Central heating on yet?

I'm quite happy in my fleece (our house runs at 10 degrees lower than outside temp)

Got the mother in law over though.Just can't bring myself to break the central heating ban(in our house) yet.

Still summer isn't it?Do I have to press the dusty button and fire it up?

Not on here yet either. In fact the boiler is on for 30 mins in the morning for hot water and that's it. The wife did mention it - but I said 'NO!'. She also wanted the winter duvet but I said no to that as well. Haven't seen any snow outside yet so why bother ... ?

Not yet for me either. Although it probably won't be long before I have to. Think it will be another cold winter again.

On at 530 to make sure I am not shaving in cold water.

On at 1730 to make sure the kids are not having a bath in cold water.

On downstairs again at 2100 sometimes if needed.

It's on whenever I feel cold. Which in the past has been often even in the winter months. But that's due to my Raynauds.

I have been pretty good this year so far, but I was rather cold yesterday, so had a bath, and then Mr P put the heating on. It stands a good chance that as soon as I'm out of the hot water and into a cold room, my fingers and toes are numb

I do remember it being on in Oct last year .
