanket over it.

My electric shower is also still plenty hot & powerful enough & I've not had to tweak the heat setting up - that's my measure of "winter has arrived", when the electric shower needs to be set to high & the flow rate drops to a measly dribble!

Still off & the aim is to keep it off until the end of October but it is starting to test my resolve. Second hand & bargain pure wool blankets are in a basket at the ready (Yorkshire and Welsh wool only my dear!), the thermal underwear & winter socks have come out of summer storage, the mini oil filled radiator has been swapped out for the floor standing fan, we're still managing with the 4,5 tog quilt and a fleece blanket (which went on last month), but we've a few togs to go yet. Fleece under blanket and electric blankets are now in use, but the heating has stayed off, and the real fire remains unlit. So a big ole' pat on the back for me, but I am sooooo tempted.
Oh, and the condensation from the children's mouths being visible ..........? That's a badge of honour to be recalled in later years don't let it sway you.

No heating on here yet, but we only had it on once last winter

We do have two very good wood burners which we installed last year as we have our own supply of wood. The larger one (kitchen) we only used occasionally, but iirc the one in our snug was lit every evening between Oct and March.

A couple of weeks ago on a chilly evening we lit the snug wood burner but even though our stone cottage is quite cool due to the 2' + thick walls, we've no plans to light it again till well into October, as it got way too hot very quickly. Instead we'll put on an extra woolly jumper/wrap up in a faux fur throw or woollen blanket if needs be
