Brrrr! Who's got the heating on?

[krtek a houby]

Bloody biblical rains yesterday, dripping through the window frames. Another headache to deal with.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Waking-up to ice on the inside of the windows, them were the days.

As a kid, I loved that. The patterns of ice were like feathers. Even though it must have been very cold and the house had no heating bar a fire in the sitting room, I dont ever recall feeling the cold. Or thinking "its bloody freezing".
I do remember wearing socks and a jumper over my night clothes in bed though...so there is that...

We had the heating on all of last week it was so very cold in Scotland.

This week, in Lincolnshire, we've had it on for three days in the car, and for one day in the place we're staying. I expect this will increase. It's so very very cold here.

 

[StoneRoad]

Thermostat knocked the heating on this morning, and it is wet n windy - following on from several similar days / nights so the building structure has been somewhat chilled ...
I'm still using a thin duvet on the bed, though.

 

[Proper Tidy]

I've had heating on but only to dry washing cos it won't stop fucking raining

I remember very much being cold as a kid in an old house with no heating - 20 blankets on our beds at night and hot water bottles to stave off the cold. My first duvet was a complete revalation (still had some blankets and hot water bottles WITH the duvet in winter mind you, but it does keep the heat in better than anything else).

I've cracked and stuck it on for the first time since about April. It's miserable outside, everyone in the house feels cold and small and poorly so it had to be done

20 blankets

hot water bottles

Luxury.

You & me both.

 

[Cloo]

Yes, as was working from home and also wanted to test if it would go on. To my pleasant surprise all radiators except the one I knew was broken have turned on, which I wasn't expecting.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Was frozen for the past few nights. Just could not get warm.
Eventually, last night at around 3.30 am I got up and put a fleece and thick socks over my pyjamas.
Finally warmed up.
Tonight I've dug out my fleecy onesie and the same fleece jacket and extra thick socks. ... plus a wool blanket over the duvet. I hope I get some sleep.

I ran the gas central heating on my boat all of last week - my solid fuel stove is in bits and there's a hole in the roof as I'm having it all refurbed. Admitted defeat and went back to our permanent mooring this aft. Shore line hooked up, mains radiators on. But our electric here is so expensive I can't decide if the gas is cheaper? I can get about 80 hours of gas heating out of one 13kg bottle (they are £30). I need to do some sums. We have 700w of solar panels too and we've been self sufficient for electric all summer. But sadly not our mains oil radiators which need 240v - anything electric which makes heat is out of the question on a boat unless you have a super expensive set-up. Gas is a bit more inconvenient as I have to leave the empty ones on the back deck for the fuel boat to swap over (sort of like milk man delivery). They are heavy to lift. For the electric all I do is top up online.

There was ice under the tarp this morning on the roof of the van outside the workshop.

Some periods of bright sun today really warmed the place up by this afternoon.

Now, back at home, it is getting decidedly chilly and the heating is on.

 

[The39thStep]

Reminds me to order some firewood for end of November. No central heating here but it’s 26c today , should be ok for the rest of the month.

 

[weltweit]

Not got the heating on but it is jumper & coat weather at the start and end of the day.
Lunchtime there was nice sun.

 

[Leafster]

It was so grim yesterday I gave in last night and put the heating on low for a couple of hours.

It's been sunny and warm all day here today so I was hoping not to put the heating on tonight. However I left the windows open too long and now it's cold inside again.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You & me both.

It's was sort of approaching an ideal temperature this morning of 5C, but sadly it's too warm again now.

Yeah, but you are just bonkers.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Yeah, but you are just bonkers.

I was sweating cobs after walking to the station earlier - it's not possible to be cold in this weather.

But we're in that time of year when loads of people are weirdly wearing coats and generally wrapping up. It's an odd sight.

 

[Epona]

It was chilly today on the way to and at work - I must dig out a warm top that I don't mind wrecking!

Not put the heating on, it's a comfy temperature indoors at home for now

It was pretty cold this morning.

 

[pinkmonkey]

It's cold outside now - back home just intime!

 

[Mattym]

Chimney was swept yesterday. Only really use the log burner approx Nov to Feb, but glad it's ready now. Obviously there are some exceptions to the rule. eg. A cold night this weekend would make me light it. Have the general heating on on a very low setting.

 

[Marty1]

Just turned heating off. Put it on for 20mins and it’s like being back in Lanzarote.

 

[8115]

I've got the windows open but I think my downstairs neighbour might have the heating on so we may be beginning a winter-long war of attrition.

 

[bellaozzydog]

I run very hot and rarely wrap up but the chunky jumper was broken out today.

House mates are all wearing hats in the living room but they just got out the sea

May experiment with the thermostat

 

[Marty1]

I’m going for a shower so I’ll be boiling for bed.

You need to dip your feet in freezing water

 

[mauvais]

That's the cabin fan motor out of my car, which stopped working today, the first cold day.

Got it out, (probably) fixed it.

Now aaaall I've got to do is put it back

 

[pogofish]

Last night, I put my heaters on low for the first time since about March.

It was lovely and warm..!
