So, who has put their heating on?

Catlover

I’ve heard lots of people say they haven’t put their heating on yet, but I have; several weeks ago!
It comes on for an hour or so in the morning, and then again at around 5pm. This means, unless the sun is shining, I am freezing cold for most of the day on my days off. I can’t regulate my temperature very well, and I suffer with cold (and hot weather).

  • No, but I am constantly freezing hah. I just refuse to put it on until it is 'cold cold' (maybe like icy cold and I can't avoid it) for the cost and environment, but is stressing me out not being able to get clothes dry -- looking into washer driers for the odd times I cant put washing out on the line to dry -- cannot deal with the smell of not properly dry clothes :'( for now I just wear so many layers and wrap blankets around myself so I have to shuffle from room to room...graceful

    Sounds like my Grandad. He refused to put the heating on until it was cold enough and not before. He always said it was cold enough for heating when the windows and ground iced over and wouldn't do until then. I remember me and my sisters sitting with him shivering and then he would say people our age were too soft and pampered lol. Laughing

    Haha it is probably something I got from my Dad and then him from his parents, my dad tells me about when they would wake up to ice on the inside of the windows etc. so sounds like your Grandad!

    Last winter I realised I should put heating on when I had 'dragon breath' visible when I breathed out in my downstairs hall in about January...my cats of course have their heated electric pads and all their comforts , and I have bought myself an electric throw thing this year, but I am just a very stressed person when it comes to the environment, so just create myself cosy nest zones in every room and put off switching on the gas until I think I could get sick Stuck out tongue
