If the heating has gone on already what area are you in?

[alrightluv]

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?

I'm in south London and we've put the heating in for the first time today. I was so cold when I got up this morning and it's been lovely since the house warmed up.

London..two hours on today..

This is interesting!

In Scotland and it’s not been on yet. We have wood burner and use that regularly though.

This week has been much colder

SW, not quite cold enough for the heating but I’m wrapped up in warm socks and dressing gown.

South west. Ours came on this morning, so it must have been quite cold overnight - the thermostat is set quite low. I put the log burner on this evening, so that took the edge off the cold tonight.

London. Ent on tonight for half an hour, more than enough. Main issue is getting washing dry. House is now hot, heating off and my bedroom windows are open.

My kids are still in their Nike pro stupid shorts with massive hoodies. I'm still in shorts and flip flops too but my shirts have more coverage!

South east Cornwall. Last year it was end of October

It's cold here in the far North West of England tonight. I've been all out all day and have just arrived home. I've not had the heating on but the house feels very chilly now so I've just made myself a hot water bottle rather than switch on the heating so close to going to bed. There's no cloud cover here tonight and the stars are amazing but it's properly cold. Summer, such as it was, has definitely gone.

I’ve had the fire on all week. Just stoked it right up in the hope that it will still have embers in the morning to make it easier to light again

Eastern Scotland. On yesterday evening and this evening. Been very sunny today and yesterday, but not a lot of warmth in that sun.
Brought guinea pigs inside today from their garden hutch. They will stay indoors now til next Summer.

North West, it came on by itself today, it's set to do that when the temperature dips below 18 degrees.

I totally agree with you. We hardly have seasons any more so no point in being cold for the sake of a 'date'!

Surely the only reasons for keeping it off are either cost or environmental impact. People are sitting there cold for the fun of it

South london. My sons room is in the loft so gets alot colder than the rest of the house. Only first thing in the morning before he wakes up. I could go without a bit longer but his room really gets cold 🥲

Hampshire.
Sun is out today though so at least I can get masses of things dry on the line.

Mine hasn't clicked on yet (set at 18) but it was pretty close last night. Looks like it will warm up this week however here in the SE so hopefully won't be on for a while longer - my gas and electric bill has been high throughout the summer so winter will be awful.

I’m a doesn’t feel the cold person living with 2 people who are the opposite. 2 mornings this week DH has putt it on

Sunny but cold here today. Heating is back on tonight.

I managed to keep the log burner going all night yesterday. The ambient temperature in the house is definitely up despite Ddog wanting to go out and run in the garden every 10 minutes in and out of the door like a yo-yo

Having had the heating on last week I was suddenly sitting in the garden yesterday, worrying if I needed sunscreen!

@HowAmITheCatsGranny same here. Sunny today no heating yet.

It’s 22 degrees here today. Which is like it being 30 degrees in London! Unfortunately I made a huge pan of soup yesterday and a rhubarb crumble so we are in the living room, with the fan on eating hot soup. I think I will freeze the rest for next week when it’s supposed to be cooler.
