Am I a wimp to have the heating on?

[Notcontent]

I am not British, but certainly since I have lived here by April my heating has been off and I have had it off until at least October. But this year most evenings i give in and put the heating on. I am staring to wonder if it will ever be completely off!!! Is it just me!!??

Mine's on. It's cold.

no me too! and the electric blanket on the bed!!!

We have had ours on, or the fire, for the last month.... YADNBU

Mine's on sometimes and I don't feel cold much.

[childish giggling at having it off until October]

Ours is on and we still have our winter duvet duvet on the bed. It has been freezing here.

Nope. Not just you. I'm British and a tightwad but I've still had my fire or heating on most days.

Dreading the gas/leccy bill.

Mines on during the day as well, too cold just to have it on in the evening.

Our has been on since September/October. I don't do cold.

Oh god no,mine on too.

Mines on ....... Until about 10 mins before the DP gets home!!

Mine's on too, bloody freezing. In fact this room is freezing all year round, a blessing when it's hot outside actually.

That's good - feeling a bit better now!

Honestly, it's ridiculous isn't it. I have a direct debit for my gas, and in the past my winter gas usage was evened out by my lack of use in the summer. That's unlikely to happen this time round.

We havent turned ours off since before christmas. Ours is mainly used to dry our laundry as its so wet outside.

night night

Yadnbu. I cranked ours up a few days ago.

Mine's on and flipping well staying on.We've only recently had our heating system renewed after 28 years of storage heaters.I blooming well love it.It's lashing it down here in the West Midlands,and my outdoor thermometer reads 8 degrees so stuff the gas bill for now.

Phew! I've been using the baby as justification..

I put the heating on if I'm cold, no matter what the calendar says.
I have it up full blast in June, or all the windows open in December.

I hate being cold

Ours has not been off since last August...

Mines on - I hate being cold. Actually when the winter was milder I was thinking that I would spend less this year - didn't factor in winter lasting until well into May.

Got back from a weekend away and had the heating off for 2 nights; cue heating now back on, mn'ing in bath robe in bed and my feet resting on a hot water bottle.

It's so so cold!

Me and DH have rediscovered our hot water bottles over the last few nights. How sad! But am liking the idea of having it off until October.......sounds like that will generate more heat

We have ours on intermittently at the moment, mainly as it is still snowing on and off. So YANBU (unless you are living in some hot sunny part of Britain somewhere, rather than up a cold mountain )

Not a wimp at all. At. All.

It's freezing here (Notts) and it's a torrential downpour too right now.

I've had the heating on for the bulk of the day. It's been off about four hours now and you can feel the chill.

Am also dreading the bill.

Hot water bottle on standby!
