To put the heating on?

[QuestionableMouse]

Currently 6° in my house. Rain is coming down in buckets. I'm seriously thinking about sticking the heating on for a bit but it feels slightly ridiculous given that it's June and supposedly summer!

Nope. 6° according to the room thermometer in the kitchen. Rest of the house is probably warmer tbh.

The wind is freezing and my house is old and yes, drafty 😂

No problem affording the heating (thank god) more disbelief that I have to put it on in June 😂

I refuse to put the heating on as trying to reduce the bills, but I'm wearing a LOT of clothes and thermal socks atm

My hands went a bit stiff when I was working on the laptop this morning so I put the heating on. Also surprised to do that in June but I'm just not productive in the cold.

If my house was 6c I'd probably hibernate.

I’ve got my gas fireplace on. It’s June ffs! And the first warm-ish day we have there will be a thread moaning about the ‘heat’ and they can’t wait to wear their woollens.

6 Celsius? That’s the temperature of a fridge

Mines on! Bedfordshire. I feel cold today 🥶

Yes do it. You’re not spending going out so why not make yourself comfortable at home.

I've got my heating on, it's absolutely chucking it down outside more like November than June.

It's a horrible day get your heating whacked on!

I had mine on yesterday I was cold it's better here today,but do you yet points or something for not having your heating on if your cold your cold put it on.

Nah. I basically just wanted a whine about the shitty weather. 😂

Ours comes on automatically if the temp falls below 17. I'm in Scotland the heating is never off.
I hate a cold house.

Ooh, glad it’s not just me, was under a couple of fleeces... with my feet in the dogs fur last night!!
Heating goes on if I’m too cold, no point in being uncomfortable!

Yep mines on, I'm wearing a coat and under a blanket too! My DD is in shorts and. T-Shirt, so it might just be me!

I've had mine on since last week. Currently sitting under a blanket with a cup of tea. What happened to summer?

6 degrees celsius, indoors in summer? I’d not just put the heating on, I’d be googling insulation! What temp does it get to in winter?

My heating is on a thermostat of 18c. I don't care what time of year it is, I refuse to be cold. I've not used it at all during March, April & May other than 1hr/day for hot water.
I'm also bundled up with lots of layers & a blanket on the sofa so feel very snug!

Who cares about the date? The weather could be cold in July and boiling in January, but your home needs to keep you healthy and happy!

I'm in the North East and mine is on! Bloody miserable outside.

I put mine on for about 20 mins yesterday. It was cold and damp and I don't like feeling cold and damp. Then I did some hardcore vacuuming and all was well again.

I really don't think it can be 6 degrees inside your house?
My ancient, badly insulated house sometimes falls to 11/12 degrees in the winter, in Scotland.

Anyway. If you feel cold then put the heating on assuming you can afford it. I just put mine on to boost the temperature as the puppy just had a bath.

I agree about insulation. Your house should retain some heat.

Just put your heating on!

Until July last year I lived in absolutely appalling conditions, I'd feel warm if it got to as high as 6 degrees. Usually the temperature was around 3 or 4, and a minus if it was colder outside, it was absolute hell.

Now my circumstances have changed for the better, new, smaller house, in receipt of PIP, so at the first hint of coldness my heating goes on, regardless of what the calendar says. I will never be so cold again! It was a miserable existence.

I often have the heating on low in the summer. If it's chilly, it's chilly so why not? That is what the heating is for, being cold is horrible.

I've had mine on 15 minutes here and there got the last couple of days.
I'm in West Yorkshire

I can never understand people who make themselves a martyr to cold weather because the calendar dictates what they should do rather than the temperature (finances permitting, of course).

In our house the heating comes on when the thermostat dips below 20 degrees regradless of the time of year.
