have you got your heating on yet?

Not yet. Our apartment is well insulated (a new build 12y old) and the balcony windows and door face south. I’m sat on the sofa behind glass in the sunshine right now wearing short sleeves! Not bad for 5 October anyway. With the proposed hike in energy prices I’m glad we’ve only got a small place to heat.

I don’t think it was insensitive Germanshepherdsmum. The question is ‘have you got your heating on yet?’ It was being answered.

It’s always on but clicks in when temperature drops below 21.

No heating yet no particular need not usually on until November

It was on for an hour yesterday morning.

Yes of course its on its October

That was a bit insensitive Bertha. So many on here can’t afford to say that. I’m one of the lucky ones but try never to forget it.

I've still got my windows open

I spent £30 on new throws and blankets - so the dog and cat can have 'newer' old ones now. I got them from:

and I'm still saving if it means another few weeks without the heating on!

We did put ours on the other night. OH is on blood thinners and he really feels the cold whereas I'm still having hot sweats , we had a delivery of wood for the log burner last week in preparation.

Yes of course its on its October

No I’m usually fine till November I’m not a cold morsel and keep busy during the day and just wear a jumper and a small blanket on my lap if it’s cold in the evening.

No, not yet, as it's not got really chilly here. I have got some fluffy blankets out to wrap up in if I sit down for long!

My heating is timed and low and comes on now and then. It’s difficult as DH is far less mobile than me and feels the cold even if he dresses up. He’s no help as he leaves all the doors open and stands at the backdoor, wide open so he can see what’s happening.

I’m very concerned about our fuel bill come the winter. I can generally make do and go to bed if necessary but DH just carries on regardless.
