Anyone else put their heating on?

Put it on occasionally in the mornings for a couple of hours if it feels chilly. By next month it will be every morning! Evenings I can cope with at the moment, I just put a thick cardi on. And it will soon be time for the winter duvet.
Heating went on this evening though when I came home tonight from being in a cold building all day! And it was the first day when I felt in need of a winter coat, with frost this morning.
Although I must say my house rarely drops below 20 even in winter, must be well insulated. If my thermostat was set to 16 or 18 my heating would never come on! Really cold nights and I put the fire on in the sitting room.

How truly lovely Urmstongran good for you I say. Living here in the NE I’ve almost forgotten what warm feels like .

I really love hearing about your travels in and around Malaga

It is gillybob ... it’s wonderful. And anyone who owns a house mortgage free can do the same as us if they chose to.

We are not at all wealthy. We just sold the house and downsized to two small apartments. Lock up, quite safe, no fear of a break in at either end - and go!

How lovely it must be to go somewhere where you are almost guaranteed to be warm for a while every year .

Well that’s the North South divide for you isn’t it? maybe we in the frozen North should get a government cold allowance . (Joke)

We put ours on this morning, when I left the house at 8.30 the car thermostat said 4 degrees!

Yes the heating is on. I’ve just returned from southern Italy where on our last day it was 30 degrees. Needless to say, the heating went on immediately we walked into the house. That was yesterday, and it was 8 degrees outside as we drove back from the airport. No wonder the heating went on straight away.

Yes!! 2 hours last night.

I’m back out there in 3 weeks GillT so I’ll miss Hallowe’en, Bonfire Night and the end of BST - we are away all November till 12 Dec so I hope to stay warm!

Tried to hold out before putting our heating on but succumbed today. Now waiting for the coughing and sneezing to start. We always seem to get coughs and colds once we put ours on.

Last couple of days - Midlothian. Temp 4 to 6 degrees in morning and had to scrape ice off windscreen last 2 mornings. Yes on for an hour or two at night.

Welcome home urm! It has been quite mild here too until today with cold sunshine and now rather wet and chilly. You do realise you are doing this the wrong way? You should be in Spain enjoying the late summer sun!!

DH feels the cold massively. Heating on for several weeks set at 23 during the day and 20 at night. Oddly he’s from the NE of England and was prone to wearing tee shirts in November when I first met him more than 50 years ago. Now he’s a little hot house Southern flower ?

Mine is on now - and I have a long-sleeved T-shirt and two jumpers on. It is freezing here! Dreading the winter.

No heating yet, windows open most of the day but I did put my duvet on the bed today.

Ours has been in the morning and evening for weeks.
It's perishing here in Glasgow!

Yes, we’ve given in today. Once it’s on, it’s on till Spring, so we try to hold out as long as we can. It just felt so cold this morning. We usually have it on all day at 16, going up to 18 in the evening. It’s off overnight.

No! Been back in Urmston Gill since 18 September! I can’t believe it’s so mild here to be honest.

Yes. Turned it up to 19 and a half today. Our house is so well insulated it doesn't cut in very easily, and then I feel cold. Makes no sense but there.

Had a extra convector heater on where I've been sitting too. Too much sitting I know, but I'm in pain.

Urm but you are in Spain aren't you? Getting a bit chilly here

Don't have the heating on overnight, that would be too much. I like a warm bed in a cool well ventilated room. The heating is not on very high, and we have a fire in the living room for colder evenings. Have started wearing slippers instead of flip flops now, so definitely getting cooler!

No & still have the windows open. I like to be cosy and I’m warm - bare feet on the laminate flooring, a tee shirt and no long sleeves yet!

Nope, still have windows open all day. Short sleeves/skirt/bare feet. I follow my Gramphs example and no fire until at least November lol. My OH is usually the one who moans about the cold. We don't have central heating so have never got used to having hot rooms.
No duvet on my bed yet either, though he has winter one on his all year round.

Yes I have but it’s too stuffy to leave on all night, still having the occasional tropical vacation?. I’d rather layer up and have a blanket if it’s very cold or hot water bottle on my lap. OH doesn’t feel cold unless it is very very cold.

It has been so cold in my area of London today my heating has been on nearly all day.

It has been on for 3-4 hours each evening since the 30th of September. At this rate, I will be a block of ice in mid January.

After a shower, I go to bed with my 15 tog duvet and hot water bottle. I am a cold morsel.
