Anyone else tempted to put the heating on

[HeyMonkey]

Absolutely hideous here. Pissing down, thundering, I've opened a nice chianti, and I'm home alone so no DP to start flapping around the thermostat. I'm tempted to stick it on.

No, not here. Although it seems I'm in the minority. I enjoy it being cooler. In our house, unless we are wrapped up and still chilly, the heating stays off. Love being snuggled in a blanket as it gets cooler.

Tempted? It's already on. It's damp and bloody Baltic here.

Had it on for half hour a couple days ago as I was shivering in bed. I need to locate my hot water bottle.

Dh said the same. I laughed. He normally needs it on at the last possible minute = mid February.

I thought about it but just my hoody on instead, I'm nice and toasty in this, I refuse to put the heating on until October at the earliest because how dare it be bloody cold in August

Mine was on for an hour, Hampshire.

I'm already in warm clothes and thick slipper socks. And I've been pottering around cleaning. The air was still cold.

@Bwekfusth did you innocently deny it?

Mines on, drying washing too

I'm hiding under a blanket on the sofa and wore wool sock to bed

I was thinking about putting it a couple of hours ago but talked myself out of it. On the back of this thread I've just thought 'fuck it' and the rads are just warming up 😊

Put it on for an hours blast. Gets the house warmed up. It is miserable outside and sometimes needs must

North east of Scotland and it has been on today.

It's cold, and damp, and my washing was still wet after 36hrs of 'drying' inside.

Fire was on yesterday too

I was gonna put it on earlier but dh talked me out of it as it's August! Its bloody freezing, kids have got their dressing gowns on, I've got a jumper and my slippers on! It's been raining all day and it's just miserable! He might be more easily swayed to light the open fire, men love to start fires!

Yes, my washing from Wednesday was still damp when I got in from work today. I put it in the tumbler for 30 mins.

August my arse.

I'm not cold. I'm in a delightfully sartorial combination of knee length shorts, sleeveless top with a sweatshirt type hoodie over it and stripy woollen socks.
I have 2 windows open, but have just put the heating on for 30 minutes as I washed a sleeping bag and although it feels dry, I want to make doubly sure before I stuff it in a sack and shove it in the cupboard. I don't use a tumble dryer and reckon that although doing this isn't eco friendly, it's got to be better to do this occasionally than always using a tumble dryer. In my defence, it has poured down with rain continually today!

Heating on? Not here. It's been chucking it down all day but it's not cold - 18 degrees here,I'm roasting in my pyjamas (vest top and trousers) I've got the window open a little.

Heating is on! 😬

Nope. It's August. I can't put the heating on in August. DH would though, if he was left unattended.

I put mine on for a little earlier. I was drenched and freezing and just needed it on lol

We just arrived at a caravan on the Welsh coast where it is very wet and windy. DH put the heating on because he thought it was cold though he insisted on having the air conditioning on in the car all the way here.

@Frownette I blamed the residual warmth on the tumble dryer having been on. I even said "yeah it is a bit warm isn't it?!" 🤫

I must say I'm a bit at everyone with the heating on its 16°C here and just like all my neighbour's I've got windows and backdoor open

I put mine on half an hour ago, I resisted earlier and pottered about instead but it's too cold to sit comfortably now. Dd and ds who are really nesh are delighted it's back on.

@Stressedout10 it was 35-38 degrees here a few weeks ago. Think it's made the 12-15 we've had lately feel a bit nippy!

16° is freezing.

I don't feel warm unless we have a crazy heatwave. 30° is warm.
