Heating on yet ?

[Stolly]

Winter draws us in.....who still remains shivering with the heating off ?

I am for one....I refuse to do it until the temp drops to single figures.

My CPU is at 27c @ 4ghz lol idle though and my gpu is at 24c idle

In the parents house before i moved out the heating would only be on if you could see your own breath.

Now im living with the GF i have to touch the radiators all the time to make sure she hasnt put it on. If only i could take the thermostat to work.

I do ask her to wait until mid/backend of november though. Or until it feels like her feet are melting when she puts them in a warm bath.

Heating is off but our lounge has large sash windows and wooden french doors, all of which are pretty awful at heat retention.

Instead I just turn this on for about an hour and the room is up to 25 degs in no time if you don't turn it off soon enough!

[Yaayuh!]

Not yet!!

We were thinking about this just this morning. Probably get it on at the weekend as it is now a bit chilly and our conservatory has no internal door....

Nothing yet, we might light the fire this weekend and stave off the heating turning on till November, I have 5 tonne bags of logs to burn baby burn disco inferno.

Flippin girlfriend always complains it's hot, when the thermostat says 23c on it. She puts heating on, I boil and she slightly warms up. What is with women and never feeling warm

I've fitted Gapseal to my sash windows which is pretty good at stopping the drafts. My boiler is being re-pressurised on Monday. I have hot water but no heating until then.

Due to my wife feeling the cold more than me, we've had the heating on for about 45 minutes in the morning for a couple of weeks. The house doesn't have the best insulation so it can be a little chilly at 6am.

 

[utajoker]

put mine on the day we got back from honeymoon, 31st sepember.

 

[AmyS]

Full heating on in most rooms, will have to turn off an hour before my husband comes home and goes through the roof

 

[knip]

Nope

I put one of my heaters on for a couple of hours on Saturday to dry my jeans, as they weren't totally dry, but that's been it.

I'm still not even wearing a coat, unless it's been down to it raining.

Hardcore me

 

[krooton]

Not yet, hoping to hold out until the end of the month.

 

[Stusteel]

Nope, no heating on. We have throws in the front room if people (the wife) is feeling cold. It does not warrant putting the heating on yet.

 

[Glaucus]

No, did have to shut the big windows when i woke up though.
Its still shorts and t-shirt weather.

 

[The_Baron]

On yesterday. Have a coal fire too which is nice with a glass of wine.

 

[Worthy]

I did last night, but it was just to test after topping up the boiler. I made sure I sent e.on their requested meter reading before firing it up.

 

[Pookie Bear]

I have resisted so far. My other half has started making comments about the cold, so it's only a matter of time...

 

[malachi]

Not yet, might come weekend as my clothes will need drying. Might get a oil filled radiator saving me putting on the central heating.
