*HEATING* - had yours on?

Well we are now getting the evening sun after a very damp and miserable day, I love this time of the day when the late sun lights the lawn and all the trees and the birds are darting all over the lawn and find their supper. Ah I feel very contented

glass - !

I have also arrived back from a few days away to a really cold and damp feeling house. Not only has the heating been back on I have returned to using my hot water bottle, which even I abandoned for a few days in the hot spell. I'm nesh! and never seem to generate any heat when I am in bed, I think I must go into some sort of metabolic hibernation.

I am just off to put the kettle on! Night all!

Woodburner on all evening!!!

Woke up to find my other half had switched the heating to OFF, after I had put it on timer, so that it would be warm when I got up (always first up in the morning). Have duly had a word, and am now just warming up. We back on to a Caravan site, and the holiday makers there are surrounded by flood water, and walking along in wellie boots and duffle coats, feel really sad for them, I am just sitting here drinking my nice hot cup of tea! It is still raining, but the sun is just trying to break through the clouds, hope for a better day today after the relentless rain of yesterday.

Oh yes heating goes on if I'm cold but we had a big surprise we were in credit with EON after the winter and they reduced my standing order from £131 to £82 (gas and electric)

It was on last night but it must be warmer today because the thermostat is still at the same setting but the radiators remain cold.

annobel I had the opposite experience yesterday - came into the house and wondered why all the radiators were belching out heat - it really was so cold that the thermostat had clicked them into action

Even here in SW France I have had to put the bathroom radiator on. No doubt I'll soon be sweltering.

My heating has never been turned off, radiators come on at 6.30 so it is cosy in the bathroom. Since we had all new windows we find that sun does not warm the room like it used to.

I turn down the thermostatic valves on some of the radiators but keep them turned up in bedroom, bathroom and sitting room just in case the weather goes downhill again.

Heating's not back on but the vest is!

My camisoles, discarded during the warmer parts of May, have come out the drawer again too, crossstitch.

For the Scots among us: that cloot I cast before May was oot is on my back again!

have put the woodburner on in the evening. Am seriously thinking of putting the winter weight duvet back on the bed too! I packed my warmer trousers away and laundered my linen ones in anticipation of summer..but have been in my jeans ever since

We don`t usually have the fire on from about mid May until sometime in September, but apart from the mini heatwave that we had, it`s hardly been off. However, it decided to conk out on us on Saturday morning, and the man can`t come to it until Friday morning, so we`ve been shivering a bit.
