Mrs Cottager has just told me she's turning the heating on tonight as she's got some of her lady friends coming round. Thing is, since we got a new boiler and controller, she doesn't know how to and I'm going to be keeping warm in the pub.
This is the logical way to do it from an automated perspective however, a chilly nip overnight could well be overcome when the sun rises around the time you get up in the morning. Knowing the temperature will rise naturally allows you to override the heating controller and save some $$$.

It popped on this morning as the 18 degree threshold was broken although Mrs PS with her hot flushes would leave it off until the indoor temp went arctic minus degrees

Started the schedule for mornings, as it’s a bit chilly first thing and I’ve an older person in the house and two residents who do an awful lot of washing that needs to be dried….still working in shorts though and will be up until the end of the month

As long as one’s a matron, they’re experts on everything known to mankind.

You say this like it's a bad thing
(Still in shorts and T in the kitchen, although I have taken to wearing trousers when out, started against Spurs)

It's gone on tonight. But looking at next week it will be off again.

Had a few 30-minute blasts in the morning this week.
I'm up at 6 and out to walk the dog (in shorts, obvs) but Mrs B feels the cold a lot more than me, so I turn it on from 6:30-7:00 to lift the chill off the place so when she gets up for a shower it feels a bit more pleasant.
It was down to 15.8 degrees this morning at 6:30 - I've had my annual reminder at how shit my house is for keeping warm air in/cold air out.

I'm betting on Dec 1st ....at the earliest.
Shorts still on but socks have been donned.
We're not made of money and I fear there are tough times ahead.

Forecast for the next couple of weeks looks mild. November at the earliest.

F**k! I just crept in from the pub and it's like a sauna. The gas engineer had left all the radiator valves open to balance the system and 'bleed the radiators'. Needless to say, I've now turned them all down / off (except for the ones in the room in which the 'entertaining is happening).
