have you got your heating on yet?

Yes, heating is on occasionally in the evenings now, probably after 6 when we sit down to watch the news. We’re in Scotland and I’m a “cold tattie” so hate being cold. I do use an alpaca wool throw too which we were given as a gift in New Zealand.
I can thoroughly recommend them but also realise they are expensive. I always say I’d rather be hungry than cold.

I have my heating set on all the time as I’m retired, but I have a thermostat for the heating to come on only if the temperature drops below 20 degrees.

Have to put it on for an hour in the evening to dry the washing on the radiators. Too late in the year for outdoor drying.

Well, you are in Barbados after all
Sneaked out, don't tell anyone. ??

Ours is on a thermostat. 16 during the day, 18 in the evening, 12 overnight. Neither of us likes to be too warm, but we do sometimes up it to 20. However, that’s happening a lot lately as we’ve DD1 and family living with us for the time being and they seem to be cold bodies! We still have the windows open though - I need my fresh air.

It first clicked on about 3 weeks ago.

It's 25C in the conservatory (no heat on)
Positively tropical!

I recently heard someone say they refused to wear socks until October and they were cold so they'd put their heating on.
Wrong on so many levels.

No. It's still very warm here. Doors and windows open, still wearing t-shirts etc. We don't usually need to light our solid fuel boiler till mid-November. But we have turned the towel radiator on in the bathroom as it can be a bit nippy getting out of the shower first thing in the morning.

Last winter I had the heating on in December and January, possibly February. I only have storage heaters and my comfortable temperature is lower than average.

Teacheranne You sound a very kind lady thinking of others because you are better off and able to heat your home when ever you choose to. Well done you, there will be many people this winter being grateful for food banks especially those who have just lost the 20.00 on Universal credit. Maybe we should all try to donate one thing a week when shopping especially leading up to Christmas.

Now this is precisely why I do not live in the UK!

No, seriously, it would never occur to me to live in a house that could not be heated all year round if the weather is cold.

DH and my aches and pains cannot be alleviated by wearing more clothes in cold weather, so if the temperature inside is under 16 degrees centigrade the heating is most definitely on.

It suddenly seems very Autumnal in terms of weather, so yes the heating has been on in the evening. We sometimes have the fire lit instead - very cosy!

Are the items from this website good quality? It looks very good prices ??

Abroad! cold fingers! Better get the heating!!

Yes, every evening this week. Feeling fed up as we always go aborad for two weeks about now. Definitely can't be doing with being cold as well!

Ours is on and off as needed. I never think about the time of year, if we need it we put it on but I appreciate that we're fortunate to be able to afford to do so.

Not yet, but I took the single duvet off the spare bed and got cosy on the sofa last night. I have my hot water bottles at the ready for when it gets cold cold.

Ours is on thermostat, at 21, timer for hour and a half in the morning and four hours in the late afternoon/evening. Also a dual control electric blanket, which has not been on yet, the radiators in the two spare bedrooms are off and doors closed. Bedroom window is always open, I too have Raynauds and will not compromise on being warm.
We are fortunate and can afford our average £100pm dual fuel bill, we are not extravagant in other areas.

i really feel the cold and also have copd, so the heating is currently coming on for a couple of hours in morning only and if feeling cold an extra jumper in evenings

Ours is on a thermostat so it is coming on some of the time if ots colder

Flick it on for a hour morning and evening but a bit longer yesterday as it was so wet and windy and depressing. Wearing my winter jumpers now and the winter duvet goes on Monday when we change the bedding.

Heating was on for an hour around tea time the other day as it felt chilly, but my 4.5 duvet is still on my bed as my own central heating system kicks in about 10pm....

Living in the Frozen North, yes, my heating comes on most mornings. I knock it back a bit if it feels a bit too warm. I see research has finally confirmed that women like to be warmer than men do.... durr... ?

Mine is a bit Hokey Cokey. If I’m in the south facing kitchen, mostly in the morning it’s off. My sitting room faces north so is several degrees chillier and although I close the door and use a fleecy blanket, if it gets cold during the evening I put the heat on. Bedroom is fine as it faces south and stores some heat during the day. I am nearly £300 in credit with Octopus so hoping that will carry me through the winter along with my monthly dd of £70
