Anyone else put their heating on?

The heating went on last night as it was so cold here at Market Harborough and I am from the north east but I don't like the cold. brrrrrrrrrrr

We only heat 2 downstairs rooms and 1 bathroom- unless we have guests.

A week ago! Also have the log burner going in the kitchen now. Feel the cold dreadfully and get Raynauds at the drop of a degree. Love the cosiness of my open fire too.

yes- but only in the evening and last couple of days. Been resisting and putting extra layers on, and back to wearing socks. Oil is so expensive at the moment and with the dreadul Sterling exchange rate ... heating will be a real luxury this year. Thank foodness for the big wood burning stove and the availability of decently priced wood.

Crikey yes, been on since mid-September. Individual programmable thermostats in each room mean that I only heat what's needed, so not quite as wasteful as it might be!

I have put my storage heaters on low in hall and living room. Have arthritis and poor circulation and not very mobile. Never have heating in bedroom or kitchen. Leave all the doors open so heat circulates around the bungalow.

It's always cold and wet in Bury but the market warms the cockles of my heart whenever I return!

I live on a narrow boat...no central heating. Did throw a few bits of wood on this morning to warm the boat up....doesn't take much

I am also living in a flat with other flats above, below and either side. I am on the south coast with windows facing south or south east. On a sunny day like today, still wearing t-shirt during the day with windows open. We go away next week so heating will not go on until we return at the end of November .

Still “warm”in SE, but early mornings ( 5am) I succumb to a couple of hours of heat. BTW our thermostat is normally on 15C

Damn right!!

I am really lucky, since I returned from Egypt 6 years ago and moved into this sheltered flat I have never used any heating. I am on 1st floor so have flats either side, one below and 2 above , I have put on a cardigan from time to time. Today I have my windows open a little and I am wearing a tshirt and not even chilly. My daughters house is freezing really freezing but she is on a corner so has 3 exposed walls.

I did put the central heating on yesterday as it was so cold and dank in here.... but I've turned it off again this morning as it's sunny and milder.

I came home yesterday and the house seemed as dank and cold as the day outside - so on went the heating. Well - you are told to check it before the winter, I believe? I switched it off after a couple of hours, but it did make all the difference. I do like a separate gas fire as that is so handy if the evenings are chilly and you don't want the whole system roaring away.

Yep ours is set to 20 so when the temp drops it kicks in as it has for last few days

Yes. Its been in a week!! DH went to put an hour on but pressed the wrong button so its on timer. Lovely

Caved in last night and put it on once the sun had gone down!
I was determined to try not to as long as I could, but for the past few nights, my legs and feet have been freezing when I have gone to bed despite sheepskin slippers. It takes me ages to get to sleep then .
Might even put my winter weight quilt on the bed this weekend!

Yes for an hour morning and evening otherwise condensation rears it’s head

Same as Daisymae When it needs to come on it does.

Yes! Central thermostat set at 22. Sometimes whack it up a bit at night but have a throw in the evenings which I highly recommend.

Not yet but I have got the gas fire on. Have no problem putting CH on any time of year - won’t be cold in my own home.

Ours operates with a thermostat and timer, so comes on by itself if it’s cool enough at those set times. It’s been cool enough this week, so yes, I’ve had my CH on in the morning and later in the evening when the temperature has dropped enough. There’s a boost option, too, should it drop cooler between those set times, if I need to put the heating on then, though I’ve not needed to do that just yet, thank goodness!

My heating is on 24/7 controlled by the thermostat set at 22 degrees. The bedrooms and study have thermostats on the radiators so they operate at a lower level than lounges and bathrooms.

Oh yes its on - my feet were freezing yesterday. Thank heavens for Octopus running this 4 bed house electricity and gas is £100 a month which is reasonsable - I have to be warm or I just seize up all over. DH sits around in a tee shirt.

I've had a high temperature so until yesterday I had the windows open, but today my new medication is working and my temperature is almost normal so I really felt the cold. On went the heating and the sitting room window stayed closed all day, but I like a cold bedroom so that window is still open.
