First day today! DH lit the log burner last night but only for a cleaning log before we start using it properly. Heating this eve just for an hour.

It’s cold in my corner of NE but does get gloriously sunny in the day. I’ve needed it each morning and evening for a week or so though. We are very rural, high up and also old farmhouse. My brother 30mins away in town in a new build is probably still wearing shorts.

Our house is 80s and can definitely get cooler in the autumn/winter, but not yet this year.....I might be eating my hat next week.....or at least wearing it. 🤣

No. We're having a spell of lovely weather which doesn't seem to be the case in other parts of the UK.

PurpleYarnivore · 14/09/2025 17:17

Nope , we live in a highly insulated new build and I haven't worn more than a t shirt yet , the windows have been open on the latch since April . I usually don’t need to put any on til end Oct / early Nov .

WannaFOffOnHoliday · 14/09/2025 17:18

Nope but got a hoodie on

Strangerinastrangeland2023 · 14/09/2025 17:18

The heating isn't on but I have lit the wood burner a few times recently 😁

Zempy · 14/09/2025 17:18

No, but only because I am going away next week and didn’t think it was worth it.

Chunky roll neck jumper and under sofa blankets. SE.

purpleme12 · 14/09/2025 17:19

It's 18 degrees inside so no, not cold enough for heating

MumChp · 14/09/2025 17:20

Air con here in the South of Italy 😊

Lucky you! I lived there for many years and wish I never left.

narkyspirit · 14/09/2025 17:27

I've got the sauna on as ive come back in from a walk in the cold and rain soaking wet and the heating has also gone on here

sophiecygnet · 14/09/2025 17:28

Yes for breakfast and shower time. Maybe this evening when we Stop moving around.

SiobahnRoy · 14/09/2025 17:28

Ours has just clicked on, the thermostat is on 17c.

DinoLil · 14/09/2025 17:28

I'm hanging off for now. I do have two pairs of socks on, a cardigan and am under a throw with the dog!

PumpkinSeasonOctober · 14/09/2025 17:29

No but also feeling tempted. For now jumpers will have to do.

ThePoshUns · 14/09/2025 17:30

I put it on for half an hour as despite layering up could not get warm. Also have the winter duvet back on and have unpacked my winter clothes and packed the summer ones away. Sad times.

purpleme12 · 14/09/2025 17:30

It is sad times

PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister · 14/09/2025 17:31

No, but I do have a jumper and socks on for the first time this year!

TheScottishPlay · 14/09/2025 17:31

On for an hour this morning and probably the same tonight (NE Scotland). House is well insulated but just moved in and taken up the carpets so it can get chilly.

Ineedanewsofa · 14/09/2025 17:31

Thermostat is set to 19 in the day at the weekend and it came on earlier so we must have dipped below! Had some radiators changed earlier in the year so it’s actually been a good chance to check they are working properly. Hopefully it’s not a regular occurrence though, could do with it not being on until October!

BotterMon · 14/09/2025 17:31

Nope but we discussed it this afternoon. Decided to have a fire instead and save the oil for when it's really cold. Joys of an old cottage. Have a thermal long sleeved top on but still no socks.

greengreyblue · 14/09/2025 17:32

Ours came on itself due to the thermostat set to 18.Am also wearing a cotton jumper , jeans and socks. It’s gone off again now. I did close the living room little window that had been open for months.

Digdongdoo · 14/09/2025 17:32

We caved for hour an this afternoon, just to take the edge off. Miserable weather today.

MotherTuckinGenius · 14/09/2025 17:33

I’m wearing an oodie and have the heating on.
