Have you got the heating on yet. ? I have 😍 I hate being cold

pinkbackground · 14/09/2025 20:56

Electric blanket on - does that count?!

WWomble · 14/09/2025 20:55

No, been tempted, especially in the damp chilly early mornings!

Actually, a jumper will solve it. Tour nose is cold because your body is using energy to keep your core and your organs warm and withdrawing circulation a bit from the extremities. Ergo, put a jumper (and a hat) on and your nose will warm up.

Sorry that doesn’t work for me

SerendipityDiamond · 14/09/2025 20:55

Yes it’s lovely.

SkankingWombat · 14/09/2025 20:54

The temperature drop means we've all had our jumpers and fluffy socks on, but it isn't cold enough for the heating yet.
However... the dampness is a problem. I've had the dehum running all week where the washing is drying, which has helped a bit, but the whole house now feels a bit damp. I'm WFH tomorrow whilst DH is in the office, so I'll be popping it on for a few hours to dry the place out (he won't have it on until some arbitrarily chosen date).

YesImaman1100 · 14/09/2025 20:51

Been on today!

gamerchick · 14/09/2025 20:50

It's 22° in the room I'm in, so no.

What will you do when its really cold?!

On these threads usually someone will declare they are still in shorts and t shirt and why dont you just put a jumper on etc. But if Im cold it’s always my nose that feels it first and a jumper wont solve that. Having said that we haven’t put the heating on yet.

Yes - the nose! How does one get around that?! One winter when the heating had broken, I actually bought a little knitted nose cover you tie sound the back of your head! 😅

I keep having to put my fan on still, i'm seriously worried i'm peri at 35.

I had the fan on today too @AlmostAJillSandwich

I'm not 35 and definitely post menopause but the hot flashes do not stop.

FiveBarGate · 14/09/2025 20:16

GleisZwei · 14/09/2025 16:55

It's not remotely cold here (North of Scotland).

Edited

@GleisZwei I was going to say the same. Still too hot at night for me

AquaFurball · 14/09/2025 20:13

Mine is set to come on when indoors temperature hits 15.5°C. It turned itself on this afternoon. It is cold today in this part of Scotland. I normally make it to October without heating.

GroovyChick87 · 14/09/2025 20:12

Not yet but electric blanket is on the bed and I've been wearing warmer tops.

GleisZwei · 14/09/2025 20:09

PollieDarton · 14/09/2025 20:08

I have a condition that makes it difficult to regulate my body temperature and yes I actually put the heating on this morning. I’m unashamed. And I’d do it again too! 😃🥶

Of course you shouldn't feel bad about that!

Same here! Mine currently 23c. It's freezing 🥶

We're in Scotland too, not turned ours on properly since around April. We've had such a warm summer here, compared to last few years.
We do run the dehumidifier if we want to dry washing and avoid damp, but 90% of the time I've been able to dry laundry outside (slurry days have been as common as rainy days).

Agrumpyknitter · 14/09/2025 20:01

We popped ours on for a bit. I usually run hot but can’t stand to be cold.

Focusispower · 14/09/2025 19:41

I did here for an hour - was showing at 17 degrees in the house but also it has been pouring all day and I wanted to avoid the house being damp. We set our thermostat at 19 so never a boiling house - I prefer to be on the cooler side.

BlurryEyesAndChubbyThighs · 14/09/2025 19:39

No I nearly did but by time I cooked dinner the house was so hot I've now got all the windows open.

WhineAndWine1 · 14/09/2025 19:38

@BeeDavisPersonally i am £300 in credit to my energy company so I couldn’t care less if my bills are a bit higher because I out the heating on in September. Like I said I am not sitting in my house under 20 jumpers and a dressing gown when I can afford to put the heating on.

Dobbyismyabsolutefav · 14/09/2025 19:25

Whatwouldnanado · 14/09/2025 17:06

Yup. Throws and fluffy socks on the go. And crumble for tea. Ready to hibernate.

I want crumble now.

Dobbyismyabsolutefav · 14/09/2025 19:24

I've dug out a heated blanket this evening. Although I think I'm coming down with a cold so that hasn't helped.
