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.
