Get the heat on!!

I still leave the window open at night because I get too warm in bed and I sleep in my jocks regardless of the seasons.

It'll be mid to high teens by the weekend.

20 or 21 degrees is what I'd set a thermostat to. Perfick. I love to be warm but hate a stuffy house. Makes me feel a bit nauseous actually.

Storage heaters. Last year I managed until Novenmber wihout heating. This place is a bit warmer so hoping for a a week or 2 extra.

I hate storage heaters. I moved into a third floor, really well insulated apartment this year so I'm hoping I won't have to turn on the storage heating at all this winter. We get the sunshine for most of the day in our living room and have a large window so will be leaving the blinds up while we're at work to capture as much heat as possible during the day. We shall see!

I miss the cold. Looking forward to opening the doors and turning off the AC. Its 34c today so will have to wait another few weeks. The chilled water bills make me miss the oil tank in the back garden.

I lit the fire every evening last week
19 degrees my preferred temp

My husband loves a good fire and a warm house, but I find I'm fit for bed at 10pm if I'm sitting in front of it watching tv. I love winter, Im really starting to feel happier lately with the cold and the dark setting in earlier.

We've had the heating on a few times, I like to be cold though so I turn the rads off and he wonders why the house is chilly when he wakes up

Akrasia · 13-10-2014 3:32pm

I find the best way to avoid expensive home heating costs is to not buy any home heating oil.

My wife doesn't agree and has scurrilously stocked up on all things combustable when I was basking in the warmth of the heating system while at work

FloatingVoter · 13-10-2014 3:38pm

I have a blanket on the couch for any nippy weather. No heating until November at least. I hate a warm house. Had it on all the time two years ago due to a serious illness in the family. I spent the winter catching headcolds and bugs of all kinds. I'm convinced a cold house is a healthier one.
Nothing like jumping into a comfy bed with a hot water bottle at the end of the day. I'd prefer a warm woman but what can you do.

Which would explain your username. Uggh, body heat!

Got a 6kw stove in a couple of weeks ago and have had it on every night since. Great investment. I feel warm even just looking at it.

There is a week or two every year where people are frozen because they are in the "transition period" between summer and winter. They change their layers and then get used to the lower temperatures. Soon 10 degrees will be seen as a warm day.

Most years that transition fortnight is the last two weeks of July.

To the men battling with their wives about the temperature in the house

Cooler temperatures can help people to lose weight and after a few days of the lower temperature, your body doesn't even feel cold anymore

It'll be 20 degrees C at the end of the week. Why would anyone need the heat on?

Cos it's not 20 degrees now, duh.

You do realise the weather varies around the country?

I love a warm house but to quote other half J C woman put off that heat before we die.and him sitting with a fleece zipped up to the neck.

My feet are like ice blocks at the moment.

No heating on yet. Will put it on some time in November I'd say.

That sounds like where I am living now. Gets quite warm in the evenings but there is a problem with the bedroom windows causing the wind to blow through them. Of course the estate agent is slow to deal with it, I could take a family member hostage, ship them part by part and I would run out of parts before they got it fixed.

Get the heat on!!
