Your thermostat temperature?

Get an electric blanket for your bed. You can get one with 2 different sides and leave his off and turn yours on.

Between 18 and 21 depending how I’m feeling, but that’s only when it’s on, we don’t have it on all the time. I’ve just set up a scheduled for a few days given this cold snap but generally we turn it on just on the mornings and evenings we need it. Though recently been experimenting with leaving it on overnight in case it helps our two year old sleep.

Had the heating in for 7 hours today, never normally have it on that long as cant affors it
Normally only have the heating on for 3 hours a day
and even with the 7 hours today, the temperature only rises to about 16. Its crazy cold
I sit with a hoodie and a sherpa blanket and still its cold...
Bedroom is now 12'
I have medical needs but i cant afford to keeo the house warm. Its going to be a long Winter
Is it March yet?

16
i preheat the bed with an electric blanket, then shut it off for sleep.

The thermostat will tell the boiler to stop heating when it gets to 20 degrees inside regardless of the temperature outside or the rate of heat loss. If it can’t maintain 20 degrees then the boiler and/or the radiators are undersized. Turning up the thermostat won’t fix that.

I have been on many many nanny MN threads for over 2 decades & this has to be the funniest & yet understandable reason ever. I'd never turn the heating down 'just in case'. 😂😂😂

18 degrees, no heating on at night ever

18 during the day, 15 at night. I turn it up occasionally if I'm cold and do turn selective radiators off/down depending on where I am in the house. We have a log burner which we usually use during the 3-4 coldest months. Currently -3 outside but the heating is off so it hasn't gone down to 15 in the house yet. Our heating costs a fortune but the house is old and draughty and I can't bear being cold.

22° overnight, one dc runs warm so slightly cooler for her room. We are blessed to sleep in a warm home

Mine is staying on tonight, I’m cold. It’s set to 16.5 for tonight
usually around 18c if I’m awake

I’m genuinely sorry. I didn’t mean to sound so insensitive.

19 in the morning and evening, much lower the rest of the time when I'm either out or in bed.

Yes, it's almost like people have different situations & needs isn't it

😂😂

I don’t work hard. I only work frontline in NHS and lone-parent in my downtime.

Which is why I only deserve to have my house at 10.5 degrees by day.

I can’t afford to have my heating on other than evenings. Today whilst WFH ringing patients this was how cold my house was.

21° at all times.
We all work too hard to be cold in our down time. Fuck that noise.

I don't think it actually matters anyway. You get used to what yours needs to be set at for your home to be comfortable (if you can afford to do that) I actually have a wireless one I can move around & find putting it in the bedroom
on a low setting with the radiator on very low means the rest of the house is a more steady comfortable temperature.

Some people have health problems, or are elderly and need a warm room. Does that help you understand it!

I came to realise that when it’s colder outside, my thermostat had to be increased for the house to be warm. I didn’t understand it because, like you, I assumed if the thermostat was at 20c, the room would be that temperature irrespective of the temperature outside. It turns out that the colder the weather, the quicker a house loses heat. When it’s very cold that loss happens fast enough that the thermostat needs to be increased in order to maintain the 20c!

thats a sentence no parent should ever have to say or write xx

making him as comfortable as you possibly can is the only thing that matters

this random on line sends you much love

16 when I go to bed (it was at 14 but we’ve had snow and wind here), 18 through the day & 20 in the evening. Teens have wee plug in heaters if they want their rooms warmer than that.

Old house, but we added insulation and double glazing. Once the house reaches the temp and the heating cuts out, it tends to maintain that temp for a decent while, so often it’s not on at all.

18 during the day. It goes off at 9pm and comes back on at 7.30 in the morning. I can't sleep if the room is warm.

21 round the clock for us. It's been very frosty out the last couple of days, so I've had it at 22.5 for a few hours by day. I imagine we'll be paying more than usual on our DD for a bit this winter (I've been using the tumble quite a bit too), but needs must.

18 would be nice.

17-17.5 here in the day. Off at night.

I'd prefer warmer really.

Disabled child and parent here. I don’t quibble with the cost - thermostat is set to 22 at all times. We have a log burner that tries to heats the house too, but it is a poorly built and draughty place that is right on the Atlantic. It’s never as warm as I’d like it to be, and loses heat so quickly.
