Who’s got their heating on?

[SowSeedsDrinkWine]

Anyone else managed to avoid putting the heating on yet? I don’t think I’ve got into October without using it before (that I can recall) - however this evening is the first I’ve felt I could do with it for an hour or so. But I’m enjoying saving a few quid for as long as I possibly can…

what’s everyone else doing??

Up until yesterday my house was really warm - thermostat showing 20.5 °in the living room on an evening.
Last night and tonight I'm feeling less comfortable even though the thermostat is still up at 18° atm.
But no I won't be putting the heating on until it drops a lot lower.

Definitely not even though it was cold outside for the first time today (15 degrees in London) it’s still 26 in my house.

My thermostat is set to 19 and currently at 19 so could kick in

Yes, it is cold tonight for the first time. Heating not on yet as it is 19.4 in the house.

Yes!

Felt a tiny bit chilly but didn’t let myself put it on. Going to wait til end of month. We have a very well insulated new build

Had it on in the mornings for a couple of weeks. Tonight is the first evening I've put it on, I think.

It's very chilly. No but I put the 9 tog duvet on the bed yesterday and have just found a cardigan. It will click on the morning, but hadn't tonight.

Nope! Heating won’t be on here for a while yet. It’s not that cold that sticking a jumper on isn’t enough and we have plenty of blankets.

I just put mine on for hour to take the chill off. It’s definitely starting to feel more autumnal temperature wise.

I think I need to test my heating system and put it on just to make sure it's working OK.

The fact that I am feeling really chilly is just coincidence. 😆

NE Scotland here. Ours has kicked in a few times in last few weeks. We’ve had a little frost today.

Had it on a fair few times and have it on tonight, its nippy

No heating on. my house temp says 23

Ours is set to come on at 19 degrees in the evening. The thermostat is reading 19.2 currently. I’m hoping it does come on!

Me! I am a bit skinny though and feel the cold dreadfully!

I haven't but I'm using a fleece, a blanket and a hot water bottle. I'm not freezing but I've been a bit chilly in the evenings. Nobody else has mentioned it so no need for heating yet.

Just put mine on! It's cold outside.

Avoided putting the heating on so far. Wearing an oodie and snuggled under a blanket on the sofa.
It is quite chilly, the tip of my nose feels cold, but I'll head off to bed shortly.
Might be time to think about putting the heavier quilt on the bed. Don't think the 4.5 tog will be up to the job if the low temperatures continues like tonight.

Trying to hold off putting it on as we have a draughty Victorian house and it guzzles the gas. Kitchen thermostat is reading 20.5 (our warmest room as it is an extension) but I know upstairs will be colder. We put on the wood burner last night which was cozy and I am planning to get out the winter duvets this weekend.

Me

put it on sometimes in Sept. If I’m cold I click it on

I hate being cold. It makes my chronic pain worse plus my cat is older and disabled so she needs a cosy house too.
My heating has been on a few times in September and is on right now.

Today’s the first day I’ve noticed it’s been chilly. I’ve worn a jumper and am currently under a blanket, although my thermostat says it’s 21.7 in the house!

I don’t plan on putting the heating on for a while. I have electric blankets for the sofa and the bed.

Not yet. Can't really afford it this year tbh. We are all in layers and under blankets. It'll do for now.

Not yet, we have a highly insulated new build so no need yet at all. I have no idea what temp it even is in the house to be honest as out whole heating system is off. Once we turn it on it will stay on though and we set the thermostats in each zone. We got solar panels too so hopefully it won’t cost much. Last months bill was €25 and that came from the credit we built up since April.
