We're sitting under duvets to give the heating a break!

20 degrees . I’d happily have it a bit lower but I’m outnumbered on that one.

I haven't put the heating on at all today, although its freezing outside. I think we peaked at a balmy 1⁰C today. I'll have to put the heating on tonight though. That or dress like an Eskimo.

wheresmymojo · 05/01/2026 16:38

16.5 and have just pressed the boost to warm it up a bit!

It's currently at 15.8°C. The heating's on (set to 18°C) but it will struggle to get up to that as it's so cold outside. This house is fecking freezing 🥶

SnuggledWithARetriever · 05/01/2026 16:39

19C - but lower when the retriever isn’t here.

I have the smart thermostat set at 21, so assume that's what it is.

shellyleppard · 05/01/2026 16:40

Thermostat is set for 20 degrees but its bloody freezing 🥶. I'm wearing 3 layers (top, jumper and a thick fleece) plus two pairs of socks 🤣 also extra blankets on the beds overnight

LovelyDonkey · 05/01/2026 16:41

17.9, supposed to be 18.5 but can’t make it does to how cold it is

Duckyneedsaclean · 05/01/2026 16:41
  1. I switched to just having it on 19 degrees 24hrs a day last year. It's on less than it used to be and no one is cold.

Example day from last week and today. On more today as it's -7 here 🥶

modernminimalist · 05/01/2026 16:41

14c, just got in

hourspassed · 05/01/2026 16:42

18.5 with the heating on but we've also lit the fire so it'll be warmer in the lounge. I have 3 jumpers on!

tobee · 05/01/2026 16:43

17.5. Just given it another boost. Currently in bed under duvet with electric base blanket on.

TwillTrousers · 05/01/2026 16:44

17.5. I’ve had it on that all day otherwise it just drops to below 15 and takes ages to warm up again.

Natsku · 05/01/2026 16:44

19 and its not warm enough

RabbitsEatPancakes · 05/01/2026 16:44

Landing/ hallway is at 14c, kitchen is probably 12c and the living room is about 19c. Kids, 6, 3 and 10 months all playing in shirts and leggings.

"Shut the door" is a popular saying in this house in winter!

RandomMess · 05/01/2026 16:44

Just cracked it up to 17.5

BecauseofyouIlearntnottotrust · 05/01/2026 16:45

16°
Just turned the heating on.

WittyJadeStork · 05/01/2026 16:47

17 the heating is wood fired. So I think it might struggle tonight. Bedrooms are warmer though.

Rosamutabilis · 05/01/2026 16:48

18 at the moment and the thermostat increases to 19 at 5pm till 11pm. Feels perfectly fine with a cardigan on. It's 1 outside, the ice in the back garden hasn't melted all day.

Justwingingit2005 · 05/01/2026 16:50

Heating hasn't been off since Friday.
We have thermostat on 18 / 18.5 in day a few 16 at night

DeposedPresident · 05/01/2026 16:50

14.5. Half the house is shut down and heating on in a few rooms to try and get it up higher.

It's and old draughty Victorian house with original windows. Curtains are shut.

I have a friend who is from Scandinavia and she likes her flat HOT. I was there yesterday and it was 29 degrees C. Now I realise why she moans about her heating bills. I nearly expired and felt quite faint at how warm it was.

iamthehotstepper · 05/01/2026 16:51
  1. I'm so cold, can't wait for the heating to kick on at 5.30, I've been WFH with gloves on and a hot water bottle on my lap! I won't put it on when I'm here alone in the day. Popping out to buy a little heater for my office later!
