Who's got the heating on?

[cupid_stunt]

I'd quibble with that assessment.

You would as a warped lover of seagulls, at least I am warm, and unlike you, my nose is running.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Anyway, still not got the heating on here - sat in shorts and t-shirt.

Must be a bloody sight warmer where you are, with darkness falling, it is now 9C outside.

 

[pieandmashfirm]

Popped out lunchtime and done bit of shopping {in that fine rain malarky}had little snooze on my return and woke up freezing whacked heating on . Mrs Mash mocked me on her return , turned it off and opened a window complaining " no air"

 

[Sasaferrato]

One thing that always seemed to true was that the thermostat was always beside the coldest bugger in the room. Their 'comfortable' left many dying of heat exhaustion.

I'm currently in Ibiza so lovely and warm

It's 12°C and rainy outside, and 20.8°C inside.

Nope, it's about 11c in the Manchester area, he's just a weirdo.

 

[purves grundy]

Gave it a couple of hours run through today

 

[onenameshelley]

Not yet, we finally got the insulation situation sorted, (i am praying the rats don't come back) so I am sort of seeing how much of a difference that makes. Also i love blankets, and I would rather take chuck a cardigan on than chuck on the heating just yet.

How are you so warm with no heating on?

 

[MickiQ]

Ours is set to boost it to 20C during the on-cycle, we don't have a minmum set but the boiler will kick it when the temp falls to 7C no matter what values we have set (it has never got that cold in the house). The house is double glazed and cavity wall insulated so it will stay warm for a long while even when the CH is off. We don't bother with the CH at all overnight just let it come on an hour before we get up and let it go off at 10pm. It won't cool down a lot in the next couple of hours and even at weekends we're usually in bed by midnight.
Now that Youngest has gone off to Uni, I have turned the thermostatic valve in her room down to 1 so there is a bit of heat in there but not much. The room will not be occupied again for weeks. When Son Q and Pollyanna move out soon(ish) then I will turn down the one in what is currently their room

Had a little fire

Which part of Scotland are you from?

 

[MickiQ]

Which part of Scotland are you from?

Funnily enough as far as I know Scottish are the only genes that are missing from my mongrel DNA. I have (mostly) English but there are Welsh, Irish and French genes in there but no Scottish.
That said said I'm left handed and two of my children have inherited that from me (fortunately the only way they take after me) and Scotland apparently has more than twice as many left-handers than anywhere else so maybe there is some Scottish I don't know about.

He's snuggled up with his seagull friends.


I've put the gas fire on this evening.

 

[harpo]

I put the the fire on for half an hour to warm and cheer the sitting room. It's pissing down outside, I had my pfizer booster today and I felt like feeling a bit cozy.

 

[Dovydaitis]

Got the fan on in the bedroom but the boiler is being fixed next week (hopefully)

 

[Elpenor]

I don’t have a thermostat

I have 2 storage heaters downstairs, one of which I can also use a boost function via a plug switch and it’s an instant heater. Upstairs they’re wired in wall heaters.

Will try not to use them as they cost a bit, seem to have lost my fleece so may be chilly in the cottage. There is a wood burner but I have my TV in front of it so can’t see me using it.

Hot water bottle is going to come into its own. Currently have circulation issues so legs get freezing. Hot water bottle does the trick

My father was left handed, my daughter is ambidextrous, but predominantly left. Mrs Sa has a brother and a sister who are corrie fisted.

My father wrote with his right hand, he was forced to at school. When my daughter was a wee thing, and cutting things out, she started with the left hand to the apex, then just swapped hands.

If I were ever to feel a little homesick for olde England, these threads cheer me up. We were talking yesterday that we need to get the air conditioner serviced for the summer. We have petrol in the petrol stations, and the supermarkets have food.

How are you so warm with no heating on?

I guess it's a pretty well-insulated building so takes time to lose the heat from the warmer months.

 

[Saffy]

Had a fire in the log burner last night and I have a double Sherpa blanket which is very cuddly and warm which helps. Although, I'm going to have to buy another one because the dog seems to think it's hers.

 

[weltweit]

Last night I was toasty, my bed consists of an electric blanket, sheet, duvet no 1 followed by a lovely Indian blanket which I think is Alpaca, followed by another duvet and topped off with yet another blanket. Snug!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Changed to the higher tog duvets. Holding back on the heating because of the cost. Had a couple of chilly moments in the garden office this week, and my daughter is complaining (while only wearing a t shirt and no socks), but I'm a tad worried about the extra cost, as the bill was already sky high this time last year.

What will you do when it actually gets cold?

 

[weltweit]

This arrangement will see me through the winter ..

I do have a hot water bottle, but its nozzle seems to be faulty so it would be a danger sleep to try it

 

[Elpenor]

Sitting in a hotel room which is too warm and has no windows so have the HVAC systems pumping out cool air

 

[Riklet]

My boiler doesn't work....I'm not in the UK at the moment, but imagine I'll have snow to greet me and a freezing flat when I get back.

damn. what happened to the boiler? I doubt it'll get really cold for another few months...
