15 in the house at the moment.
Slightly chilly but some thick socks, dressing gown all good. Not put heating on yet and don't intend to unless it gets stupidly low.

15c wow, my insulation must be bloody good as I have never seen lower than 18c in my house even in the middle of winter, even in mid winter my house only needs 4 hours heating per day to keep it at 20c

edit, i have just had a look back at how much heating my house needed to stay at 20c last December, for the whole month my heating was on for 68hours or 2.19hours per day

10c here right now no wonder i'm in a dressing gown. I'd put the heating on more but it's so pricey I won't put it on for more than an hour at a time. Don't need to give Scottish Power execs any more luxury yachts.
 
Up in Yorkshire,nice and sunny before the next front

My new "open all windows upstairs and down, for half an hour daily" policy is probably a good one, but I am now very, very cold

Dehumidifier instead. Just got one myself and once it got the numbers down it now uses a steady 2kwh per day. It's reduced the gas usage a bit as well, so probably actually paying for itself.

Wow, I’m just looking at my Hive stats now, I have my house set not to get below 19c, my heating is set to turn off at 8pm or 21c whichever it hits first and it normally takes until about 0430/0500 for it to hit 19c and the heating to pulse for 10-15mins to bring it back above 19c then my heating comes on at 0630 to 21c and generally dosent switch on until the evening setting
 
9c outside 18 in the house so have a jumper on .. heating wont come on unless it hits 17 .. but burner go's on about 5ish so thats ok .. keeps it warm most if not all night depending if wood or coal ..

You also need to ensure you're comparing similar house types. A larger detached house would likely lose heat quicker than a small mid-floor flat which has other flats around it
