Alternatively .......throw an extra dog on the bed!

I've got mine on for a couple of hours---why not ? It's when you're cold your resistance lowers so it's not worth it.

What I’m liking is the heated towel rail which also heats the en suite - and my lecky blanket!
I have also had my gas “multi fuel” on in the evening for a quick warm up especially yesterday when the temperature dropped and it chucked it down.

It’s chilly here,
but we’ve had a storm this afternoon that started with thunder, followed with big hailstones making the patio white!

Ooh Craftyone - flannelette....I normally wait til October before swapping Egyptian cotton for ‘warm’ bedding as DH calls it!

We’ve had gas fire on for an hour each evening this week but no CH ....yet! I suspect this weekend maybe our last bit of summer so might make October yet.

I'm "testing" mine today. Just to see if it works, you know!

its because many of us don`t adapt so quickly to changing temperatures, adaptation becomes much slower as we age. I `tested` my upstairs heating this morning just before my shower. It works fine and I enjoyed my warm en suite and bedroom

Now I am `testing` the stove in my living room, seeing if I can remember how to light it

I changed my cool sheets this morning, nice cosy flannel, so comfy to get into

It will be different in a few days, our bodies will adapt

Put it on - I don't believe in holding off, if you are cold

Aibu to put the heating on? Have you put yours on yet? This is the first day I've felt chilly. My wall thermometer says it's 20C inside but this is an old house & my feet & hands are cold. I wanted to hold on longer before switching it on but I don't think I can.
