Start Of Fire Season.

JONJO THE MISER

Right ive finally decided its time to start up the auld fireplace, it wasnt easy to decide when to do it but ive found the last few evenings to be a bit nippy so this evening ive taken the plunge and im sitting beside a roasting hot fire as i speak:). Welcome back winter welcome back.
So when do you start yours?

The radiators went on the other day... was a pretty momentous occasion.

no fire or heating yet, although the shorts and tee shirts have been put away for now

tempted to get the oul fire place going some time over the weekend though.

Was tempted on Monday and Tuesday but have the windows open this evening. So it'll be cosy blankets to keep the night chill off for another short while. Love the fire but dread getting up earlier to clean it out before work. Que serra..

Would you not just put an auld geansai on you and save the fires until October at least?

recylingbin

Just had a look at the watch there and it said it's not november yet.As I'm not a bird, I won't be contemplating any heating til then.
(Though I will be ear bashed into coming up with ever more unlikely reasons for not turning it on)

im tempted to turn on the heating now, its a bit pearl harbour

Son Of A Vidic

We never turn the heating on until October, the odd open fire maybe alright. But like the heating, it's really October as well for the open fire to get going.

AAAAAAAHHH

Jesus, it's not that cold. I'm living in an apartment and I'm pretty warm here in just a t-shirt. And trousers.

Are you woman bashing again? :mad: :pac:

I am of the female variety, and my fire hasn't been lit since January. So

Burning turf is up there with brewing coffee and baking bread when it comes to the best smells in the world ever.

Jaysus im roasted out of it now:o

Mr Benevolent

Are we talking about bonfires here? Goddamn bitch of a weather forecaster on RTE1 was saying 'Oh well, I'm afraid it downhill from here from now on!' I'm going to wring her scrawny neck if I ever see her.

chirogirl

I don't have a fire , would love one though. However, I've underfloor heating. Hopefully, it'll be effective this winter :rolleyes:

Lemsiper

Not cold, sitting here in shorts and no top on.

That fire doesn't need poking! :pac:

Mr Benevolent

I love making the room as cold as possible when my girlfriend is around. You could hang oil paintings on them.

(AH note for sensitive whiny people: There is no misogyny in the above statement.)

Mint Sauce

the heating is on and the fire has been lit for the first time since last winter, although reakon a few of the radiators may need to be bleed, things are not warming up quick.
