I’m cold. But also poor so I’m doing my best to keep it off!

Southern Ontario. l have the ac back on tonight, its humid outside and someones woodfire smoke is bothering me so I needed to shut the windows.

Nicebloomers · 28/09/2024 07:28

I succumbed to putting it on this morning. It’s 4 degrees outside brrr

Flaskfan · 28/09/2024 07:24

I've caved. Mainly because everything feels slightly damp. We tried to hold off until almost November the other year, becauseit's a big house and i was scared of the bills but the house ended up with horrible damp patches. Lesson learned. I also get reynauds and chilblains, so trying to ward those off for a bit longer.

8 degrees here. Have put the heating on 20. Fingers were so cold, I had difficulty moving them.

No not yet but this isn't the sort of September I remember, it's cold and damp. We've had a couple of fires though just to be a bit cosy and get rid of the horrible damp feeling.

BabyR · 27/09/2024 23:35

Mine went on for the first time today. I have a brand new house so I want to keep it warm to prevent any damp.

Hoardasauruskaren · 27/09/2024 23:04

I’ve had it on for the odd hour or so over the last week. Thermostat set at 18 so clicks on if below that.

Allywill · 27/09/2024 23:02

yes. i really feel the cold and put it on when i need it - we can afford it though and appreciate how fortunate that makes us.

I'd love to know where you all are to still have your AC on. It's been in single figures here today, with the thermostat showing the flat as 15-16c most of the day.

So would I. It is very cold here in South Yorkshire.

No chance! In our house it’s not allowed until November

Why not?

No, I still had the air con (small portable thing) running on Monday as my flat is so hot! Its still 22 degrees inside and no heating since April time. Bonus of a flat. I did enjoy sitting next to the radiator at work today as i was soaking wet

Ignore that, I just checked and the ac isn't on. Dh said he turned it off last night.

TwinklyNight · 27/09/2024 20:53

No, our ac is still on.

RampantIvy · 27/09/2024 20:32

It's 6 degrees here. Of course the heating is on.

KohlaParasaurus · 27/09/2024 18:00

Ours has started to come on with the thermostat. DH has set the thermostat a degree or two lower than I would, but I'm not going to get into a game of thermostat wars.

lazyarse123 · 27/09/2024 08:50

We had ours on for an hour last night. I don't feel the cold unless I'm just sat, but we both have throws.

Decafflatteplease · 27/09/2024 08:42

We've caved and put in on just for half an hour this morning. We were hoping to get to October but it was 15 degrees inside so gave it a quick blast

ODFOx · 16/09/2024 09:30

Not yet, but we were out all day on Saturday and I sat with a blanket over my knees when we got home.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 16/09/2024 09:00

It was cold last night! I might treat myself to teddy bear fleece bedding for winter as it’s so cosy! Dd1 keeps getting in bed with me in the night so will keep her cosy too. I wonder if they cot bed teddy bear fleece bedding. Off to google 😁

RobinEllacotStrike · 13/09/2024 12:02

I put a blanket on top of my duvet (still summer weight) last night. I need to dig out my quilted throw today - I do like the added weight that gives as well as the warmth.

I've put ours on for an hour this morning. It's crazy that just a week ago I was still in shorts...

I know it was 4℃ outside when I got up this morning - no wonder I had to get up in the night and scrabble around in the airing cupboard to find the quilted throw for the bed 🥶.

My thermostat is in the hallway - warmest bit of the house, south facing with sun streaming through the window. Currently at 20 I know this means the rest of the house is about 18.

looks like I will be giving the heating another blast this evening.

sleepwithblanket · 13/09/2024 08:24

1.5 degrees this morning and I had to defrost the car.
