Anyone else still not put the heating on?

[MsMiaWallace]

We haven't here.
It still doesn't feel cold enough in the house for me. Although ours neighbours is on (which probably keeps us warmer).

Not yet, Eastern Scotland. Will stick it out until it gets really cold.

Nope. Turned our thermostat right down, not kicked in yet. Blankets / hot water bottles / layers are applied as required! Kids oodies have been invaluable.

Ours has been on since 2 weeks ago. Feel miserable being cold.

Nope. South east here. Sat in the garden in my T-shirt for lunch today as it was 20 degrees.

Not yet still very mild weather in East Anglia

I'm terrified about this. Is that because of the age of the house?

We haven't yet

When it's cold enough we will

Ours still isn't kicking in 🤷🏼‍♀️. I'm wondering if we've a dodgy thermostat

Have a few days for a couple of hours but definitely not at the moment as lovely. My flat (rented) doesn’t get warm from the sun at all though so when I’m working I’m in a hoodie with then go out in short sleeves.

Too warm in London currently. I plan to get through November before even thinking about it.

Possibly. The kids clothes were damp when I took them out of their wardrobe. I put the hall radiator on and not the living room. I wouldn't have done that before but the heat in the hall keeps the edge off the other rooms and we have heated throws in the living room.

Same here

Still haven't. It's 17 degrees during the day, so not bad. If I feel a bit of a chill I put on an extra layer - shawl or fleecy top.

Once because the childminder was here and feels the cold. We've avoided it. Lowest its dropped to is 14

I buy special sachets which absorb the damp. I keep one in each of the drawers which hold clothes and the wardrobes. You can see them fill up with water over time...they really do work.

Yes. We live in Leicestershire and the weather here has been absolutely glorious this week, 17C and sunny, so there is no need at all to have the heating on. It’s currently 21c in our house. It was cold here in the last week of September so we had it on then, but not since.

Thank you

Nope, and still have summer duvet on the bed.

I wonder how long we can hold out! I just used to thoughtlessly flick it on before whenever it got a bit chilly. Now I feel it a bit but still the rosy glow from saving on energy costs compensates for that! I’m popping layers on and seeing how long I can leave it. I think I’m getting used to it. Looking forward to snuggling up in bed with my bottle ❤️

Hot water not gin!!

Nope we haven't yet. South west and coping ok right now.

No but its been mild and the temp in the house hasn't dropped below 17 degs c.

We even went camping at the weekend 😁

Warm enough here to not need it yet. South west

Absolutely not!

1. it’s still 17/18 during the day and not even dropped that much at night
2. weve never put the heating on unless the house goes down to 12 and even then it’s usually only on for an hour to bring it up a few degrees.
3. it’s been 19 in the house for the last 2 weeks.

it’s jumpers and duvets if your cold in this house and then if it’s super cold and many of us are in agreement.. then it will go on... but only if it’s below 12 😜

Yep, it's on for 90mins at 6.30am and then another 90 mins at 5.30pm.
I don't live in a new build in the SE 🙄
