Really want to but am resisting. We have had the aircon (does heat as well as cold) on in the bedroom for a few minutes before bed the last few nights though!

If it's cold, and YOU are cold, then put the heating on! That's what it's for. You don't need permission from Mumsnet!

No. I forbid it.

YANBU

But you've absolutely done the right thing by asking Mumsnet first.

Imagine just walking up to the boiler and switching the heating on without running it by complete strangers first.

<< Shudders at the thought >>

It's been cold here the last few nights actually 🥶

Not at all unreasonable. Mine was off for parts of April, and on low twice a day, otherwise. I bumped it up the others evening, the house was cold!

Chocolateteapot8 · 16/05/2026 20:31

Mines on too!!

It’s been really cold where I live this week. We’ve had the heating on.

You have my permission! - mine's on, lovely.
