To bet that there is a Mumsnetter in Britain who has their heating on in July

[LaurieFairyCake]

I am freezing. I have just utterly flipped out with dd and yelled "It's JULY"!! (in south-east - it's 15 degrees in my kitchen)

Dd said 'bet you can find someone on Mumsnet who has their heating on in Britain'.

So we are betting there is

Yep, I had mine on for a couple of hours before. I'm feeling poorly and it was bloody freezing! I had blue fingernails, in the SUMMER FFS!!

Nope. My heating hasn't been on for quite a few weeks and even though I had to change out of wet clothes when I came in earlier, I put shorts and a vest top on and walked around opening all the windows. I even leave a bedroom window open all night. It is too humid for me still.

It is damp isn't it - it feels like my house has a really damp/cold/smelly feel as if it needs a massive deep clean and airing

Glad she was right

Can't believe it though - last year ours was off in April (multi fuel stove that heats the radiators) - this year we had a fire last week - and I've now got a wee electric heater on and my electric blanket for later so I don't have to build a fire in the stove.

It's madness.

Yup. A few hours morning and evening. I cant dry my laundry otherwise.

Yes, another one with heating on - albeit briefly.

The outside temperature isn't freezing by any means, but I put the heating on this morning for about 30 minutes (while the boiler was firing up for the hot water anyway) and have turned it on again just now (probably only for an hour).

Nope, but I did consider it to try washing at the weekend. The I just put it in the conservatory instead.

Yes, heating, fire and a small radiator on.

Yes - central heating and fires. It's cold up here!

Yes, but mine is fucked and somehow linked to my hot water. If I want hot water, my heating needs to be on.

Thermostat is knackered too, so it's stuck on really hot.

I'm trying to put it on, I have it set for 19.5C but my thermostat won't drop below 21.5C (not broke, just tends to go up when it is warm and although its pissing down it is warm) so it isn't coming on... bah!

15 degrees isn't cold though

Got mine on as dh has snapped another tumble dryer belt so drying washing.

Mine was on for three hours earlier. Sigh.

Mines on.

Don't people put jumpers/cardis on any more?

I can understand it if you have to dry washing.

Yep - had it on this lunchtime for a bit. It's horrible and cold and damp, I'm recovering after being in hospital and need warmth

I have, it was freezing earlier

You mean to say there are people with it off?

I will be lighting a fire in a minute, my toes are freezing

I have't succumbed yet, but I probably will later.

It's not too cold here at the moment, blowing a hooley and pissing with rain, but fairly mild

We have the log burner going, and the living room lights on. In fucking July.

Not yet but I've been seriously considering it for the past hour. I've put on a thick cardigan and I'm still cold. Even if I resist the heating, the electric blanket will be going on at bedtime!

I did think about it earlier but then decided I couldn't possibly switch it on in July
