I very rarely have my heating on if I can help it....not because I'm tight (honest) but I don't like the dry heat....if I have it on, it's for an hour to melt the ice off the inside of the windows :laugh:

..if it get really cold then I usually just put it on for an hour in the morning and the same in the evening but usually not until around late November/early December...unless one of us are coming down with something and have a chill, it may go on for a while but we usually just wrap in throws/blankets....

We have it on all the time, as apparently you use less like that? I dont understand how that works but apparently it does :suspect:

Yeah if you have it on low it doesn't have to heat all the way up from cold so it doesn't use as much...

Oh really, I love a cosy warm house, hate that chilly feel, I had it on last night for an a few hours as it was so wet the house felt cold when I got in from work.

I sometimes have to open all the windows to cool the house down a bit before Dave gets home.. So he doesn't know I've had the heating on full for like 8 hours :laugh:

..my house is quite warm Cherie and when I'm working it's usually empty so I hardly ever put it on during the day...

when im in alone 25 or above when hes in its bloody 20 and it doesn't go on then he wibbles some crap about well it must b on that temperature. then we got one of them cards that says when its too hot or cold so I get that out and say risk of illness we need to turn it up. thankfully hes out tonight @ 6pm so the heating will go on bloody full @ 6pm its cold and wet outside.

Lee!! That's terrible haha!
Remember my mum and dad having thermostat wars... he would put it on 18 and she would crank it to 25 when he wasn't looking.

Technically ours should be as well, its got everything insulated/double glazed, I think I just feel the cold.

I hate too much dry heat,but I do have to put it on for the kids and OH obviously,I usually just leave it on lowish all night,while I have a fan by my side of the bed,lol,I crank it up when it's really cold,but if we light the fire first thing in the morning that's usually enough to be comfortable.

I don't put mine on till about 12 noon as im out walking dogs in the morning and I hate being too hot 1st thing as I cant get awake properly. so its goes on about 12 noon for about an hour then it goes on evening till I actually get too hot.

You cant beat a real fire I don't think,its messy I know but could never do without it,it's so comforting:hugesmile: I only have the heating on low at night in the cold months Kizzy because of the kids.

I'm not sure what the thermostats at tbh.

Our heating switches on at 7 in the morning until 9 then again at 9pm until 11pm and if we want to we just put it on between those times too.

We have 2 oil heaters we use along with that too.

Our house is well insulated so quite warm to start with.

No heating on today as yet, had it on an hour yesterday then it was too hot.

I don't get why people have the thermostat up to summer temperatures.

When it goes on it is set at 15...and I only set it on timed when our son says it is too cold to get up or work on a morning.
My bedroom radiator is turned off, as is the guest bedroom and utility..if it goes too hot downstairs I open the kitchen door.

Once the really cold winter sets in I consider turning it up a bit, we have never slept with it on through the night. When the kids were little it went off before they went to bed.

Oh yes I agree about real fires, I would love one...we make do with the one in my avatar , quite real looking and easy to turn on.
