[Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? [2021/22 edition]

[Cheshire Cat]

Went on yesterday when the temperature indoors dropped to 15.5C

 

[Return of the Rev]

Still swimming in the sea, so that would be a no to heating just yet

 

[Peter Grummit]

Yes, unprecedented in September. But I'm all for evidence based policy and it was nippy for the 2 of us working from home, so I fired up the boiler "just to make sure it's all still working".

 

[Lower West Stander]

Not yet. Not until I see my new DD from Octopus...

But dug out my Hoodie today to go in search of petrol.

Same here on Octopus.

10 quid below the price cap though

You should never leave your lightsaber like that though

Especially not in the hands of WALL-E

Tempted today but psychologically putting off until October (roll on tomorrow).

Relented this afternoon…… Doh!

 

[Steve_PPP]

This morning for me. Always good to give the boiler a run before it gets too cold and make sure all the radiators circulate etc.

Warm and toasty house within half an hour. Wife came in and opened the windows.

 

[Rogero]

Recommendations for some wood supplier please for wood burner .

What, in September? Can't see it it going on until the turn of the year. Might have to put a jumper on soon, but the heating? Really?

 

[Cotton Socks]

Thermostat set to 18 degrees, it came on in the night (the lounge has the thermostat in & the door closed at night). I judged it up to 18.5 earlier in the lounge as I was cold sitting here. Keeping the back door open for the dog has officially ended.

So am I.
I love it.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Just cranked mine up to 25... I live in a modern house which seems to think it was built in 1648.

Never mind the issue of whether heating on, my supplier Bulb has just emailed me suggesting I need to top up the credit on my account. Is that a good idea?

Me too.. want me to up it by £45pm, even tho i'm £170 in credit..

Been told to expect £20pm increase in costs from October, but rather money in MY bank than theirs..

I was considering it this afternoon but strangely, it seems to have warmed up over the last few hours. I'm sure the fact that I've been baking and cooking in the kitchen all afternoon has had no effect whatsoever

 

[Weststander]

I must be a wimp, as we've had the central heating on for a hour today and yesterday too, to take the damp chill off the air in our home. It's June FFS.

I mean I know it's not exactly summer weather, but I still have windows open and sat in a t-shirt!

Same as that.

Likewise ..but with no tumble dryer it may be switched on if the current crappy weather carries on, purely to get the washing dry ..personally I don’t want it on ..firstly I am happy in shorts n T shirt (even outside in a bit of rain)..secondly I pay the bill!

High metabolism/ultra fit from your bike riding

I have low blood pressure, so I feel the cold easily .... especially sitting at The Amex in winter.

I've had the fire on a couple times over the weekend to take the chill out the house.
