Still not needed mine on yet, I can imagine how smelly it will be when it does go on, it set the smoke detector off last year with all the dust burning.

Only 6 more days until I'll allow MrsREV to put the heating on for an hour a day. November - February she can pick any hour out of 24 she likes to be warm.

It got a bit chilly here yesterday, down to 75f, the first time my aircon hasn't kicked in in about seven months, and the first time I haven't sweated my nuts off for a while, too! It'll be in the 90's again before the end of the week, genuinely miss Autumn, (and spring and summer) though....

had mine on for about a month now, hour and half in the morning before I get out of bed so my towel on the radiator is nice and warm etc and an hour and half before I get home from work (keeping my towel warm again for my second shower) thats enough to heat the house to keep it warm for the rest of the night

Whenever I moved into my new flat about 5 months ago I had to buy some gas on the powercard for the heating and cooker and I kept on buying gas for a while, having not had gas before I didn't know how quickly it would get used so pretty quickly I had 85 gases according to the meter. I haven't bought any gas for about 3 months and since I have had the heating on quite alot over the past few weeks I keep waiting for it to run out.
I must check the meter to see how many gases I have left as it is getting colder and will prpbably snow soon.
