Anyone trying not to have heating on

[TheOpalFox]

Anyone else tried to not have heating on? Even tho your cold? It’s 8 degrees and I’m cold but can’t afford to have heating on all the time :( what a way to live!!!

@Happyjoe 😆

Ok. I thought the bedrooms were too cold. Go for it.

It’s 25 degrees in both the children’s bedrooms tonight. I really think we need aircon not heating, not sure what’s wrong with our house in east anglia, I guess too much insulation?

I'm happy that someone who can afford to holiday that often isn't being subsidised any further, to be quite honest.

I’ve been out in a tshirt today! Heating? Eh?

@Tastaturen you missed the bit where the poster said they would get it next year!

Aren't they really bad for your health, as well?

Quite the opposite!

i hate going to peoples houses and you can tell they’ve had the heating on all day. The air is stale and stinks, your skin gets all dry and you’re sat there in a jumper sweating your pants off! Vile vile vile

I did last year, got brothers involved, talked calmly, talked firmly, sent a big long email with articles about the dangerous. They were furious and they told me firmly to butt out and not treat them as children. It got really really bad. I did do a face when mum brought it up and changed the subject. If she does it again I’m gonna say ‘well you know my thoughts on that’. Not much else I can do.

Yes, because we all live in the exact location you do, in the exact same house and are, in fact, a clone of you - identical in every way.

I’m guessing you are well above sea level?

I’m in Cumbria too (coast) and it was 12 degrees outside my house today……. we’ve had doors/windows open and I’m currently sat on the sofa in a t-shirt 🤣

Metcheck says lowest it’ll get through night where I am is 10.

I know I lost the payment last year. I don't know what the rules are this year.

Yep. Eco friendly is great. Risking my husband's health with existing conditions when I work hard to make sure we can keep the house warm. Not A Chance.

It's still 90° F in Ohio, so it's not been an issue. 😜. The A/C on the other hand...

Yes.

No, indeed. How frustrating. Just remind them how warm Care Homes are.

We are indeed- its been quite a dramatic drop tonight though even I was surprised; seems like we skipped Autumn 😟

That's outside - you won't be wearing a T-shirt in that temperature!

Eh?
Of course houses need to be aired, but keeping a warm enough house is hardly vile.

It’s 6 degrees here. That’s cold.

“Warm enough” is not the same as too hot to wear a jumper! It’s horrible. The air stinks, and everyone’s uncomfortable. The heating will be going on at work soon and I’m dreading it

and you’re sat there in a jumper sweating your pants off! V

Why can't you remove said jumper? Is it more of a straight jacket style?

Clearly the people who actually live there are happy.
If the house stinks it's probably down to more than just heating.

the point is you shouldn’t need to - your house shouldn’t be that hot!

It sounds as if you need an outdoor job. Perhaps in a mountainous area.
