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

Strangerinastrangeland2023 · 14/09/2025 17:18

The heating isn't on but I have lit the wood burner a few times recently 😁

WannaFOffOnHoliday · 14/09/2025 17:18

Nope but got a hoodie on

PurpleYarnivore · 14/09/2025 17:17

Nope , we live in a highly insulated new build and I haven't worn more than a t shirt yet , the windows have been open on the latch since April . I usually don’t need to put any on til end Oct / early Nov .

RaraRachael · 14/09/2025 17:16

No. We're having a spell of lovely weather which doesn't seem to be the case in other parts of the UK.

It’s cold in my corner of NE but does get gloriously sunny in the day. I’ve needed it each morning and evening for a week or so though. We are very rural, high up and also old farmhouse. My brother 30mins away in town in a new build is probably still wearing shorts.

Our house is 80s and can definitely get cooler in the autumn/winter, but not yet this year.....I might be eating my hat next week.....or at least wearing it. 🤣

First day today! DH lit the log burner last night but only for a cleaning log before we start using it properly. Heating this eve just for an hour.

Ramblingaway · 14/09/2025 17:15

Yep, mine has fired itself up. Probably hasn't helped that I've run extractor fans all day to get rid of the smell of gloss paint. Still feeling a bit high on the fumes, but I can't stand a satinwood finish so it's the price I've got to pay.

OldMaaa · 14/09/2025 17:15

No. We live in a new(ish) build so it's plenty warm enough still.

Wildywondrous · 14/09/2025 17:14

Nope, I've got a lovely heated throw on the sofa so I'm toasty, I'm not going to pay to heat the whole house until it's properly cold

u3ername · 14/09/2025 17:14

Yes. First time, and we turned it on pretty much the same time you’ve started this thread. :)

Romeiswheretheheartis · 14/09/2025 17:14

No, but dd is complaining and has put her oodie on, so think it won't be long before I have to.

Just to clarify, it'll go on if needed and I'm not a competitive underheater by any means, it's just not cold here, and we're all fairly mobile/active. It's odd that one of the places furthest north appears to be less cold!

thesnailandthewhale · 14/09/2025 17:11

No, but I am right down in the South. Patio doors still wide open and a window open in every room, I hate rooms being stuffy. I did make a shepherds pie for tea earlier though :)

Lallybroch · 14/09/2025 17:11

We haven't had ours on yet but have come away for the weekend and the cottage heating has been on automatically and I must admit it is very pleasant.

ProudMummyxo · 14/09/2025 17:10

Yea cos gotta keep my baby warm 🙂 his bedroom can be like an igloo sometimes

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 14/09/2025 17:10

No I always hold out until October.

user1497787065 · 14/09/2025 17:10

No, but I did close some windows today for the first time since March.

Chipsahoy · 14/09/2025 17:10

Mine has kicked in every morning for a week. Scotland. It’s chilly in the mornings but lovely and sunny in the day.

BishBoshBashBish · 14/09/2025 17:10

Yes, two days running. It was down to 8 degrees here overnight and ‘feels like’ 8 degrees right now.

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

WhineAndWine1 · 14/09/2025 17:09

Yes It’s on here. It’s showing 17.5 and I have put it up to 20 I refuse to be cold or look like the Michelin Man in my own home.

Coffeeishot · 14/09/2025 17:08

ElinorDashwood68 · 14/09/2025 17:02

Yes, since Friday. Central Scotland

I can't believe how cold it has gotten,

MeatsAndCheesesAlwaysPleases · 14/09/2025 17:07

Yep it’s on here, 25 degrees because anything lower just doesn’t heat the house and seems pointless.
My home is old, with high ceilings though so you can really feel the chill especially at night/in the morning. I’m not fighting it, I refuse to be cold in my own home.

(Plus I am chronically ill so being cold exacerbates my conditions.)

orangegato · 14/09/2025 17:07

Yes because life is too short to freeze my tits off.

RedRiverShore5 · 14/09/2025 17:07

I have just put it on for the evening
