Have you lit the fire yet?

beertons · 26-09-2016 07:08PM #1

Bit of a nip in the evenings now.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 26-09-2016 07:09PM

Yeah going to light one in a while if I can find the matches...

ANYONE SEE THE BLOODY MATCHES???? I PUT THEM IN THE PRESS LAST APRIL, WHERE THE HELL HAVE THEY GONE!!!

GLaDOS · 26-09-2016 07:10PM

I have a stupid gas fire that I never bother with

Would love a proper fire.

freshpopcorn · 26-09-2016 07:11PM

We started lighting them last week but we haven't lit them every night.
We're lighting one tonight tough!

lertsnim · 26-09-2016 07:12PM

I will when it's cold.

SCOOP 64 · 26-09-2016 07:13PM

No too early, wait until xmas.

meeeeh · 26-09-2016 07:16PM

I'm cooking dinner in short sleeves, flip flops and I am hot as hell. It's nice to live in a well insulated house.

Witches don't burn as good as they used to

Zaph · 26-09-2016 07:21PM

No, I don't live in the 19th century. I have put the central heating on once or twice though.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 26-09-2016 07:29PM

Too warm yet for a fire or the heating. Sat in a t-shirt outside for coffee today and reading the paper. Far form chilly yet.

Shenshen · 26-09-2016 07:34PM

We did tonight, yes. First time since the summer, but with the wind and rain it just felt like now's the time.

It will be a while before we turn on the heating, though. We don't usually turn that on before late November.

Galwayguy35 · 26-09-2016 07:35PM

No.

I like the open fire on a winters night but it's still too warm for it yet.

yellowlabrador · 26-09-2016 07:40PM

I'm cuddling a hot water bottle

Mint Sauce · 26-09-2016 07:42PM

Only had it lit twice since last winter. Today, and only because was in house all day.

Still in the shorts though.

HeidiHeidi · 26-09-2016 07:43PM

Yep, the stove made its debut tonight. How depressing!

I'm furiously resisting putting the central heating on though - I'm going away on 1st November, going to see if I can stick it out till then!

bee06 · 26-09-2016 07:46PM

Lit it Thursday night (well, the husband did). Our house is roasting so we didn't need it for the heat but it's a nice comfort after a crappy day/week.

stargazer 68 · 26-09-2016 07:46PM

Feck that! Im menopausal so I have my own heating

Family can put a jumper on!

schizo1014 · 26-09-2016 07:46PM

I've been lighting fires the last two weeks here up north.

sjb25 · 26-09-2016 07:47PM

Literally just fired up the stove just now

May order a load of firewood tomorrow now aswell

Cork Lass · 26-09-2016 07:49PM

We've lit the stove the last few nights. Lovely.

That's the next job!

We moved house 6 months ago. Our new house is roasting so we haven't lit a fire or turned on the heating yet.

beertons · 26-09-2016 07:55PM

I'm hoping to hold out for another few days, but I brought in the logs and coal earlier. No fire lighters, so herself won't try to light it on the sly.

Stigura · 26-09-2016 08:08PM

Today, as I woke up beneath a single, thin sheet; I said to the Dog ~ as I eyed the quilt hanging there .....

" I suppose, one day, we'll be laying under that again? ".

But, as it's 66F in here, as I type? I don't really see it happening just yet.

No. I tend to look to the stove for the start of November. Even that can prove a bit premature, these days.

ednwireland · 26-09-2016 08:11PM

spent saturday morning with my new electric log splitter (thats about a quarter of the wood pile split !)
first fire got lit last night

mansize · 26-09-2016 08:13PM

Lit on Aug 31, Sept 1,..., 4 nights last week, Sat and Sunday but NOT today!

ArnieSilvia · 26-09-2016 08:28PM

I live in two houses over the week:

1970's one refurbished recently, freezing cold, sleeping under duvet and blanket in a tracksuit:eek:, you'd need heating on really all the time but my housemates like it this way (?)

My own house, 2014 BER A2 with heat recovery system, hot in the summer but there's never been below 23 degrees in my bedroom since March without heating at all. Prefer it this way, yay

2forjoy · 26-09-2016 08:29PM

i know its a miserable night but my car says its 16 degrees out there right now I'm in Tipperary

Autosport · 26-09-2016 08:32PM

Don't use the open fire as we have it blocked off so the birds can nest in it. Have had the central heating twice this year so far but not tonight

just wait until you discover the heat has been on the entire time

Pinch Flat · 26-09-2016 08:37PM

Just going through the last of last winter's logs, will be ordering another 2 bags this week. Love me open fire.....

Have you lit the fire yet?
