Have you started putting heating on ?

Just as title says really. I have not put the heating on so far. Just wondering its not my mindset that's actually preventing me or making me feel i dont need it.

No, it's currently 18 degrees in my sitting room. When I switch it from 'off' to 'auto' then it is set to 16 degrees so wouldn't have clicked on anyway.

Yes because the tumble drier has stopped working and since the day it broke it's rained every day - I have 3 kids to wash and dry uniforms for. Sod's law! And it was 2 days after the warranty expired 😔.

No.

And will not till the winter comes on.

Have blankets for now.

It’s still quite warm where I am, so no.

No. Don't feel the need for it. House is currently 18 degrees. It's 14 degrees outside.

No - just thinking about having an ice cream because I’m too hot (SW)

No but only cos it's mild. If I was still in my native Scotland, maybe I would put it on as I hate being cold. Here is SE England it's been a lovely, sunny day!

No it’s nowhere near cold enough where I live.

Yes it's been on a few times this past week we're in Scotland and it's already freezing!

@wejammin

They should still honour that!

@freesoul12 no. I'm central SE & haven't needed it yet. It was damp & miserable out the other day so I was tempted for a cisy feeling.

but put a very cosy cardi on instead. Too hot very quickly🙄

some mornings are a bit chilly but I just remind myself it's warm under the water & that if I get dried & dressed quickly, no faffing, then I stay warm.

I don't like it on in the mornings really as I get too warm too quick, the radiators filling wakes me up, then I go to work & it feels like a waste!

im here in just thin leggings& a tshirt. Windows upended front, back & bedrooms.

Yes, we've got it on, but we live in Yorkshire and it's chilly. I don't like being uncomfortable at home.

No it’s 19.5 in the house still without it. think we’ll be able to hold on for a few more weeks especially if it’s dry so can dry clothes outside.

Yes, we've had it on for about a week now, for 1.5 hours in the morning and 2 hrs in the evening. Our house is very old and gets very cold, so have been wearing extra layers during the day when the hearing's off.

I dont remember exactly when in the past i turned the heating on , i mean in terms of month.
I am mum of three young children, I just wanted to make sure I am not being tight or developed a different mindset.
I think it will be good idea for me to get room thermometer.
I live in Shropshire town. So by the looks of all the answers its not just needed yet.

Nope. Live up North, just below Scotland and definitely not cold enough yet. Trying to hold out until 1st November and if it starts this mild then I'm hopeful of achieveing that.

Not yet. Hopefully will hold out til November. I wfh though and have had a plug in radiator in my office which warms the room beautifully. On colder evenings I get under blankets on the sofa and a bedspread over my duvet. It's much milder this week again though so no extra layers needed.

I turned my heating 'on' 1st October- set to a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening if it drops below 19 but it hasn't actually been on yet because it's been so mild!

One evening last week for about an hour as it felt cold and dd1 was not feeling well (bad sore throat). Not since, living room is currently showing 20°c. I felt cold during the day earlier in the week I just put an extra blanket on while I was doing some work on the laptop.

Hoping to hold out as long as we can. We have a dehumidifier so it helps with the damp feeling and drying washing.

Not yet. It's feeling a little chilly when I first get up in the morning but as soon as you're dressed and moving about it's fine. I know if we had the heating on, I'd be sweating once I'm rushing about getting everyone else up and sorted!

Mines been on a couple of weeks for an hour or so in the evening, the thermostat is at 19.

Nope, it was 20c in my living room today and it is 19c now, so need yet thank goodness.

Yes - just half an hour here and there (have needed to some times for wet washing).

yes, in NE it has been on for half an hour as we get up and then from the time we get in, thermostat set at 18C

No not yet. It has been cold enough just once and we put one of the woodburners on in the evening for a couple of hours. Apart from that it's been quite warm still. I'm hoping we can get to half-term.
It hasn't been on since the end of March.
I'm still drying washing outside or putting it in the sunny spare bedroom on a clothes airer.

No I don't find it cold even in the evening so heating not on.
