Brrr...

I rely on the thermostat too, but switch it off during the summer months to make sure I don't have the heating on when it's hot outside! In previous years we've held out until November but it is SO cold...

snow forecast for tomorrow so escaping to sunny UK ;)

Mine has never been off. It turns itself on and off according to the thermostat.

Don't usually have it on this early but OH had surgery recently and he's cold all the time so its been on for the odd hour here and there but its not on the timer yet just when he's feeling it. It will be set at 17 once we put the timer on, until the Winter sets in and its really cold then it'll be on 20.

Ours isn't on yet but we did light the woodburner last night.

Our electric blanket conked out at the end of last winter so I put the new one on yesterday. It's a cheaper one with only one set of controls.....on DH's side!!

We we both lay there last night thinking it was taking a long time to warm up and I was hoping we hadn't bought a faulty one and I'd have to go through the rigmarole of sending it back.

DH finally checked the switch and realised it had OFF at both ends of the dial so instead of turning on to HIGH, he'd switched it off again!!

Ours is set at 20 all day - from this morning!

Heavens, no! I had it all on waiting till the end of September, though I am switching it off occasionally when we have a warm day. Of course it all depends on how warm it is where you are, and how hardy you are (I'm a wimp).
