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

Mine has been on for an hour or so, but only because I have a massive backlog of laundry and I don't have a tumble dryer.

I will put it off in a bit, though

DH turned ours on yesterday; as soon as I realised I turned it off again. He was doing sedentary stuff (reading, puter) while I was cleaning the house - perfectly warm enough in t-shirt and jeans. I'd have boiled if I'd left it.

Yes but it was really cold in my 7mo room and I knew she'd wake up early from her nap so I cosies her into snoozing so I could mumsnet get some housework done.

yep, heating on here

for the first time ever in July, it has to be said

wtaf is going on ?

Ours has been on today. Cold and damp in the West Country!

I put mine on for an hour this morning.

Everywhere is just damp and it's starting to do my nut in :(

Mines on. And I took a hot water bottle to bed last night.

Yep I flicked mine on this morning cos I was flippin' freezing and couldn't bring myself to get naked enough to shower until the heating was on!

Mines set at 21 and its been on and off all day. It would be off if i was at work/ dd at childminders but silly me booked a week off thinking it would be bloody sunny!

Yep. On timer.

Mine isn't on right now but we don't turn it off as such. It stays on the thermostat so if the house falls below a certain level it comes on, regardless of time of year.

Yep. North Wales here. Comes on for an hour in the morning and an hour in th evening. We did turn it off for approximately two weeks in April I think.

I'm actually considering it... But DH is saying 'put a jumper on'. But I don't want to put a jumper on... It's bloody July FGS!

No but we are still lighting the fire every evening. And the aga is still on.

Well as it happens, i relented and lit my woodburner today.
Its well damp in West Wales and my old bones need a break (not literally)

Had mine on this morning. The house felt cold and damp (probably due to wet washing hanging everywhere).

Agree with poster above that this weather isn't good for blw

I nearly turned mine on today. I have flipping Asthma and the damp weather means I've had a tight chest for weeks. I am so annoyed. I mean is it toooo much to ask for two months of heat? The only reason I didn't turn it on is because it would be admiting defeat.

I've just put ours on

We've just got home from holiday and the house is freezing

I put ours on for a wee while this morning
Since then I've had the tumble drier on and left utility door open so kitchen /living room as well cosy

I've had mine on today. The house felt damp. I keep forgetting it's meant to be summer!

Yes, mainly to sodding dry clothes. Also, I got soaked on my way home from work and felt miserable and cold.

Mine's supposed to be on. I'm sitting, wearing a cardigan.

I'm not cold enough for heating, but I am under a blanket . I am going camping to a festival this weekend and apparently the temp nearby dropped to 6 last night

I live in the north of Scotland and haven't had my central heating on for almost a week now, but I did have the heater on in the bathroom when I had a shower yesterday.
