[TotorosOcarina]

DH isn't here and always moans about the heating, telling me to put a jumper on.

Well hes out and it was freezing but now its warm and lovely and comfy

Ours in on a timer and a thermostat so it comes on if it is cold. Enjoy the heat while it lasts. When is he due home?

we have had heating on and now have a big roaring fire in the grate! YANBU!!

not sure, not til about 12 i think.

the house is bloody freezing without it, we were supposed to get new windows and doors and insulation but they still ahven't done it :(

YADNBU- it's freezing today!!! Good for you.

Yanbu. I am frozen stiff in London. Have put extra straw in for the guinea pigs. Where are you?

Manchester.

Am going to buy those fleecy all in ones for over the kids PJs on wednesday, its like the artic!

It's not cold in Manchester - I've only just shut the windows.
and I'm not even a native, but a soft southerner by birth.

How old are your dc? I've got a beautiful "as new" tigger one for a toddler.

Western Scottish Highlands.

Heat still not on.

Can't afford it till DH gets paid on the 28th.

Crap, old electric storage heaters in rented flat.

Cost £55/week in winter for a bare minimum of heat (and everything is electric in this flat).

arghh it is!!! its fweeezing!

namey i have a nearly 2 yr old, a 4 yr old and a nearly 6 yr old :)

In my head I think that we shouldn't have it on until October half term.

That is because when we were little we were always skint and the house was always cold.

I have just started to put the heat on an hour or so morning and evening, because it is chilly in the house. (15 deg in our bedroom last night)

We are in the Midlands.

If we couldn't afford it then we would turn it off until later in the year. I am thankful that at the moment we can afford it, as the house is a bit damp when the weather is like this.

You think 15 degrees is chilly onepieceoflollipop ??

We wouldn't consider that anywhere near chilly up here in my part of Scotland!!

Ha! Softies!

Put a jumper on its not cold yet, what will you be like if we have a winter like last year now that's cold.

freezing here too, i put it on first time tonight for three hours too.

just glad it seems to have worked bloody boiler

YABU. Just put a jumper on it's much to early for heating yet.

get one of these

no it's sooo cold, i reckon it will snow next week

Heating on for an hour in mornings here....so chilly. And two hours before dd's bed. Our house is freezing, even cold in summer.

blimey, I would never put the heating on in september
where do you go after that

yanbu but i refuse to put on heating in september as that would mean 7 months of heating (till end March)

i've pulled the throw off the sofa and am hiding underneath.

Maybe this should be in style & beauty but how about one of these

Ooh, we're all about the global warming in our house! We've had the heating on for a week or so AND had the woodburner's been blazing tonight. We've got an old, old, old house, over three floors that needs months of warming through before Proper Winter gets here. Our 1st DC is due mid-Dec so we're making sure all will be toasty when he gets here

YANBU u pay the bill,if your cold its miserable,dont feel bad everybodys different

Ive had the heating on all day today.

If your cold, you put the heating on. Simple.
