Mine’s on a thermostat set to same temps all year round. Each room is individually set and in the last few days a couple of radiators have come on in the morning and my living room one is on now. Temp has definitely dropped since about mid week here.

I don't think there is a month where I don't have the heating on. (Scotland)

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

Flicked it on for the first time this morning . I’m in the south and it was rainy and miserable .

cc99xo · 14/09/2025 19:17

I’ve had my heating on today. I probably could just stick on more layers but I’m more comfortable in minimal clothing round the house (Ie leggings and vest top etc) so the heating will definitely be on from now on! :)

Tunacheesequesadilla · 14/09/2025 19:15

Yes. My husband's employer pays for our heating and they're being bastards to him so I don't feel bad for turning the heating on.

Yep had mine on twice, I hate being cold. Even under blankets and dressing gowns i can feel the cold in the air and I refuse to sit in the cold!

I'm the same. It doesn't matter how many blankets I'm under if the air is cold I'm cold.

ruffler45 · 14/09/2025 19:11

No heating but hot water bottles for a cold bed and feet...

Don't be silly 🤣😁😂 it's not even cold yet! 🤣🤣🤣

tumblingdowntherabbithole · 14/09/2025 19:05

No way, it's nowhere near cold enough. We still have the doors and windows open.

LittleCarrot12 · 14/09/2025 19:04

On now as struggling with uniforms drying. Otherwise I’m October-March as it’s too expensive

tesseractor · 14/09/2025 19:04

Hearing hasn’t come on yet, thermostat is set to come on at 17, I checked earlier and the house was at 17.8. I have been feeling chilly.

I did put on socks in the morning for the first time today and I’ve got out the heated throw from its summer hidey hole. It’s worth its weight in gold, and I’m no longer chilly cuddled up under it.

CharlotteCChapel · 14/09/2025 19:04

DH has hidden the thermostat. I've started wearing my dressing gown and winter wear generally. I'll be lucky if the heating goes on by November.

rainbowunicorn · 14/09/2025 19:03

Laughing at all the people declaring that no they don't have heating on them in the next breath they have the gas fire, log burner, open fire, electric heaters on. It's all heating. Dosent matter if it's gas central heating or not it still heats 😂

SnowFrogJelly · 14/09/2025 19:02

Yes it’s getting chilly in the eves

Decafflatteplease · 14/09/2025 19:01

No, can't afford to put it on this early! Big old draughty house, boiler 30plus year old boiler and rubbish insulation. Oh and 12 foot ceilings!

We've got a dehumidifier which helps a bit. Plenty of layers available and throws for couch etc. we try to get to October before it goes on. Last year was sept 26th. I know this as we have a smart meter 😂

BeeDavis · 14/09/2025 17:46

its absolutely nowhere near cold enough for the heating! Put a dressing down or hoodie on. You’ll all be moaning about your energy bills in a few months! Ours won’t go on til November! Hopefully even later than that!

How can you say categorically that it isn't cold enough. You dont know what the temperature is everywhere. What the wind chill factor is. What kind of housing people have or what health issues they may have.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 14/09/2025 18:59

Yobba Rays on!

IKnowAristotle · 14/09/2025 18:59

Put it on for an hour today. Martin Lewis, I have failed you!

suffedpeppers · 14/09/2025 18:58

Lying on sofa with fleecy blanket and dog on top of me ! Heating will go on for an hour when I next get off my arse .
Was in Rhodes yesterday 34c so this temperature is rather chilly!

TSMWEL · 14/09/2025 18:55

We live in the NW and no, it’s nowhere near cold enough! One of the kids is in shorts and T-shirt! We do have the wind starting to pick up but the thermostat is set to 18, so it’ll come on if it needs to. Currently says 22 so I don’t think it will.

Elsvieta · 14/09/2025 18:52

Yes, twice this week, for the first time since April I think. Somerset.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 14/09/2025 18:52

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

LittleLogOut · 14/09/2025 18:51

Yes

WonderingWanda · 14/09/2025 18:50

No, It's been 20 degrees in my house today, but it seems to have warmed up a but this evening since we've been cooking.
