Have you put the heating on yet?

[MTVN]

I'm determined to leave it as late as possible and so far that's been fine as it's been fairly mild but today was the first day I felt rather chilly and very tempted, went and got a second jumper instead. Of course you can always keep putting extra layers on but it's not very pleasant being in a cold room and that chill is still on your face. I'll try go a couple more weeks though then I probs will start putting the heating on a bit

[bots]

yeah, my heating is on, it was off during the warm spell, but now its back on. I have a fixed priced deal for my gas which is a steal given current prices

[Crimson Dynamo]

Iv not (save the bathroom towel rail). Its 4 C outside now and will be around
-2C at 4 am.

This afternoon was around 8C and that is when my hands get a bit cold. Next
week it gets mild again so I cant see me putting it on in the next fortnight
unless my girls are here, the boy just gets a hot water bottle and he is grand.
When the daytime temps get below 8 C I will relent and stick a radiator in the
room i am in, on. At night (very warm fleecy quilt) and in morning when I get up im not bothered at all as im moving around.

[Josy]

Yes it's baltic

[Crimson Dynamo]

This green biodiverse heating will get you through a lot of cold days

[thesheriff443]

Yes it’s been on for a while

[Beso]

2 hours per night...30 minutes before tea time and a hearty meal.

Switch off 1.5 hours later..


Make sure all curtains are drawn, doors closed, and radiators turned off in the rooms you won't be going in.

Nice furry blankly for the drifting off snooze after tea..

Purrfection. If theres no big bangs.

[Niamh.]

Yep, getting chilly now

[Mystic Mock]

I put it on today.

[Cherie]

Put it on yesterday as it was wet and cold when we got back from Spain, not had it on this evening as its very mild....

[bots]

its 7C here tonight :laugh:

[AnnieK]

Not yet. My dad had his on when I went to see him yesterday and it was nice to be a warm house :laugh: To be honest though, ive not felt too cold yet.....and my son hasn't moaned so all good so far

[smudgie]

Been on for weeks now, everyday, all day.:blush:

[hijaxers]

Not had ours on so far , but close to having to as early morning is getting to cold now , sat here with a hot water bottle and blanket.

[James]

No, extra jumpers really work wonders.

[Crimson Dynamo]

My fingerless gloves are on

[Josy]

Had my heating on most of the day it's been freezing [emoji3063]

[James]

I read this article about the potential fire danger when using electric heaters to heat rooms.

[Cherie]

No heating yet

[Redway]

We live in lean times indeed but not freezing to death or turning into anthropomorphic ice-blocks is a basic human right. Obviously the heating’s on at this point.

cockroachs can survive until they actually freeze.

Most like fairly high temps though ..

Most of mine have a heat gradient of between 80F and 92F …in their vivariums

Thats clever

[Vanessa]

Yes, but only for about half an hour a day. And only when it's cold. Today it's not needed.

[MTVN]

I was tempted today but have resisted, it's been about 9 degrees here today and very wet

[Cherie]

You seem quite the expert :laugh:

[MTVN]

I was at my parents overnight and it was so nice and toasty compared to my cold flat that I have buckled when I got home this afternoon and the heating is on

Pray for my smart meter

[bots]

I've been toasty for weeks :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

its 2 C here at mo outside so Iv put on a low heat for the boy in the living room, here in my study its 15 C so no heating is needed, well iv installed a small Glenfiddich

[Alf]

What, at those prices?

I'd rather freeze to death

[Gusto Brunt]

Nope. I'm leaving that until December. :p

I've put a coat on in the house. And three coats in November I expect. But I am not giving money to the energy companies until I really need to.

I had two hot water bottles in bed last night. Warm as toast. :D

[caprimint]

Of course, bloody freezing out here

[Ammi]

…not yet…but I’m on stage 1…/…wearing big warm sweaters more now…

[Beastie]

No

[Redrose]

I have a nest but mainly use an electric blanket during winter.

[Cherie]

yep put it on yesterday for a few hours and this morning , going to be nippy tonight I think

[arista]

Not Yet

[AnnieK]

Nope......not yet. We had hot water bottles last night but not had to resort to heating yet

[Alf]

What you need is a nice coal fire.

It's also double pleasure. Not only does it keep you roastie, toastie but if pi55es off the Green tyrants too.

[andybigbro]

Yes it's baltic

This 100%! :laugh:

I love a "real" fire and grew up with a coal fire - my sister still has an open fire - BUT I hate to be the bearer of bad news Alf, they made buring "proper" coal illegal a few years back. You have to use smokeless coal, dry logs or other alternatives (all of them are significantly more expensive than proppa old fashioned coal).

Obviously no one is going to know if you're burning normal coal - but good luck buying it in the first place.

The **** coal with a log on top works a treat

[Babayaro.]

No! I refuse!

[Gusto Brunt]

Haha, I had the real fire on for the last few days. But I'm running out of smokeless coal so I am wearing big coat a friend gave me.:hee:

In the house. :p

It's meant for 20 below zero temperatures. :shocked::shocked:

I'm warm as toast. It works. :D

In fact I'm sweating a little. :joker::joker:

[Vanessa]

Yes. Way too cold without it.
