I'm NE England. Heating has been on today. Really nippy here. I am coming down with a cold though so may be feeling colder than usual. Dh said it's cold too though.

Where are you if it's gone on?

West Midlands - very chilly here - I had cost and gloves on to walk dogs

mynameiscalypso · 12/09/2024 20:27

London here and we had it on for today. Our house is quite old (and a bit damp) so it feels cold very quickly. Plus we are all ill.

East Midlands

I have given in tonight, the air in the house feels really cold. Thermostat said 18 degrees upstairs, so not icey but my feet and hands are freezing.

I'm calling it a pre-test ready for winter 😂

I finally caved and put it on at about 7 pm today. Outer SW London, but it really was chilly today - even dh remarked on it, and he’s usually the last to feel the cold.

AnneLovesGilbert · 12/09/2024 20:29

Only went on today and wouldn’t have done so if we didn’t have a crawling infant but it’s nagging cold down here. South east.

Petrie99 · 12/09/2024 20:30

Ours has gone on as its set to be 3 degrees overnight tonight. Manchester.

JaninaDuszejko · 12/09/2024 20:31

North East. Ours comes on automatically once the house temperature drops below 19C.

strangeandfamiliar · 12/09/2024 20:31

Yes, on since last night. London - old cold house!

Muchtoomuchtodo · 12/09/2024 20:31

Our thermostat is set to come on at 18 degrees.

It was 18.1 this morning and is 18.3 now!

just got home and the car said it’s 9 degrees so I have high hopes that it might come on tomorrow morning! South Wales

NE Scotland . Came on yesterday. Was very cold overnight.

I am also in East Midlands - camping out on the sofa under a duvet ..

if the price of electricity wasn’t so high would join you

East of England. We put the heating on last night as the children's bedrooms were cold - we have smart thermostats on the radiators and have set the heating to kick on in their rooms if it gets too cold. I am still avoiding using the heating apart from that, though.

Can't believe how much the temperature has dropped so quickly!

LoquaciousPineapple · 12/09/2024 20:32

North West. Had it on Tuesday and today (because I was working from home) and in my car on my commute in yesterday. It's been really chilly here this week!

25soexcited · 12/09/2024 20:33

Yes on here in SE .

FawnFrenchieMum · 12/09/2024 20:33

West Yorkshire, it had come on over night here and then again at tea time for an hour.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 12/09/2024 20:34

I cracked and put it on today for the first time since spring. My son complained of the cold getting out of bed this morning and he never admits to feeling cold, so I put it on for an hour. Usually we don't need it until October.

We are in London.

EternallyDelighted · 12/09/2024 20:34

Our thermostat is set to 18 at 6am and 7pm for a couple of hours each time (13 the rest of the time), it came on this morning, SE England.

Allmarbleslost · 12/09/2024 20:34

Ours is set to come on at 18 degrees and it came on today

frecklejuice · 12/09/2024 20:34

SE London, had it on for the first time last night and for an hour tonight.

stayathomer · 12/09/2024 20:36

Midlands in Ireland, due to go down to one degree tonight- freak cold front!!!! Loving having heating on!!!

onwardsup4 · 12/09/2024 20:37

Cornwall and its on. Weather looks much better for next week though

RareTulipsDisplay · 12/09/2024 20:38

I live in Somerset and I'm warm enough without the heating on - and I do feel the cold as I have an underactive thyroid. However I live in a modern, well insulated house.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 12/09/2024 20:39

West Yorkshire, log burner on but not the heating yet!

Eukanuba · 12/09/2024 20:39

West Yorkshire. Resisted until 7pm, then had it on for 30 minutes.

DuskandDawn · 12/09/2024 20:40

East Yorkshire. 6° this morning
