Have you started using the aul heating?

Jesus Wept

Haven't had cause to use it yet but I think the tide could be turning.
How about you?

FreudianSlippers

Yeah had to turn it on yesterday and today. Also yesterday morning my car was seriously frosty.

YFlyer

Since Sunday

Terry

Yeah. Yesterday and today.
It's off now though. Being fat has its advantages.

Casey_81

Yep for sure, its been really frosty these past few mornings...

alwaysadub

Yep. Have lit a few fires in the last couple of weeks, and have had the heating on a couple of times too-was on earlier actually.

Live in an apartment, so the apartments below mine heat my apartment. I save a fortune on heating bills. Money I can put towards my crippling mortgage.

Jesus Wept

I'm winning against all of you.
I'm thinking the place I'm living may have a B2 ber rating, but only guessing this from googling, didn't get one when I moved in (it should have had one though).

Have been wondering if I have benefited from this. there is one floor below and one above me.
It's been swelteringly warm the last couple of months.

LowOdour

Swampy

Blasting it for the sheer luxury of it.

You live in your car? Damn, things must be getting really bad these days.

Probably the only plus of living in an apartment.

The electric blankets been on though...god i love that thing

Posy

My central heating doesn't work so it's up to me to earn a wage while it sits around all day, not even warming the house.
My house is bloody freezing so I've had my electric heater on. But I've been sleeping with a hot water bottle in my bed since September because I live in such a dank draughty ice cold sh!thole.

They were separate thoughts.

starbelgrade

I've had the heating on for the past few weeks. I don't see the point in being cold.

flyton5

I like to turn the heating up full. Then if it gets too warm I open windows one by one til I find the right temperature...

Asphyxia

Yes have it turned on for the past few evenings so I am nice and toasty at my house

Readybrek and star jumps is the way to go...

Tar.Aldarion

Elenxor

Yep..been on for a week!
what is the price of 1000 ltrs of Kerasene at the moment..anyone know?

mistermouse

Now you are going to start a massive panic in the country like the one over in the economics thread where everyone thinks they should move their money abroad...

Everyone else is doing it so we should turn on the heating.

Actually, if it annoys the green party, I think I'll turn it on too :pac:

biko

Rigger, since this is a 50/50 question I've added a poll.

seamus

Been on since Sunday (I think), very low just to maintain the ambient temp. I'm a little higher up than most people though, so it's usually about 2 degrees colder in my area than the rest of Dublin. -2 on wednesday morning!

Strangely I have an option to delete the thread, near the option to add a poll.

chordtype

I don't know how to put it on so no.

thetonynator

ON for the last few days, been fecking freezing here!!!

Cheap Thrills!

Have had it on for the past couple of weeks but it's fcuked so still freezing, have to wear a dressing gown over me clothes about the house. It's not a pretty sight I tells ya. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Son Of A Vidic

The heating came on yesterady - the tide has definitely turned. But the oul open fire is great, that's been getting lit since mid-September.

Novella

My apartment has been freezing for the last week so yeah, I've had the heating on. I love when the air gets all frosty like it is now.

cocoshovel

I have and to no effect, Im still freezing my ass off . I dont remember it being this cold this time last year?

Godsentme

back on couple of nights. Not looking forward to the bill though.

The last bill was for 96 cent gas used. But the bill came to 12.24!!

Made up to that by a standing charge, VAT, and carbon Tax. All legal I'm sure, but fukkit, the dirty basterds can't keep doing this.

thats 1200% more than what I actaully bought.

Its like a butcher saying "2 euro please for the pound of rashers. That'll be 24 euro then please."

jam_mac_jam

Started? weeks ago, you are all mad.

anniehoo

I ticked "have not" yesterday. Can i change it to "raced in the feckin door and put all the rads and fire on" today?

Took 2hrs gettin home from work, got soaked leggin it from the car and my place was freezing. Put a fleece on and all (shexy). Its baltic. Winter is here alright!:(

Lovely and toasty now so happy days

kylith

Have had it on for more than showers for the last week. Bled the rads and turned on the one in the hall yesterday.

I love the tic-tic-tic-woomph of gas heating.

Jesus Wept

Standing charges are sh1t alright. Load of arse especially for something you only use half the year.
